Posted by Mary Chastain on October 13, 2020 9 Comments

I thought the left did not like mansplaining because I'm seeing quite a few men on the committee mansplain to Judge Amy Coney Barrett. Sen. Coons actually tried to explain to Barrett what she really meant when she called the ACA ruling from Chief Justice Roberts as "unsound" she was really chastising him.

Barrett Reminds Klobuchar That ‘Scholars Across the Spectrum’ Also Don’t Consider Roe v. Wade as ‘Super Precedent’

Posted by Mary Chastain on October 13, 2020 23 Comments

Hey, Democrats. You cannot "gotcha" Judge Amy Coney Barrett. Sen. Amy Klobuchar kept trying to push Barrett to explain why she doesn't consider Roe v. Wade as "super-precedent," which means it's untouchable or unshakable. Barret explained her position, but also reminded Klobuchar that even progressive scholars don't consider the abortion law as "super-precedent."

Posted by Mary Chastain on October 13, 2020 20 Comments

Hey, Sen. Dick Durbin. When you try to mansplain a judge's opinion to said judge, maybe you should read it. Durbin could not believe Barrett thinks felons should own guns! Except, you know, she didn't.

Joe Biden is having a Joe Biden kind of day. I mean, how many of these gaffes and goofs does one need to witness in order to think that something is wrong? Biden could not remember Sen. Mitt Romney's name nor could he remember the office he's running for.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham swore in Judge Amy Coney Barrett around 2 p.m. ET. We finally got to hear from Judge Barrett after hearing the opening statements from the senators. I think I speak for us all when I say that I would rather hear from her than any of the senators.

Posted by Mary Chastain on October 12, 2020 35 Comments

It looked like Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) delivered her opening statement for Judge Amy Coney Barrett's hearing remotely using a teleprompter. It made the delivery even more awkward, especially since it's hard not to follow her eyes.

The history of Israel since its rebirth in 1948 has been littered with numerous brutal acts of terror and bloodshed against its citizens and defenders.

I swear, these hearings serve no purpose other than for politicians to hear their own voice and put on a show. They always have to use kids to push their agenda. You don't hate kids, do you?!
