Coney Barretts confirmation hearing - 10/13/20 02:04 PM

The dems are making idiots out of themselves. Feinstein really shined. Judge Coney Barrett seems to be a class act and i think will do a great job.

Idiots don’t look like idiots to other idiots.

They are being allowed off the chain and they don’t know how not to bite.

Feinstein was trying very hard to trap Barrett especially on gun issues

Re: Coney Barretts confirmation hearing - 10/13/20 02:50 PM

Lindsay Grahams interview with her was very well done. Barrett wouldnt answer Feinsteins questions because she kept asking for personal opinions on cases that Barrett might possibly hear someday. Watching Feinsteins nonverbal frustration was worth my time.

Central theme of questioning from Democrats appears to be "do you agree with us that proper role of a judge is to allow personal opinions and political objectives to affect outcome or rulings"?

Correct answer is no..........which is why Democrats are in the minority. Voters saw to that.

I hope if she says yes the Republicans vote no to her.

Re: Coney Barretts confirmation hearing - 10/13/20 03:19 PM

She has consistently, and persistently said no......yet they keep asking.

Which is why you don't want an activist judge......which she is not, but which she is replacing.

Watched Durbin of IL try to trap her with her decisions in some old cases she presided and some hypothetical ones. She explained her opinions which were based on common sense interpretations of the law and how it was intended. She's definitely a very sharp person.

I'm happy to see she is flying right through the hearing process.
The Dems are having a hard time with this one. I think because the appointee is a woman the Dems don't want to look like they are picking on her; really puts them between a rock and a hard place. I love it.

They are on a break right now. NBC reporters are critiquing the hearing. As expected, they are doing their best to find fault with the proceedings. They admitted that ACB has been quite impressive in her responses.

She missed a great opportunity to humble Durbin (if he has any morality) when he was comparing gun rights to voting rights. She should've told him to read the constitution.

I never said anyone on the court or ACB did believe that, but it was literally all the 1st several democratic senators would talk about, especially feinstein.

The senator that is currently speaking is an idiot. The SCOTUS purpose is to decide based on the Constitution.

This person is advocating legislating from the bench.

I was neutral on Harris before but now watching this she has really shown herself. Not an intelligent leader. She doesn't get what (or doesn't want to get) the role of the judicial branch.

She should have said " Yes, yes I did and I have 5 children to show for it. When it didn't work, I adopted a couple more."

It's called shadowing in psychology. Your world views are cast upon or "shadowed" all around "you."
Wonder why some of this dingdongs ask such weird questions?

They shadow everywhere they roam.

Yes, that whole line of questioning raises the red flag with me. Why would a person ask such questions??

It wasn't until the hearing was about over with Kavanaugh when they accused him of attempted rape.

Re: Coney Barretts confirmation hearing - 10/14/20 07:27 PM

If I was to be in the position to question a nominee, I'd question their stance on relying heavily on precedent for their verdicts.

Cavanaugh also said he'd rely on precedent verdicts to influence his decisions. I'd ask them how more freedoms are attained if relying on precedents? Such as voting rights, ect.

I just don't see the reason there is so much weight put on them. Any thoughts?

I would view the Constitution as precedent.

Also if previous decisions were not used as some basis for new decisions, can you imagine the chaos that would be generated with each new iteration of the court ? As member justices change, so does the world view of the court. That shouldn't influence decisions but we know it does......Roberts ! Consequently, I prefer the court to be constrained by precedent.

What a pathetic group of misfits! Nothing but a dog and pony show with these clowns doing nothing but make political statements and fools of themselves. A lot of these questions, like that of the Hawaiian are completely out of order. This group of democrats and their conduct make me ashamed that they are members of the U.S. Senate!
