“I’m troubled by it because it’s so outrageous,” Durbin told Politico. “It really tests the committee as to whether we’re going to be respectful in the way we treat this nominee.”

The Claremont Institute is getting everything it ever wanted in spades with Hawley and Cotton. Electoral autocracy is not a good look, though.

You have to give Republicans credit. How many of us predicted when Jackson was nominated that the main argument against here by GOP would be she supports pedophiles?

I wonder if Dems and the WH can burst these false flag attacks on Jackson in the same manner as the USIC has done with Russia and Ukraine. Publicly predict their behaviors ahead of time, and dare them to comply.

Press Secretary Jen Psaki quipped of Hawley at her daily briefing that “I’m not sure that someone who refused to tell people whether he would vote for Roy Moore is an effective messenger.”

FROM THE TOP ROPE!!
