Klobuchar needs to put a sock in it. Shhesh. The Dems are just off the rails trying to get their political crybaby points out there. If she quotes Ginsburg one more time I am going to get the scotch out.
Hey! Her dad was a boozer!
I would like to smack Klobuchar in her ugly barracuda face. She is a despicable excuse for a woman. How dare this grubby former hack prosecutor from pathetic Minnesota try to school Judge Barrett on the Constitution….
She and that nasty moron Shel Whitehouse and little Dick Durbin should be set adrift in the Atlantic in winter, small boat, no oars, pull plug in bottom….
I loathe these people.
even worse punishment for them:
Make them get a real job where they have to do productive work which meets a reasonable quality standard.
..no scotch for you..rather take brisk walk in wood…
I’m still thinking the same thing I was about her before – I think ACB will be a problem. Too many of the wrong people support including the left wingers at Notre Dame and Obama lawyers.
Now this. She’s banging on about criminal Floyd George who most likely died of a fentanyl overdose via fluid in his lungs making him feel like he couldn’t breathe and how her black kids will have to worry about police brutality bc of their skin color.
Another stealth lib it seems to me. https://nypost.com/2020/10/13/amy-coney-barrett-wept-with-family-after-george-floyd-death/
Funny, I LIKE to see the Dems, displaying their nuttiness for everyone to see. The Repubs shouldn’t get TOO caught up in trying to refute the Dems, or “score points”; just briefly refute and move on.
Give the Dems plenty of rope, to hang themselves, and show their pettyness, vindictiveness, shallowness and childishness.
Let the NOMINEE shine, as the Adult in the room, rather than detracting from that, or falling into the trap of arguing with the Dems,…makes them both sound childish,..”momma always love you more”.
Unfortunately, both Repubs and Dems are running for reelection, and using this as an opportunity for free campaign media.
That’s the only way if we’re going to flip the Senate to the Democrats/Cocaine Mitch
You should get the scotch out regardless, IMO. This entire process crossed the single malt threshold at the outset.
With apologies to Tony Joe White – Klobuchar is Comb Salad Amy. A mean, vicious, straight razor toten’ women.
Klobuchar upset about all the needed victories regarding the mail in/ballot box/deadline voting the GOP has won! They must be livid their cheating capabilities are being limited!
The best one yet is the California Democrats complaining about Republican vote harvesting.
Plus – democrats have scared the crap out of their supporters with China Virus fear porn, very likely making in-person voting turnout lighter than they need to cheat with mail-in ballots. Add in the discarding of erroneously completed mail-in ballots – more likely to be dem than GOP – and we have the makings of a rout.
The Lord works in mysterious ways.
Listening to Klobuchar confirms that she is a truly awful person.
Klobuchar is the RETCH in wRETCHed!!
I would prefer “witch” in the “wretched”!
She is a professional DEM politician, so, yes, truly awful!
As Time passes, I do wonder more and more about the basic morality and perspicacity of Americans who vote for such dismal characters.
They are so misinformed by our media. They only believe “R” is bad “D” is good.
Are they any different than those who always vote R, regardless of how slimy the candidate, “because the D is worse!”??
WE, the people got LAZY, and the parties have encouraged it. Just vote “straight party”, according to a “party platform” which is NOT a Contract with the base, it is “aspirational pablum”, which the party and elected officials are free to ignored, once the votes are counted.
Let’s face it, until PDJT came along, it was understood and accepted that politicians and parties promises to voters were meaningless.
Promises MADE, promises KEPT resonates so much, BECAUSE it is so refreshingly unique.
While Obama took lieing to an extreme, he was simply going a little farther than what had been the norm thru both Dem and Rep admins, and the norm in Congress, for many years.
So, rather than patting ourselves on the back, by repeating how stupid ‘libtards’ are for always voting Dem, perhaps we should focus on the huge timber in our OWN eyes?
Ha! ACB throws back Justice Ginsberg’s words at nasty Klobuchar!
Time to wrap it up Amy — you are a bore and you cannot make a dent in ACB’s armor so end your unnecessary harassment. Geez, how could anyone ever vote for this nag/hag? Her poor husband!
Some of the toughest people in American can’t stand in a long line.
She needs to be reminded of their great grandparents, grandparents, and parents and the Longest Day.
