Coons goes on and on and on and on. By the end of his seemingly endless diatribe, I saw the first signs of anger on Judge Barrett’s face. I had had the sound off and was making lunch, so I don’t know what precipitated that icy look. I did see a chyron across the screen that she’d said she wasn’t there to destroy the Affordable Care Act (paraphrased). The Dems are wearing their agenda – ACA, abortion, same sex marriage – in red letters on their foreheads….
Every single time I see Sen. Coons, I cannot help thinking of how he allowed Joe Biden to get away with what he did at a swearing-in ceremony – at least his wife told Joe to stop that (but I would have hauled off and smacked both of them, one for what he did and the other for what he didn’t do)
Coons was also BFF with Jeff Flake.
In break, should resume @ 4pm
Dinner break around 630pm
Resume after dinner until end @9pm
Here is list of Senate Committee next up @4pm I believe should
be Blumenthal….30 min allowed per Senator.

I haven’t been able to watch much of the hearings. So I am surprised to learn that the Democrats could already have stacked up so much bile and horse—- in such a short period of time without Blumenthal shoveling some of his sick twisted crap on the pile.
Fake News, Fox’s John Roberts. The President wants 9 on the Supreme Court — in case the election ends up in court. He doesn’t “believe”. He is being responsible— just in case. Not to mention, it’s his Constitutional duty to nominate to fill a vacancy— just like Obama.
Roberts doesn’t know that a 4-4- tie affirms the result below, even though it might be legally flawed? Does he understand why state and federal appeals courts have an odd number of judges? OK, probably not.
My goodness, she is a very impressive judge and so well articulated. New nothing much about her until she became shark bait for the Dem j]erks. Hopefully, these dems actions will cost their party votes this November.
Danang Dick cries on cue. Shame on him for exploiting that beautiful boy. No depth too low.
does Dick have early onset parkinsons?
and if so, was it somehow caused by his service in Vietnam?
“Agent Orange” must have gotten the better of him.
No disrespect meant for ANY of our brave men and women who served out country in that war!! Thank you!!!
I have a friend of mine who served in the CT senate with Da Nang dick. He said if there was a social gathering, and dick showed up, they’d all scatter – regardless of party. He was hated by EVERYONE….
BTW, my friend now lives in FL and is a repub…
Ha! I’ve known those people too, unfortunately. Your friend saw the light. ?
Every time I hear Danang Dick speak I want to vomit! What a giant pile of human garbage.
Have you noticed how many Politicians have really weird voices? Klobochar, Collins, DaNang, Barney Frank…
Judge Barret has acquitted herself well in regard to the demands for recusal on election matters. She could not say more than she has. To do otherwise would be to offer her opinions on controversies that may end up before her. If I am not mistaken this is the “Ginsburg Rule.” Funny how the Democrats want it both ways–uphold Ginsburg’s pronouncement but not when they fail to support their goals.
What do you suppose her IQ is? She is a very powerful educator, making complex topics simple and clear.
IQ? Way above anyone in that chamber…hands down.
I don’t know what her IQ is but it has to be stratospherically higher than the likes of Klobuchar – like comparing a dirt clod to a diamond.
Here we go…..
Hmmm…Future President?
Big deal, Dickie, you didn’t know she’s pro-choice?
Sasse seems pretty smart. i like him. What say you Nebraskans?
Not from NE but he is a raging never Trumper (think Jeff Flake scale or Mitt Romney) and is connected to the Congressional page scandal. There is a reason Sundance every now and then posts the picture of him in his gym shorts sitting on the wall talking to Chuck Schumer.
So he is a fake. sigh.
I like how matter of fact she is in answering questions. No nonsense and no BS.
Ever see one of those TV legal shows in which a lawyer goes on and on with a lecture to a witness on the stand, and either opposing counsel or the judge interrupts and asks, “Is there a question in there somewhere?”
I wish Barrett would respond like this once or twice.
