Unflappable: Amy Coney Barrett Sees Through Kamala Harris' Trap, Won't Take the Bait

They aren’t...beer is.

Wow! You can say a lot with a few periods. She better duck if you get ahold of a semicolon! :)

[pnut22]

Mama taught me that some things are best left to the imagination.

Cameltoe really is a stupid, evil, arrogant bitch.

[caseinpoint]

Harris’ shtick is to take a nuanced issue, frame it as a yes-or-no question and, when the witness equivocates, says she will take it as whatever is most damaging to the witness. It is disingenuous at best and outright dishonest at worst.

[fini]

She is superb. She is sharper than a razor blade and harder than a tungsten drill bit.

I am not certain how it would be like being married to her. One one hand, I wouldn't have to worry about "feelings" being the major element of a disagreement. On the other hand, her self discipline would not allow much slovenly conduct on my part.

[1FreeAmerican]

She slapped Harris around, but she kicked Durbin in the balls!

She got her start working on Willie Brown’s staff.

[OKSooner]

I saw what you just now did right there.

These are very good examples, but Dan Bongino described a great one I don't see included here, and I think it is more profound than those listed. (Most surprisingly they devoted an article to it in the Washington Post. Very puzzling.)

Here is the money shot of the entire hearing so far:

KLOBUCHAR: Is Roe a super-precedent?

BARRETT: How would you define “super-precedent”?

KLOBUCHAR: I actually might have thought someday I’d be sitting in that chair. I’m not. I’m up here. So I’m asking you.

BARRETT: Okay, well, people use super-precedent differently.

KLOBUCHAR: Okay.

BARRETT: The way that it’s used in the scholarship and the way that I was using it in the article that you’re reading from was to define cases that are so well-settled that no political actors and no people seriously push for their overruling. And I’m answering a lot of questions about Roe, which I think indicates that Roe doesn’t fall in that category. And scholars across the spectrum say that doesn’t mean that Roe should be overruled. But descriptively, it does mean that it’s not a case that everyone has accepted and doesn’t call for its overruling. I don’t —

KLOBUCHAR: So here’s what’s interesting to me: You said that Brown [v. Board of Education] is ... is a super-precedent. That’s something the Supreme Court has not even said, but you have said that. So if you say that, why won’t you say that about Roe v. Wade — a case that the court’s controlling opinion, in that Planned Parenthood v. Casey case, has described as a super-precedent? That’s what I’m trying to figure out.

BARRETT: Well, senator, I can just give you the same answer that I just did. I’m using a term in that article that is from the scholarly literature. It’s actually one that was developed by scholars who are, you know, certainly not conservative scholars — who take a more progressive approach to the Constitution. And again, you know, as Richard Fallon from Harvard said, Roe is not a super-precedent because calls for its overruling have never ceased. But that doesn’t mean that Roe should be overruled; it just means that it doesn’t fall on the small handful of cases like Marbury v. Madison and Brown v. the Board that no one questions anymore.

As Bongino described it, it was brilliant. Indicates Barrett holds a 40 IQ points or greater advantage over her questioners in general, and Klobuchar in particular.

Klobuchar was trying to bait her into saying something about abortion, and she used the term "super precedent", and...Barrett asked her to define her terms, something Conservatives too often fail to do with Leftists.

Once Barrett made Klobuchar agree to the definition of "Super Precedent" by defining it and getting the dimwit Klobuchar to commit to accept the same definition, it was like baiting a trap and just waiting for Klobuchar to innocently walk right into it.

Klobuchar did just that.

Klobuchar tried to take that definition and force Barrett to admit that, like Brown [v. Board of Education], Roe v. Wade was a "Super Precedent" and couldn't be touched.

Barrett then grabbed the logical club out of Klobuchar's hands (that she had intended to bludgeon Barrett with) and clocked Klobuchar over the head with it by stating that, if it were actually a "Super Precedent" they wouldn't be talking about it.

Heh, the simple fact that they were talking about it proved beyond all question that...it was NOT a "Super Precedent" case and could be reviewed.

She just proved that it was eligible to be overturned. And she never even had to come out and say it. Hahaha...no video for Leftist commercials with her saying "I will consider overturning Roe v. Wade."

She just took that wet, stinking leftist fish, and dropped it on the table in front of her. A "Fish Drop" moment if there ever was one.

Now...I'll be the first to say, I don't know if she baited that trap, or if she simply let the flow of the discussion take it to that point, but...either way...

THAT was impressive.

The dems these last two days are a study in trap questions, gotcha questions, logical leaps, half truths, omissions, slanders, slimes, inferences, propagandas and low-IQ revelations.

[rlmorel]

And women are proof that He wanted to torture us!!!

(ducks!)

[DUMBGRUNT]

“Don’t tell me women aren’t God’s greatest creation.”

And ACB like most wins all the domestic questions.

You get used to it over time.

[bjc]

The differences in Amy Cony Barrett’s and Kamala Harris’s intellects, style and personas are mind boggling.

[bertmerc1]

The Democrats will wait till Friday to bring out the big surprise witness and Feinstein will be the presenter.

[rlmorel]

Heh, I get to make all the decisions around the house.

I decide what countries we should intervene in with what weapons, how much of the border wall should be built and how soon, whether there should be tax cuts for every American, and so on.

My wife decides where we invest, how much money we keep in the bank, how much we can spend individually, when we are going to get the house re-carpeted, what medical plan we have, how many cars we will own, where we go on vacation...what we do on vacation...

See, I get to make all the IMPORTANT choices..,:)

Ok I laughed.

I am highly impressed! God Bless ACB🙏❣