I was born on election day back in the day. My mother went into labor (I was her 8th baby) and they rushed out the door—not to the hospital but to vote for Dwight Eisenhower for president. Just barely made it to the hospital. Doctor said she put voting ahead of me. That’s where I get the need to vote for every president. Mom always told me the same story every presidential election. I miss hearing it.
wonderful
We know that D-Rat judges are loyal and pray at the alter of their party. Republican judges not so loyal, esp after a few rounds of the DC cocktail circuit. I hope ACB is the real deal but who knows. Hope that she keeps those kids off Instagram. Hopefully Trump wins and Thomas and Alito are replaced with younger versions of themselves. We all know how the Rats will vote, lets just skip the questioning and get to the vote.
Comb-ashar thinks a repub poll watcher is intimidating but I bet she’s all for Democommie poll watchers.
what did she ever say about the “poll watchers” in Philadelphia in 2008?
I found an article from the day after that election (2008) – an attorney for the McCain campaign – Lovida H. Coleman, Jr., did not think voters were intimidated (as we know, John McCain pretty much threw in the towel – I guess it was good enough for him just to achieve the status of having been the Presidential candidate that year)
?
Dems used to save their “gee, that’s not fair” arguments for voting for blacks, implying blacks were too stupid to fill out their name and address and political preference or too lazy to get to a polling place or sign up for an absentee ballot. Now, they’ve extended their insult to everyone.
Poll watchers hired by PTrump are now armed and intimidating voters? Where was Klobuchar when the Black Panthers were actualy doing that? What the heck is she even saying there? I’m not going to last much longer watching this fantasyland political show.
Get out the booze! ?
WTH just cause someone happens to be special forces that makes them automatically threatening and engaged in voter intimidation?! Klobuchar needs to shut up!
I’ve signed up here in Arizona to be a poll watcher- Arizona is an open carry State. They told us it was OK to carry on election day of we so choose.
Boom ? Roe is not a super precedent ? ACB
Klobutcher takes a kick to the spuds on superpresidents by ACB
Superpresident! Superprecedent
ACB is frankly , unassailable. Stop the hammering….you can’t touch this.?
Will you please. stop. the. hammering!?
I love that video!?
Wait! What? Klobuchar thinks she would one day be sitting in the Supreme Court nominee’s chair? She comes off unstable. Does Joe have a list- yet?
Envy, is one of the 7 deadly sins and klobutcher shows her envy Of ACB at the very end of her time, haha ?
Fat chance…
Didn’t you catch her earlier comment of wanting to be Queen (in the Senate) and just make decisions…”benevolent queen” in her mind only! Grandiose imaginings…isn’t that a narcissitic characteristic?
Jello Joe won’t provide a list….he would only end up drooling all over it anyway
Klobuchar comes off as thick as a plank ! She digs holes for herself and does not even realise ! ACB is top, very cool head on those shoulders, her extensive knowledge of the law is clearly evident, her deductive reasoning is excellent. ACB will be better than Ruth.
Ooooooh, ACB just told Klobuchar to stuff it! (of course, she didn’t use those words, and did it in a very classy, admonishing way!! lolol)
Justice Barrett just gave a great answer re Row vs Wade & Sen Klobuchar persisting on super precedent questions about it by basically Barrett saying that the case is not on list but fact that so many senators have asked her today about it means they are not sure it should actually be above board.
??WOW!
sorry ^^Roe
spellcheck has gotten me good today!?
Roe Vs Wade is just one of many instances that the Supremes disregarded the 10th Amendment.
Yes.
I am beyond impressed with ACB.
ACB: “Originalism is the reading of the Constitution as LAW.”
The D-Rats have no problem trashing it.
Anyone know if voters in PA can still register to vote if they are not already?
October 19.
Good, perhaps we pick up some registrants tonight.
Scott Pressler is there and going to the rally tonight. Ric Grenell has also been in PA the last couple of days meeting with volunteers and campaigning.
ACB is very very good. Her explanations are terrific and easily understood. I can see why her law students like her as their professor. Super smart and not rattled easily.
I am impressed with our Republican Senators so far. They are using this hearing to educate the public on the role and workings of the Supreme Court. Knowledge that is woefully lacking in the public at large. At the same time they showcase Amy’s competency. For us non lawyers, it is highly informative.
I wish there was a public service campaign to educate people about the Supreme Court. Simple explanation of what they do, simple diagram of how a case gets to them. We’ve got a lot of work to do educating our country on the workings of our government.
