You could have cut and pasted and told me it was a transcript and I probably wouldn’t have figured it out for a while.
I have absolutely no problem with the Senate grilling Sotomayor. Once she’s in, she’s in, so asking her lots of questions she won’t give a straight answer to is a more worthwhile exercise than most other things they’d be doing. Declaring August to be National Diverticulitis Awareness Month, probably.
Anyway, it’s traditional. The President picks the craziest fucker he thinks will sneak through, and Congress tries to bore the nominee into saying something that will freak out voters.
“So, Judge Sotomayor, do you consider it a great honor to represent the Hispanic community and pederasts?”
I read the thread title and began to wonder if Jesus Christ could get a seat on the Supreme Court. He did have a period in his past when he hung out with a bad crowd.
According to Bevis & Butthead, they’re Hispandex, okay?
Anyway, she *still * gets my vote (if I had one).
Y’all are missing the point!
Those assholes grilling her are the same assholes who are gonna get caught later on for who knows what?
Fargin’ Dib-Wibblers!
Oughta shoot 'em all!
[crotchety old man] “We didn’t have judges when I was a boah! We just strung 'em up, and let hist’ry sort it out! And we LIKED it!” [/crotchety old man]
I love you little shits! I just come in here to let y’all know I still have half a brain!
No. Enough is enough, and as Popeye once said: “Enough is TOO MUCH!”
I believe he’s talking in probabilities, which right now are running slightly against the Republicans, though I wouldn’t exactly bet the life savings on the Democratic side of the aisle. :rolleyes:
ETA: And it should be noted that the incredible hypocrisy of Sen. Sessions grilling a nominee for things they have said or decided in the past has not gone unnoticed by all.
I would think that just by creating a whip from some cords, driving out the money changers from the temple, and turning over their tables would be enough to declare him an enemy of commerce. A person not qualified to pass judgment on business litigation. Senator R: “Now, Mr. Jesus. Besides having a Latino name; Do you deny that you impersonated a Judge and let that whore off the hook?”
