Gonna be a long week
I am going to try and watch all of the proceedings of the senate to examine the bona fides of the Supreme court justice nominee. If I get thru day one with out going to the bathroom and throwing up, I will have experienced a miracle. All the opening remarks have been given by members of the judiciary committee, Judge Barrett, and a few other outsiders who know her from past experiences.
Committee is in recess until 9:00 am et tomorrow. Proceedings can be viewed live on CSpanseeya

Great, I’ll be looking forward to reading the cliff notes... save me from puking, thanks for taking one for the team.

Re: Gonna be a long week
It looks more like an Obamacare hearing. It looks like the Dems are trying to make this on healthcare, when it isn’t.

Re: Gonna be a long week
I'm trying to do a politics cleanse. I signed up for a 30-day free trial of YouTube Premium so I don't have to see any political ads. Did the same with Pandora Premium. Not watching news on TV, took the political people I follow on Twitter, moved them to a list and then muted them all. FB friends posting political stuff--I love them, but I'm snoozing them. Just can't deal with it anymore. And yet here I am in The Barber Shop....

Honestly will Barrett repel all those rulings?

Re: Gonna be a long week
BEvans -- good luck with that. Not a bad idea. I keep waiting for Washington to call me for opinions but no matter how much I stay informed it doesn't happen, so not sure of the point.
People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

Re: Gonna be a long week
It isn’t likely any of those will be repealed. Something undoubtedly will be done in regards to abortion, but that is because the Liberal states are legislating abortion up until and immediately after birth, and the conservative states have sought to limit late term abortions.

Re: Gonna be a long week
If you have any medical issues beyond a hangnail, you are toast. Just lie back in your recliner at home and die. Republicans and Judge Barrett do not care if you live or die. On the other hand they do care if a fetus has a right to live or not. If you are a fetus, then the democrats want nothing to do with placing Judge Barrett on the empty spot in the SCOTUS lineup as they want the right to kill the fetus, and they can not get Judge Barrett to voice any personal opinions as she will decide issues based of constitutional law and legislative precedence.

Re: Gonna be a long week
We do not need to be watching a confirmation hearing. Should be working on a new Covid welfare bill. To heck with the idea that the supreme court needs to be at full speed so when the election is contested on one side or another, the court can do it's job and determine who is the winner without question. Klobuchar is really going downhill in my eyes. She is now appearing to be a typical rude Minnesotan and I will never forget her performance.

Re: Gonna be a long week
exactly. I have been saying this for some time...but she didn't want to. I see it a bit like Dak Prescott. Made a decision to not sign a big contract, hoping for a better one, and the decision didn't pan out. Live with the consequences.
The idea that this is the doom of either the ACA or abortion is silly IMO. It might lead to a BETTER form of both. An ACA where I can keep my policy which offers what I need, based on my beliefs and where I am willing to risk, and a policy on abortion where infanticide is outlawed would be beneficial.
Thing is Congress MAKES the law, not the SCOTUS. At least that is how its suppose to be. If congress does not like how the SCOTUS rules, they have the ability to CHANGE THE LAW. Most controversial SCOTUS decisions are based on poorly written laws where the justices interpretations are open because the law is vague or off point.Aging is an extraordinary process where you become the person you always should have been.--David Bowie.

Re: Gonna be a long week
He does not have the stones to do that. That would required him to stand up to Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, as well as the likes of Bernie, Warren and AOC. Plus I don't believe he isn't in favor of it. He is in favor of whatever leads to more power. He is a classic swamp monster, where power is what matters.

Re: Gonna be a long week
Senator Stolen Valor frenzied at the possibility he won’t get to murder millions of babies.
I say this even though I am pro-choice (with sideboards). He is a weasel and not just disrespectful but dishonest and insulting in his framing of the issue.
I have decided to reread Term Limits by Vince Flynn.

Blumenthal does not belong in the Senate. He is incapable of understanding clear and succinct answers to his direct questions, or if that is not the case, he is a good actor at portraying a bumbling nincompoop.

Darrell. I believe she could out Lawyer you, and I do not think that would be easy to do. She is very sharp, crafty, and elusive. They have not been able to pin her down in any spot she did not want to be pinned, and believe me they have spent a lot of time trying to do exactly that.

Above all, once again Mazie Hirono why she is the dumbest member of congress (not just the Senate but all congress).

Re: Gonna be a long week
So in the day when I wrote a letter of support for same sex couples “sexual preference and gender orientation” were the usage of the day, and of courts. The ACLU helped me with my language. And yet, here they are hanging her out
To dry over that phrase. The Supreme Court even refers to “making personal choices” in the same sex marriage case. But They hang her out to dry cor this language. These are the actions of extremists.

She is a very smart woman. Has so much case law basically memorized from what I can tell. But Harris seemed just the opposite in her time. What a contrast.

Re: Gonna be a long week
Wow. People are shooting each other over political beliefs. There is more hate and anger on both sides than at any point in my life.
People can’t even have political debates and discussions anymore. Like it’s literally impossible.
There is more name calling and character assassination than I’ve ever seen on both sides. That’s always been around with our politicians but never like this with the voters.
Someone (you?) literally said we may have another civil war.
What do we need to heal from? Lord.