Try Hillsdale College –
Thanks, great suggestion for people who want to learn. I’m thinking more about people who don’t have any interest (the sheep)
I have to admit I am very proud of Ted Cruz today, He has redeemed himself with me
I watched President Trumps speech last night and thought he was great, I am sorry though about what Bannon said this morning, OANN and NEWS MAX was showing his Rally last night, I dont know about the others Apparently CNN was there because of their idiot anchor good for people and Great for Barrett she is great in this meeting She is going to be a good justice…
I think Ted was very competitive in the primaries with POTUS and believed he was the best candidate for the Presidency. But after the voters spoke and he saw the results POTUS delivered to the American people, I think he had a come to Jesus moment and recognized that the people selected the best person. Make no mistake, Ted intends to pick up the baton in 2024 and if he keeps principled, I can definitely throw my support behind him or Hawley!!!
Rustybritches, I listened to Bannon this morning. I was surprised to hear his take on President Trumps speech. I was not pleased with his comment. Bannon being Bannon.
Not worth a rise in bp. Bannon will always be Bannon while President Trump will go down in history as one of the very greatest. Ignore Bannon. His kind are legion. President Trump is rare and he’s ours.
What was the Bannon comment? i tried searching within the last 24 hours and all results show his fraud arrest. Please share.
There is something extremely self-serving about Bannon that I do not respect.
Bannon is all about Making Bannon Great* Again
(* wealthy)
I do not watch or listen to him anymore.
Has he been into the hooch?
Could be…..He always looks like he just crawled out from under the bridge with the rest of the wino’s.
ha-ha……you’re right on that one…..he certainly would be in contention for top man in a Gillette or Barbasol commercial either
What did Bannon say?
Ted Cruz is a decepticon…don’t be fooled by him. His wife was on the council of foreign relations and works at Goldman Sachs. She was pushing the North American alliance and I’m quite certain he/she still support TPP as do most (all?) of the Republicans.
He showed his true character during the primaries and the convention.
He also has no qualifications to run the country. He is not trustworthy and I wouldn’t want him anywhere, but he is only qualified to be AG or on the Supreme Court.
Love that! ?
Should add an s to correct Dem image
Schemers
Damn what an upgrade Marsha is from Corker!
Koons up. I’m out. He’s as crazy as they come on the Dem side.
Justice Barrett just gave great answer to Sen Sass about the friendship of Justices Scalia & Ginsburg in putting down the pen and getting along despite their judicial differences.
Coons..up yours! Folks at home don’t understand….Really I guess I’m just STUPID. No sir we are smart and you demean us.
His use of words “Those are fighting words” is NOT funny — Coons is a loser!
This is the guy that grinned as Joe pawed his child. Ugh?
To quote Hubie and Bertie: “RIOT! RIOT!”
“…After several hours of hearings, Barrett pulled out a large crucifix and held it aloft. A light shone from the heavens, and the Democrats knew they were defeated.
They shrunk back and began to hiss. “Noooo!” cried Senator Richard Blumenthal. “It burns us! Take it away!” He dove under his desk to hide from its light.
“Agggghhhh!!!” screamed Senator Cory Booker, his skin sizzling at the sight of Jesus on the cross. “I’ll get you one day, Barrett!”…”

I LOVE this.
See, there is a good reason to wear a mask! Never know when a demoncrat well hurl vomit at you. ?
The lines of attack the Democratic Communists are using here are pathetically weak. Do they seriously believe that public opinion will be massively swayed in their favor by their attacks on the Bill of Rights and their pro-abortion religious preaching, something they have been doing for decades?
Chances are they already have all the votes on those issues they can ever expect to get. One of two things are really going on here:
(1) The Democrat Communists have given up and are just going through the motions.
(2) The Democrat Communists have “bombshell” allegations set to go public AFTER the hearings are over. Delay tactic.
What ACB says, what the constitution says, what the law says are irrelevant to Democrats.
I love ACB’s very subtle expressions. Kinda like “are you an idiot?’ No really YOU ARE AN IDIOT!!!
They (Dems) only care about Constitutional law when it can be twisted and maligned to fit their specific narrative. The Democrats are truly a pathetically corrupt bunch. Coons is an idiot and Flake is a DEM, not a REP so he Coons are two peas in a pod!
