    This woman is incredibly mediocre, which is really disappointing. Completely unimpressive intellectually. Not a surprise, given that 94% of the population was excluded from the nomination when Biden announced he would only consider one specific race and one specific gender for the role.

    Despite her obvious shortcomings, at least Republicans are treating her with decency. What the Democrats did to Kavanaugh was the lowest form of politics in decades. Although not as bad as colluding with foreign governments to frame Trump for Russian collusion, weaponizing our legal system and intel agencies to go after political opponents, stifling freedom of speech by colluding to silence down conservative voices, systematically committing voter fraud in the 2020 election, and putting forward a Presidential candidate who is compromised with both Russia and Ukraine (who we should note are now at war).

    Too many years of pushing hyperpartisan stances, then worsened by supporting and defending trump. He may know presenting this argument is morally repugnant and wrong but at this point he doesn't care.

    Interesting that you openly admit your racism this time. You’re normally better at masking it in dog whistles, but clearly saying you don’t think it’s possible to find someone impressive intellectually that is a black woman is the most direct I remember you being.

    LOL, what a dumb take. There are many really smart black women. She just happens to not be one of them.

    Not sure you'll get it if I explain it to you (even slowly), but when you exclude 94% of the population when making a selection, then odds are, you aren't getting the best candidate. Pretty simple.

    You said it’s no surprise he didn’t find an impressive intellectual candidate when he limited the pool to black women. That’s your stupid take bro not mine. Sorry you slipped up and messed up your character work here but don’t be mad at me.

    I can get why Kavanaugh would be angry but again this is a USSC justice. In his outburst he didn't just defend himself he also started going off about a Leftists and a conspiracy against him. He basically said he was biased against an ideology.

    I'm not surprised by the how the hearings are going with Senators like Graham, Cruz and Hawley grandstanding. When many in the GOP were saying this wasn't going to be a circus and they were going to treat her fairly I pretty much knew it was going to be a circus.

    False. I said it's no surprise he didn't find something more than mediocre when he limited the candidate pool. It's the limitation of the pool, it's not the race. I never even said black, you dunce. If you had a good argument, you wouldn't have to put words in my mouth.

    You are also unimpressive intellectually. Having to rely on the race card like you do is a very low form of debate. Intellectually bankrupt.

    GOOD DAY

    The retrumplicans showed their cards too early it seems. If they were smart they would have recognized that jumping to oppose this highly qualified and exceptional nominee on such specious and offensive grounds would be pointless and will only strengthen Biden's next nominee since any opposition to the next one will be seen as a continuation of hyperpartisan grandstanding and blockage. Biden might have moved to a more centrist nominee (especially with expected changes in the senate) but now Biden will nominate whatever candidate he wants knowing the senate will simply oppose any candidate regardless of qualifications, experience and background. The irony... graham's circus act probably killed Judge Child's chances to get the next nomination.

    What really is the point of all this questioning besides showcasing? It's so obvious they have nothing legitimate to attack her with. Just confirm Judge Jackson and move on. The Republicans really don't care anymore, these guys took off their white hoods and are showing their true nature for all the world to see. They have no leg to stand on anymore. Having a black president for 8 years really screwed with their minds.

    The purpose is to setup campaign ads, fundraising blitzes and position for re-election or presidential aspirations. That's it, nothing more.

    Donald Trump limited his picks to a list of 21 people.

    Your existence in this BBS is devoid of anything but car crash level entertainment. You're like a pet goldfish that's entertaining the first few times you go bloop. I've fed you today but I'm bored now.

    Again, false. Trump imposed no gender or racial restrictions on his candidate pool, from which 21 were selected.

    You can't even lay a finger on The_Conquistador.

    ¡demasiado fácil!

    The GOP picks which Trump abides by absolutely 100% have a religious restriction.

    The purpose is for ignorant FoxNews viewers to see this in passing and then later on at a BBQ with their friends to say something like "Oh I hear the Dems are nominating judges who help Pedophilia offenders go free." and that just becomes a viral "Defund the Police" narrative that is obviously unfair, and demagoguery but it catches because.... lets face it.... Americans on the right aren't trained to be intellectually honest people, and are fed conspiracy theories for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner.

    Does it change any votes in the middle or suppress them on the left though??... that's the big question. I kind of wish KBJ would just straight up accuse them of trafficking's in QAnon conspiracy theory though to their faces. I think on the left that boldness to call them out might actually serve her well, and calm them down a bit.

    My wife's trump/qanon brother and sister-in-law are in town, so I will have to hear all about pedophilia at dinner tonight. Of course when they aren't complaining about how Canada is socialist (they have a vacation home in Canada that they couldn't visit) and Biden is part of the one world order...