Many years ago I had to testify in tort claim suits against the state of Texas. Often, the plaintiffs attorneys would pontificate for 4 or 5 minutes and ask a compound, convoluted question that was leading and couldn’t be answered. I always enjoyed asking them if they would mind repeating their question. On several occasions, the judge would actually laugh out loud.
the irony of blumenthal criticizing Barrett for not being fulsome in her recollections of her past
delicious
reminds me of that time back in da nang when charlie was up on us…
He is shameless.
Danang Dick! He creeps me out!
Of course he does….because he’s NOT a man of character.
Blumenthal, keep the slithering up.
His species is one of the lowest in the swamp.
Blumenthal is an idiot, so sick of hearing these ridiculous sob stories. ACB is not there to give reassurance to anyone on anything, she is there to be confirmed for the court, not to give her opinion or her beliefs. This is total BS and should not be tolerated.
Dear Lord…I hate these baby killers…WTF IVF…how is this relevant? Dick you are aptly named.
Bringing up the issue (in a very inept way) of the legal status of unused embryoes?
I understand that. ACB has said a 100 times she isn’t going to state a judgement as a judge during this hearing. It’s just a waste….but it exposes their agenda…just kill the babies.
Imagine Blumenthal –trying to date.
lol
I believe he met his future wife when she was 16 and there at the club with her parents – they got put together in a tennis match.
That is very true , she was 16 and he was like 31 (a little creepy don’t you think) . She is from a VERY wealthy real estate family ( Empire State Building etc) > Blumenthal was a social climber /striver. He zeroed in on her and staked out his territory so to speak. They were married when she graduated from college. So their high net worth is her money.
Well that’s just plain gross, Patience. EEEWWWWW!!!! ??
I don’t wanna schtup I just wanna shtick the h
ead in –a little
is so Blumenthal
?
Oh gawd another one of these idiots claiming that the ACA has saved these poor children’s lives. The ACA is insurance you idiots…it doesn’t save lives-the doctors and treatments and hospitals do!
I would like to know how much all these poor unfortunate sick people actually pay for their ACA insurance?
BCZ for me it was so ridiculously expensive I couldn’t – didn’t pay for it the taxpayers did!
Even with it I had an enormous deductible and a crappy plan. Thank God I didn’t need to use it bcz after the $1200 per month cost, I had no coverage until I paid $6,000 more out of pocket.
Wonder if these ACA lovers have the same plan & coverage…methinks they have unlimited coverage all free which should be medicaid not ACA.
Is it just me or has anyone else heard this expression “settled law” with regard to ACA &/or Roe v. Wade?
I have been hearing the phrase “settled science” with regard to theories of climate change/global warming and to me, that is so unscientific to even articulate such a phrase, “settled science” . . . that sounds like the people who did not like what Galileo had to say!
It seems to me it ought to be totally against the grain to put “settled” and “science” together – science is the continued expansion of understanding and even turning things upside down that were considered “settled” by lesser minds . . .
so now “settled law” . . . to me, the only immutable and “settled” law is the United States Constitution as originally written . . . it seems to me they are putting picket fences, maybe barbed wire around things that they think should not be touched, such as ACA &/or Roe v. Wade . . .
ACA where Congress failed utterly, with the Speaker saying that they would have to pass it first, before reading it!
The Dred Scott decision was “settled” at one time . . . I think voters need to ask our vain and insipid Senators up there if they remember that.
Why the hell is it so important to KILL babies? I just can not fathom why it is foremost in the mind of anyone.
I lost 2 babies to miscarriage. Oh my.
? (a broken heart, fyi; as a sorry isn’t enough)
Interesting how life goes one, yet/while the memory and wonder (etc) lingers.
oops (heard Horono speak)
on
but then I was graced with two boys who are the most loving and wonderful sons ever. plus I was also blessed with my stepson. So sad beyond measure at the time but I was also blessed with unbelievable joy.