When it’s twisted and maligned it’s no longer Constitutional law it’s something else! I call it legislating from the bench to accomplish Democrats leftist ideology which they can’t get passed in Congress!
“Judge, could you show us what you have in front of you?”

Awesome! And so true, especially the hyper female congress gals.
ACB is awesome. Yup, she has that “Are you for real” look on her face.
Conformation coming…All we have to do now is get rid of the ….wise Latina, and that creature from harvard, and we’ll be set….remove and replace roberts with Thomas…
Coons you are asshoe….jeebus
AGREE!!!!!
Pushing back on Coons about questioning her integrity re presidential election dispute cases.
Strong lady.
she is brilliant!
Did I hear this tight that if ACB is nominated she would “consider/ entertain the process” of recusal in election disputes …????….????? Please someone correct this thought in my mind.
I think this is part of her “I can’t commit now to any decision I might make on the Court” position. Just saying she will deal with things when they actually come up.
If something comes up from the Seventh Circuit that she actually ruled on, that might make for recusal, but otherwise if she did not participate in the case below, there’s no reason for her to recuse.
Did I hear this tight that if ACB is nominated she would “consider/ entertain the process” of recusal in election disputes …????….????? Please someone correct this thought in my mind.
I must have misunderstood this. Sorry
Technically, on EVERY case they hear, EVERY Judge has to ask themselves if there is any reason they should recuse, either because they have biases that could interfere with them ruling according to the law, or if there is anything which could reasonably create the appearance of bias.
So, a stupid question to single out one type of theoretical case, and ask if Judge should recuse.
The leftist judges never recuse…Ginsburg should have recused on every case involving Trump policy..she was obviously biased
True.
Thank you.
Are they asking Obama judges that??
who actually relies on the ACA?
I was FORCED TO!
Oh I know. My sympathies. My husbands business made it so we didn’t have to pay the penalties because of the costs of the employee insurance offered by them. Percentage of pay or something?
It is just not who relies on ACA. There were always alternatives to ACA. ACA destroyed he concept of employer negotiated and offered health care. My premiums for the ACA defined “Cadillac Plans” were going down to cover my family of 5. ACA destroyed the notion of small business exchanges. ACA made me change doctors. The list goes on…my costs went up and those of us paying premiums were covering non-payers, discouint payers and a larger share for procedures we did not need.
There is a reason the democrat architect of ACA called voters too stupid to know they were getting screwed.
Oh I get it. Diagnosed with breast cancer at the time….all insurance was way to expensive at the time. Really scary to navigate at the time, but we did it without insurance…strictly cash with a great not for profit hospital system.
This guy sure like to use the phrase “if I could” every time she puts him in his place. He must love to hear himself talk, he drones on and on. Oh my gosh, so annoying!
Typical democrat elitist…before they went full dark side, Fox used to count the number of times Obama used “I”, in his speeches.
Im 60+. I have had a PEC, since birth. nobody denied me coverage in Mi., blue cross blue shield Mi COULD NOT, by law. My premium was normal (sub $400/mo). Thanks barry, now its $1000/mo and my out of pocket is a ridiculous $8000. 3 times more expensive and you have to get cancer before its all inclusive (I also know from experience).
This is a STATE issue… Coons et al…YOU PUTZ.
Would be priceless if the Justice Amy answered, “well Senator, congress can legislate the coverage per your constitutional authority.”
so whats our view on hawley
he seems to be a phenomenal candidate for 2024 along with de santis but i know little about him beyond the superficial obvious stuff
Admittedly I know nothing of him. But so far I like him. being in Florida i’m all for DeSantis.
He won the Hobby Lobby case for before the Supreme Court.
Personally, I think we should stop considering first term Senators as being qualified for the Presidency. Frankly, most or all Senators are not really qualified.
We need people with successful, proven executive experience and/or people with a proven record of winning against the swamp. And sadly in order to win in these times they must be attractive and charismatic.
I really don’t know enough about DeSantis…I would love to hear Sundance’s thoughts/research on him and Kristi Noem.
Conservative women proving once again that smarter is indeed sexier…

Chris Coons – ugh, what a disgusting worm
This is all playing to President Trump favor.
Ted Cruz was magnificent! Hope he runs for prez in 2024. Americans need to hear this kind of fundamental explanation of the Constitution more frequently – I bet most people dont have a proper understanding of this magnificent document under which we live.
