It’s funny how the definition of court packing, according to the libs is now filling a vacant seat but then they are literally calling for more justices to be added when they get in power.

I guess Conspiracy Bro at work just wants to find some reason to rag on ACB, because anytime she comes up he has to say something about how she's obviously a witch, because she just looks like a witch. Which (har-har) is a full step below the inanity of most of what he says.  ;/

Also, how stupid can these people be? This stupid:

ACB needs to use this line at least once during the hearings:

Quote
what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard.
At no point, in your rambling, incoherent question were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought.
Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.
I award you no points and may god have mercy on your soul.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Interesting tangent: Websters dictionary suddenly changed their definition of "preference" to meet yesterday's liberal outrage. Without stuff like the wayback machine, we would never know this was happening.

Holy crap she is good! Calm and collected in all her answers, yet torching the most jackass of her questioners. All with no notes. She must have like a 200 IQ.

And people on Facebook, the TDSers, are going absolutely nuts that she's not using, or taking, notes.

IT JUST SHOWS SHE KNOWS ITS IN THE BAG! SHE'S IN ON THE CONSPIRACY TO PACK THE COURT!

That's my assessment as well. I am a very bright person and I watch her knowing that even though I'm pretty sure I could debate the trained monkeys in the questioner roles with ease, I would be very unlikely to be able to draw up every single case/ruling that she's been doing from memory. And she's been doing it with (apparent) ease. 

Even the things I know, and know I have read, and can call up, I would still want to have notes so I knew I was quoting it correctly or attributing it correctly. That empty notepad really impressed me.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Quoting a democrat icon at the dems?   :rofl:

The dems probably found that most infuriating. Sort of like the nuns I was stuck with in grammar school when I threw their own words back at them.
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

Oh, the Dems are finding EVERYTHING most infuriating.

It's just a huge ball of fury.

I predict there won't be a single Democrat to vote for her, either in committee (if they stay and actually vote and don't try to derail things by walking out to deny a quorum) or in the Senate.

When a Dem nominates someone for the court, they DEMAND that everyone vote on the individual's qualifications (and that goes for all Dem nominees, not just for the courts).

But when a Republican, especially ORANGEMANBAD!!! nominates someone, the vote suddenly isn't about the nominee's qualifications, is about the person who nominated them.

Yet another reason why I hate the left and all of their flower children.

Now they are using whiny law students to show how much ACB sucks and doesn't know the law.  :rofl:

Whenever I need brain surgery, I'm definitely asking for a first year med student to do it.

Blumenthal made a motion to postpone ACB's nomination process "indefinitely."

Oh dear, and here's the smoking gun...

A bus load of Nuns who ACB forced into servitude as her personal teachers over a span of 12 years.... all without her paying them anything, and the whole time while she matriculating shamelessly.

UNFIT! UNFIT!

Also sounds like it's about said and done, welcome ACB to the SCOTUS. Can't see anything stopping it now.

Although they have managed to get Gorsuch and Kavanaugh on the bench...

"Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., later called originalism a "smokescreen" for "activist" judges,"

OK, my *expletive deleted*ing head just popped at that commnent...

The left has, for 50 years, used the court's activism to get things that they couldn't get legislatively. I'm not taking a stance on whether that is inherently good or bad, but the hypocrisy of such a statement is just stunning.

On the other hand, the Republicans have more seats in the Senate than they did in 2018. Also, the made-up objections to ACB are not nearly as good as the made-up objections to the sinister Brett Kavanaugh.

Yep, not happy at all. Calling for protests. Didn't Pelosi drop hints for protests a couple of weeks ago?
