I did not watch the hearings, but good follow-ups would have been:

"Are YOU a woman?"

Am I (Sen Marsha Blackburn) a woman?"

"Is Senator Cruz a woman?"

Biden says he appointed a woman, but if the definition is so difficult, how does he know?

Apparently she doesn’t see much wrong with child pornographers either

Yeah, she is the ideal candidate for the US Supreme Court

Not only that, he can't appoint a woman, he can only nominate one.

This gal is a disaster. The very definition of an "activist judge". It is disturbing, but thankfully she's just replacing another commie. Let's all pray for Justice Thomas' health.

Oh, and just a small request to our South Carolina members...can you all please get rid of John McCain's girlfriend? The guy is a clown and nothing more than a drama queen.

It seems to me that her refusal to define "woman" stating she is not a biologist should really seriously offend the alphabet community. A biologist will give a pretty binary answer. A psychologist may give the answer that community would be looking for.

She straight up said that Congress hadn’t changed the child porn law to suit her opinion so she gives out lesser sentences.

If they can’t kill her nomination with that, well, shit.

Hell, maybe it is her? Who knows, but her leniency comes from something close that has shaped her thinking of this particular matter.

Confirmation is a close call. There are probably some idiot Republicans who will break ranks and vote to confirm; one can only hope there are more sane Democrats who will see her as the disaster she is.

Who wants to start a lottery on how many Repub's line up and vote for this clown? My bet, she gets maybe 10 (or more) RINO's to fall right in line. And when they cast their votes, they will prove once again that they 'and' the Dems are enemies of this country, and we should treat them as such.

As he was questioning Judge Jackson on Wednesday night, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA), was discussing how "rights should be adjudicated." This led to the senator reminding that President Joe Biden wanted a justice who would read new rights into the 9th Amendment, which should be concerning, since Supreme Court justices aren't elected.

Kennedy also quoted an op-ed from Klain in 2019 published in The Washington Post, when Klain was a lawyer in Washington, D.C. "We need to prepare for a complete reversal of the role the Supreme Court plays in our lives," the bold headline read.

"Even in recent years, when the court has been less protective of individual rights and has chipped away at prior protections, advocates have clung to the hope that the Supreme Court might intervene whenever the nation’s conscience and laws need a jolt in a progressive direction," a section the senator quoted from the op-ed read.

"That's policy making," Kennedy offered as he read some of Klain's op-ed. "Do you agree with that statement," he asked Judge Jackson, clarifying he was asking about what Klain said.

Judge Jackson answered by pointing out "Senator, that's a political statement made by someone in the executive branch." As she hesitated with how to answer further, Kennedy offered "I'm not gonna push you on that, and I get it, it's not a good time to make the chief of staff mad, is it?"

Amen to that.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Fuck those idiot Republicans. I also hope there are some sane Democrats who will see this is bad for the country.

I don't mind a liberal justice replacing a liberal justice but this is beyond the pale. Can you imagine what the Democrats would do if she was a Republican nominee with her record of child pornography cases???

And I'd like to throw up at their calls for "civility."



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.
