I wasn’t expecting a confession. Your penance is 200 hours as a public defender.
I've listened to or watched most of it. All they've got is lurid innuendo. Nothing of substance. Kennedy and Sasse were the only two I saw who attempted a serious interrogation.
Eh. I think Bell Atlantic v Twombly was 7-2. That case and it’s progeny had a huge impact on federal litigation. I think I argued that pleading standard in almost every federal case I defended. It made no news. On the other hand the gay marriage case was a huge newsworthy issue, but it’s hardly used.
Some of you are as big of idiots as the Republican senators on the committee. I look forward to the future ads using Cruz's behavior during these hearings. It brings to mind Al Franken's quote about Cruz. "Here's the thing you have to understand about Ted Cruz. I like Ted Cruz more than most of my other colleagues like Ted Cruz. And I hate Ted Cruz."
I literally laughed out loud at that. And you can just hear his delivery. Fantastic
God your side focuses on the dumbest stuff these days.
Why is she afraid to define what a woman is? The answer is easy. The idiotic democrats have to be very careful what they say, they might offend the over 100 genders. That she is concerned about it speaks volumes.
I love that Franken quote. There's another one about Ted Cruz being "the most miserable son of a bitch in the Senate" or some such.
Lindsey Graham quipped that if you murdered Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and your trial happened in the Senate, you'd be acquitted.
She could have said, “I know it (a woman, in this case) when I see it.”
Her back and forth with Kennedy on court packing was comical and I think they both were having fun with it by the end.
I’m still waiting for somebody to ask her if she has ever twerked. . We need to get the hearing to the Kavanaugh level.
What was Ted Cruz doing right after his questioning? Checking his own twitter mentions to see how his syncophants enjoyed it.
Even his mentor Alan Dershowitz thinks Cruz was embarrassing

Even his mentor Alan Dershowitz thinks Cruz was embarrassing
Alan Dershowitz said Ted Cruz's line of questioning during Ketanji Brown Jackson's SCOTUS hearing was 'absurd'
Dershowitz had previously praised Cruz — whom he taught at Harvard — saying he'd made "brilliant arguments."

I do wish she would have gave a plan answer to that question, but going back and watching more of it, she was in a no-win situation. Any answer beyond what she gave likely would have derailed the hearings. Not because of anything she said or did, but because the GOP senators would have split hairs and parsed every word she said and would have follow ups to follow ups.
Yes, she can't define what a woman is, yet she has used the term "woman" frequently in both the confirmation hearings and in her legal opinions. If you do not know how to define what a woman is, how can you use the term so often in an official capacity?
Physicists cannot define The term space and yet I can send you this message using wireless technology.
No. She should have said, “I am a woman, anybody can see that and I don’t need to explain it further”. The question was a bad one, I’d expect a smart lawyer to handle it with ease. Except Jackson didn’t because she was taken by the woke aspects of sex. That is a disqualification for me.
Elected Repub officials often cite integrity yet fail to demonstrate that principle.
I am assuming that none of those Republicans you mention has ever been nominated for SCOTUS
She certainly can say what a woman is. She chose not to because of stupid woke politics. She shouldn’t be a SCOTUS justice for that reason alone. Justices must be better than politics.
Shorter COH: She refused to wallow in the pigsty politics because she was dressed inappropriately. Justices must know how to dress.
Her disqualification for you was being nominated by Biden.
Why would you think that given Biden’s exemplary record of picking women of color for important positions?
Obviously for show because everyone knows the outcome before it starts.
I was the first one in this thread to criticize her for not defining woman. I don’t suffer from partisan spanx of the brain.
That is true but that has nothing to do with it. It was obvious that Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, and Barrett were highly qualified but don't think the Democrats voted for them.
You know why she didn't give a definition and it had nothing to do with nitpicking.
Come on man!!!!! Appointees made by republicans are subjected to different rules of decency. Maybe @Circlejoe can explain why. He's such a smart man/woman/it or whatever. He has a group "we" that he can consult.
Who won the "What Reason Will COH Invent To Oppose The Nominee Pool?" I had CRT, which I felt was a strong contender going in.
Really pushed a button with you, Randy. I'm not sure why you react so strongly to a smart, qualified, black, female nominee. It's a wonder!
But you forgot who started the Putin's pronouns thread. Gotta stay sharp.
I was okay with Gorsuch. He didn't strike me as an ideologue or blatantly right wing.
Kavanaugh, no matter how poorly he might have been treated, showed his ass. I also felt like he was nominated as part of a deal with Kennedy. What I've been able to gather from his opinions tells me he's a lightweight.
I wouldn't have been able to support Barrett, no matter her qualifications. She was obviously nominated to be the woman who would strike the death nell for Roe. Her nomination was also a complete reversal of the "McConnell Rule".
