Kennedy on point, as usual. The courts have become nothing less than the route used for end runs around the the Congress. And what’s worse, IMO, the Congress has become complicit in this travesty.

I watched the video and I have stayed away from processed foods for years now if I use ANY oil at all it is olive oil, I had a feeling that the obesity problem had to be from fast foods ect. HOWEVER our young people are not outside the way we used to be WE never wanted to come inside, we were on roller skates bicycles, jump ropes, tether ball, hop scotch, constantly moving the young people today are parked in front of computers gaming, chatting, and NOW school!!! This is SO UNHEALTHY starting out life obese just gets worse with age!!

Agreed...Blackburn provides a great reminder that Rats only support the rights and advancement of some women, not all.

She is absolutely well qualified, although I take the ABA opinions with a grain of salt since they became highly politicized at least since the eighties. As for lawyer histrionics, perhaps we are having a semantic disagreement. By lawyer histrionics, I mean the performances and machinations many lawyers use to intimidate witnesses and manipulate the emotions of jury members. Those happen frequently in trial courts but not at the appellate court where Judge Barrett has presided. There are no witnesses or juries in appellate courts, only lawyers debating each other. I hope that clears my comment for you.

Yes, she is. But, if Schumer has all the dems boycott and deny a quorum, as he claims he will, why are we going through all this. I understand the dems are trying to excite their base and ‘Limpsy’ is allowing it, but why let this go on for nothing.

I am not sure on the quorum rules.

Would be good if someone could explain them.

Kennedy was great and mostly extemporaneous.

Article I, section 5 of the Constitution requires that a quorum (51 senators) be present for the Senate to conduct business. Often, fewer than 51 senators are present on the floor, but the Senate presumes a quorum unless a roll call vote or quorum call suggests otherwise.

Wallace is a fraud. Trey Gowdy challenged him on some legal point that Wallace mis-spoke and called him “Mr. Wallace”.

The leftists have been dumbing down children since the 1980’s

Actually they started right after WW II. I started High School in 1952 and they started dropping Math requirements. Thee certainly were no commies teaching in my state at the time, well at least none so brave that they would reveal their true feelings on the matter. There were still some in public that kept their love of Communism hidden, but none obvious in the schools in rural Oklahoma.

“Immunity post Covid has not been declared definitively yet. I don’t know if it really is unknown”

I also have not seen “definitively” and reports of re infection. If the chance of a reinfection is so minute and remote why in hell should a Nation of 350 MILLION people be shut down?

And knowing exactly which people are in danger and how to protect them I ask the same question.

I lived with a lawyer for 10 years. Lawyers, judges and court cases were part of daily life.

Your dissertation is common knowledge.

Your use of the word histrionics is out in left field.

If Trump gets re-elected (as I pray/hope/think he will), I think Chrissy Wall-ass will be persona non grata. No more interviews from anyone in the Trump administration ... Trump doesn’t forget being stabbed in the back.

I’m getting really tired of everyone on left crying about the “people should get a say” in regard to this vacancy.

The people have a say every 4 years and know damn well what the possibilities are when you elect a president for the next 4 years.

Indeed. The people DID have a say. We elected Trump. What they really mean is THEIR people should have a say, because we don’t register as people in their minds.