It occured to me why the Bolsheviks jumped like a hungry dog on a chicken drumstick to make the most of this Covid thing. Its perfect. It starkly highlights (for them) why individual rights cannot possibly be allowed to exist, when the life of so many millions are at stake. All rights must be sacrificed for the common good.
Marxism , ofcourse, at its root is based on Utilitarianism – Greatest Good For The Greatest Number – which sounds reasonable and “scientific” – until they want to harvest your organs to save 10 other who each needs a body part !
Cruz has the toughness but does he have the flexibility to actually lead and govern?? Plus, Cruz does not have an establish track record of following through on promises, again perhaps stymied by a inability to actually develop compromise.
That is the one thing President Trump brought to the table and a capability the Republicans had shown an utter lack of possessing.
Sen Cruz is too much a political animal to sit on the court…
not eligible for Presidency, I think Senator is fantastic rise…will be interesting if he ever leaves Senate…but why??? 6 year terms…little opposition…
only reason “beto” had a chance was due to Ted’s INSANITY @RNC Cleveland
Personally, I would NOT like to see Cruz run for POTUS, ever.
SCOTUS Justice, Solicitor General, even possibly A.G., YES.
But POTUS, no. During the 2016 primaries, I said Cruz reminds me of a used car salesmen, while Marco is his younger brother, a “Time-share sales associate.
Nothing I have seen since then has changed that opinion, other than to reinforce it.
Just my $.02 worth,…
I think he is splendid and badly needed right where he is. And he likes being a Senator. Said he didn’t want to be a SCOTUS justice.
He said that because he wants to be President and can’t if he is on the Supreme Court.
There’s no dirty money to be made as a Supreme Court Justice.
As I noted in another post…his wife was on the CFR pushing the North American Alliance and works for Goldman Sachs. He supports TPP and was at the border with cheetoh face Beck handing out teddy bears to illegal aliens. He does not support the American worker!

Oh.
I wouldn’t blame utilitarianism, per se, for the horrors of Marxism. Capitalism is, at root, based on utilitarianism – it’s just that it succeeds 1,000,000 times better than Marxism at delivering on that promise. Marxism woefully fails on utilitarian grounds, or by any other philosophical measure.
IMO, utilitarianism – or consequentialism – is one of SEVERAL useful “models” for evaluating public policy. As long as we remember that it is just a framework for evaluating public policy and not a guide for our morality as Christians, which comes from God.
Based on what has been seen so far the final confirmation vote should be majority in agreement for her however it will I’m sure show the world exactly how political and childish the left will be when their votes tally against her.
I’ve received the operations personnel memo showing the NYPD is staffing for post Election Day unrest by assigning most of the department to 1 or 5 shifts and to have non-uniform entities to have uniforms & equipment at the ready
Expect the democrats to repeat 2016, with children being used as human shields leading the “protests”.
Better to post that comment on Presidential Thread.
Anybody seen a large shot of room lately? I bet all the Dems who have already had their turn have left. Another tell of their childishness and disrespect toward her and the hearing.
At least they don’t have the crazy ladies with knitted genitalia on their heads.
Well, as a matter of fact, I did see I wide shot of the room right before they went on this last break. You’re right that most Dems that had previously had their 30 minutes of fame were gone. But then again, the same was true for the Republican members as well.
ACB seems to be highly intelligent…higher IQ than Kavanough, Gorsuch, and Roberts combined. I am thinking she may be able to sway some votes….difficult to argue with her…she knows her stuff.
I like the way she replies if she is in disagreement with misleading statements. I like the way she responded to Klobacher and put her in her place. She has a deep understanding of the law and herself and is not afraid to stand her ground with mean or misleading people. It seems Kavanough and Gorsuch who are extremely intelligent were more concerned about offending people. That was until Kavanough had enough.
I have a close friend who is also a mother of seven children, four of them adopted, and one of those with special needs. She is loving this hearing as it is such an inspiration as to all that a strong woman can accomplish. She also remarked that ACB has all the experience necessary to answer these ridiculous questions and it shows!
“No Senator, you already asked me that question and I already gave you my answer. We’re not going to have this discussion anymore and if you keep bothering me with more ridiculous ‘What-if’ examples, I’m going to assume that you’re bored and I’ll find you some chores to keep you busy until dinner. Is that clear?”
Just try mothering 7 children….can’t trip up this woman at all!
