This was political kabuki theater at its transparent worst.
On his new Saturday Show on MSNBC, Jonathan Capehart invited on the liberal candidate Janet Protasiewicz. The clear intent was to signal to voters and donors how she would vote on key issues before the court, notably abortion.
Capehart dutifully played his role in the farce by saying:
"I know you'd never tell us how you'd rule on any particular case, but . . . "
Of course, the "but" was what her appearance was all about.
"I've been very, very careful to share with people what my values are. But my values do not have control over how I would rule or vote in any case. . . . . Obviously, I'm not foreshadowing a way in which I would be voting"
Ri-i-i-ight. Not foreshadowing at all—obviously! Absolutely no way to guess how she'd vote! And just what are those "values" when it comes to abortion?
"When I talk about my values one of my values is that a woman should have a right to choose in regard to her reproductive health care decisions . . . The bottom line is that decision should be yours.

Capehart might as well have had a flashing screen graphic: “Vote/Donate To Protasiewicz! She’ll strike down Wisconsin law restricting abortion!!!”
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
As long as the choice is to abort a pregnancy. Isn't choosing to keep a baby and raise a child a choice? These murderers love to use imprecise language to obfuscate the issue.
Kill the little bastards and throw them in a dumpster. Sounds like a plan.
