I have no doubt that she will be confirmed. The question of if she should be though is a totally different animal. Given her very public statements and support for various identity-politics groups, IMO she is unfit to hold the seat she currently occupies, let alone on SCOTUS. Of course the fact that the majority of the people are not in favor of her confirmation won’t have any impact on Congress though, because it’s not like they were elected to represent us or anything.

Except that nobody gives a rat’s ass what republicans think.

You do, DINO, or you wouldn’t be posting here.

The Dems could nominate Bill Ayers and you would be in favor of it.

Supreme Court nominees don’t get elected.

First time I agree with DINO. What’s more, it’s unfortunate that it takes someone like DINO, probably accidentally, to raise the point that this political circusing will lead to greater and greater partisan decision-making in our Court in the future.

She was nominated. The senate wants to confirm her. Let it go.

Actually, whether she is appointed is up to a vote in the Senate, after a vote of the committee. It’s an election, just not an election where all the American people get a vote; only the ruling elite.

You have a better idea? Pray tell, share with us.

Gee, all this time I thought the Senate was charged with giving their “Advice and Consent” to presidential nominations. Further, I thought these Senators were elected to represent “the people” of the United States, not their partisan interests. Damn Constitution!

Further, it is the role of the “opposition” party to make sure the people see every aspect of the lives of the people the President nominates that, the people then might express their views to their Senators, and the polls help to inform the Senate of their feelings on the matter!

HP, “She was nominated. The senate wants to confirm her. Let it go.”

“The world is a dangerous place; not because of those who do evil, but because of the good men that do nothing.” (or SAY nothing)

Now I’m not saying I think she is ‘evil’ BUT the concept is the same…

My family, including me, are known for holding grudges & I will let that be shown come election time.

In other words: I am not questioning your right to object right now, I am questioning the wisdom of you choosing to exercise that right.

HP: “…we are creating a precedent where the kind of judges we get are going to be as dishonest and power-oriented as our elected politicians.”

I think we are already way past (even before this one) worrying about noms giving “politically safe” answers in a “circus” like setting.

CYA is already the norm now for SCOTUS noms (& some other noms) & so is the circus.

AND if we set a 21st century precedent that even noms that have made obviously racist comments (no matter from which race) like she has will “get a pass”…that is really dangerous.

what actual people out in the actual world thing[sic] funny is.

I’ve noticed that Wankertized has an aversion to the “T” word (think), as well!

Da Wiz Pee-body Flagtie:
I don’t know if they offer comedy classes at the community center or not, but perhaps you should take some… or hit a comedy joint or maybe rent a funny movie sometime… just so that you can begin to have a shred of a glimmer of an inkling what actual people out in the actual world thing funny is.
