Posted by Mary Chastain on October 13, 2020 23 Comments

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."

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.

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?!