Ok. Real answer here. It is important for 3 reasons: First, money. It’s always about the money. Second, body parts and stem cells to get more money. Third, the blood for human sacrificial rites and adrenochrome production. If somebody tells you any other reason than these 3, they are either ignorant or lying. It is literally blood money.
I also think, as sick at it is, they enjoy it.
Yes, they do. So much evil.
Wake me when denang dick stops talking
Barrett to Blumenthal: “I dont think youre making it up.”
bingo
I think a good rule of thumb is to assume that Dick IS making it up!
Did I just hear Danang Dick say he was at Sandy Hook. I would expect nothing less of this pathetic waste of human skin!
Ran all the way? Toward it?
November 11, 2015:
Sen. Richard Blumenthal is facing criticism over claims he lied in a comment he made in an MSNBC interview about being in Newtown when families were being informed about losing their loved ones in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting massacre.(Snip)
Blumenthal arrived at Sandy Hook hours after the tragedy occurred and even longer after most families had been notified that their child had been murdered.
Multiple sources told NBC Connecticut who were at the Newtown Fire Department with parents in December 2012, that Sen. Blumenthal was not “in the room” with parents when they were notified.
Elizabeth Benton, Blumenthal’s Press Secretary, clarified his remarks Tuesday, saying, “Senator
Blumenthal was outside the firehouse when the families emerged.”(Snip)
He was critical of Blumenthal because this wasn’t the first instance when he appeared to misremember or revise events of the past. Blumenthal incorrectly stated that he had served in the military in Vietnam. While he was in the armed forces during the war, the Yale graduate and eventual career public servant to Connecticut never stepped foot in Vietnam and it became a campaign issue for him.
https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/blumenthal-faces-criticism-over-sandy-hook-account/85446/
He has a memory like Joe’s! A very creative one! ?
yo dick, if I make too much to get a health care subsidy and I have to pay for people you talk about as tho you know (liar, you wouldnt be within miles of em)…’ could I at least count on you to legislate that I get a FREE CADILLAC policy LIKE YOU GET??
didnt think so, dick.
Creepy dude. More huge pics…sheesh blumenthal. the laws save people then why are people still dying?
rofl Klobuchar is such a buffoon…. and actually dares to imagine SHE (Klobuchar) would be a worthy nominee for the Supreme Court… let’s hope not!! All these DemocRAT Senators are such vile buffoons….
Did Klobuchar need to call Housekeeping following her pathetic lost opportunity to work towards confirm an exceedingly brilliant and well-qualified jurist to the SCOTUS to clean up her eviscerated entrails?!
What a collective Klown-Kar Krap show the dems are putting on here!
ACB partakes in Constitutional rights.

dumber than a box of ted lieu’s mazie
Hirono….I am gone. I love how they think they can blame China Virus deaths on our President!
Who writes this stuff…Hirono?
Muting Hirono – cannot take this.
every sentence ends like she’s asking a question
Hirono is lost in the woods of her own printed incredibly voluminous rambling words. Judge Barrett has to be ready to quit. If she didn’t drink before, she may start tonight… These mental midgets would drive anyone to drink…
OMG, now the esteemed Sen Hirono. How does Judge Amy keep a straight face listening to this mental midget?
Drama Queen Wallace and big fan of the Dim’s poster props —tells a professional woman how to behave?
I heard Wallace. Another sick-making comment from that squish.
He wasn’t ever fooling us, but he isn’t even pretending since the debate. He’s so furious about making a fool out of himself, he’s gone full libtard. Never go full libtard!
Agreed. Wallace outed himself trying to protect his candidate snd blames Trump for his own failure to pretend he is a real journalist and not apropagandist. Look out for the Trump Curse Chris. You might want to Google Megyn Kelly, kathy Griffin, Lindsay Vonn, Peter Fonda..
🙂
It’s almost like Wallace knows the “questions” the Dims are about to ask.
