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.

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.
