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!!

“Nearly all are known to have designs on higher office”.

Think TPM meant to say designs on lower office as in King of Hell (if there was one).

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.

Hawley, Cruz and Cotton are running for president and are all competing for the deplorable vote. The Repug debates will be a true race to the bottom.

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!

– That’s what Chuck Grassley would say.

On Fox they are not outclassed by this fine intelligent lady.
Fox’s logo should read, “Release the Assholes”.

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.