Wallace sounds just like Hirono.
Wallace has the same erroneous view of what an appellate judge should be as Obama.
Obama talked about “empathy,” and Wallace about “compassion.” (“Awwww, that poor little thing. I think I’ll rule iin her favor.”)
Sorry, guys, it’s law, reason and logic on appeals. The emoting is reserved for lawyers in the courtroom.
Yes, it should have been disqualifying when Sotemayor claimed she could make better decisions by bringing her experiences of being a wise Latina.
Your first mistake is listening to Fox / Wall-ass.
PBS thankfully has no bloviating communists interjecting their useless bovine manure over top of the existing bovine manure coming from Senate DemoCommunists..
What the heck lady…what is the house doing to help the American people during “covid” blocking more aid? yes that’s helpful..
LOL! Glad to see that I’m not the only one that muted Mad Mazie!
Holy crap did she just ask that about sexual misconduct What a bitch…i can’t believe it.
Blumenthal is sickening.
I totally agree. 👿
Worse.
Blumenthal is the nasty stuff that comes out of you when you are sick.
I took constitutional law and evidence with Judge Barrett not too long ago, all I can say is she’s going to be great. We had a buffoon in my class who dared ask her why we were studying the civil war era cases when discussing executive powers/ authority when it was “so long ago.” She gave a respectful, yet silencing, response explaining that is the era that created much of the President’s authority as we understand it today, so no we don’t ignore it because its “old.” I always thought she seemed to truly love and be interested in the Constitution itself and not interested in applying it to get some particular outcome. She loved history which is essential to understanding the limits and scope of the constitution. She’s going to be excellent.
Plus – imagine a Judge who understands and respects the role of the Executive in light of all these idiotic “nationwide injunctions” to everything certain Judges don’t like. I think we could see the end to those soon. The President (even one you hate) DOES have independent authority and powers, and you don’t get to ignore it because you have TDS.
Did the buffoon ask her about Marbury v. Madison?
LOL Good Point.
they choose the dumb ones to ask the most outrageous statements, by design. (‘consider the source’ should they need to walk it back)
Zing!
Hirono makes NO sense
Has she ever?
She’s having a heck of a time right now; as she is obviously –trying to hide her standard snark.
My thoughts exactly! She’s trying to act / talk as though she knows what she’s talking about. She’s all over the place, blah, blah, blah. Ask her what she is talking about and I would bet she couldn’t answer. Someone else wrote her script.
They smoke a lot of Wowie in Maui.
No she doesn’t, come on Hawaii surely you can do better.
BTW, was her intent to insult ACB by stating that she thinks ACB’s judicial philosophy is not the same as RBG’s?
Real life impacts of sighing between every sentence. Hirono needs to just shut up and step down.
Has Sparty Booker asked a Dukakisian question yet, such as:
“Tell me, judge, what would you do if one of your daughters was attacked and impregnated by a Russian spy that looked like Carter Page or felon Roger Stone?”
I will NEVER forgive or forget that the RAT’s ACA “taxed/penalized” me $10,000 per year.
That is my real world consideration.
Thanks for the comments, Treepers.
Haven’t been able to watch any of this inquisition, ?, so I appreciate all of you who did.
??
Mazie were you the Hawaiian Kamala with Sen Daniel Inouye?
I keep getting the impression these people have no idea how effing dumb they are. I can see how dump they are…they should just stop trying to keep proving it.
Hirono…be talking ..just to be talking………total arze
Hirono,’s questions are totally undecipherable.
It’s like being in a maze and trying to find your way out.
What a butt swab she is.
I am not sure where one of her sentences begins and ends or if it is just one long sentence with parentheses, quotes, etc. I just heard one that she seemed to feel particularly proud of that I couldn’t figure out what the point she was trying to make.
Imagine Bloom en thal and Mazie having a private conversation.
OMG! Just had a visual – sad.
