Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Josh Hawley (R-MO), Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) got what they set out to achieve in their performances during Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation hearings Wednesday: airtime on Fox News.
Hawley, Cruz, Cotton, Graham, FoxNews, and all of their ilk with their grotesque, hypocritical histrionics are a virulent cancer on the body politic, democracy, and our country. And, they had the audacity to question KBJ’s application and fidelity to the law??? Deplorable ad infinitum!!
It’s no coincidence that Reagan kicked off his 1980 campaign talking about ‘States Rights’ in the southern county known for murdering civil rights protestors.
If these assholes had performed like that in her court room she would have found them in contempt, had them removed, and fined them. I think she can do that, I know I would.
No quid pro quo! No quid pro quo! You can’t prove that they were explicitly promised the air time for their campaigns in advance. You can’t prove it! No collusion!
The US Senate today is the world’s most obstructive body. John Jay, often trotted out by the Federalist Society, was the son of New York’s largest slaveholder. Even from a distance of several centuries, he would have no trouble finding Ted Cruz disgusting or seeing that his anti-racist baby book screed would backfire and make the book a bestseller. He would have found it a head-scratcher that Josh Hawley, a traitor, self-promotes as “America’s leading constitutional scholar.” In any case, he would be stunned that the Senate no longer does much of anything.
