Let’s talk about the hearings for the Supreme Court nominee, Amy Coney Barrett.

And Away We Go!

So the Amy Coney Barrett started her confirmation hearings yesterday. Not too interesting. Just a lot of people saying that Barrett is awesome. Barrett made a statement, praising Atonin Scalia, Ruth Bader Ginsberg and stating that she’s a textualist. It was a good statement. The dean of law at Notre Dame said she had surpassed during her tenure. Professors who did not believe in ACB’s philosophy said she was awesome.

But Democrats have a different idea. Here’s Pat Leahy, a Democrat from Vermont:

There are a couple of things here:

• He didn’t say it but he thinks that this whole thing is unconstitutional. It’s not.
• He said that she would eliminate healthcare. No evidence of that and there is no case about Obamacare that is going to appear in front of the Supreme Court. Or any other court. Trump wanted the individual mandate gone and it is.
• He talks about Roe vs. Wade. That’s stupid.
• That she will blow out environmental protections, voting rights, LGBTQ rights, workers right, blah, blah, blah. This is fear mongering.
• Finally, it’s about what the people want. This is just stupid. The people wanted a majority of senators. The people wanted President Trump. Trump has a fur year term. All Senators will be in office until 2021. That’s because they were voted in for full terms.

 

What’s ironic about this whole thing, which probably is not ironic, is the Democrats, four years ago, said the Senate should vote for an Obama justice right before an election. Listen:

This is annoying. The Democrats keeps saying that Republicans have no right to do this and this whole thing is unprecedented. But, in fact, this has happened about 29 times before. Of those 29 times, 17 jurists were confirmed. Don’t buy the Democrat lies.

So that the first day. The second day start with Democrats going full out. Barret was asked:

• If she was a racist.
• She was asked if she hated gay people.
• She was asked if she had ever sexually harassed someone.
• Whether or not she would end Roe vs. Wade.
• Whether she would end Obamacare and kill people.
• They talked about “dark money.” weird. Ted Cruz had a mic-drop moment.
• One guy, I think it was Dick Durbin, had so many graphics, he didn’t ask a single question of Barrett.
• Was she in league with Trump on…whatever.

 

I love this one by Maise Hirono of Hawaii, who is an idiot:

OK, using the term “sexual preference” is not anti-LGBTQ. It’s just a term. A term that has been around for decades. A term that many Democrats have used many times in the not too recent past. She is the one who asked ACB if she actually ever sexually assaulted someone. If you look at the video, ACB’s face is just hysterical. One can tell she wonders if these people are nuts.

Finally, I’m not sure I believe in what Hirono thinks. Where are the scientific facts that say one is born gay? I haven’t seen any. So, this is kind of an assumption. And what’s the big deal anyway? You are a man and prefer to be with a woman, good for you. I prefer to be with a woman. Good for me. Bisexuals prefer to be with both men and women. That’s makes getting lucky at a bar really east. Good for them. All three are just fine. Doesn’t matter.

Now, what’s really disturbing about this is, within an hour of question by Hirono, Webster’s dictionary changed the meaning of “sexual preference.”  Now, the definition is:

See what the problem is? I will continue to use “sexual preference” because I was raised that way and I do not see how it is offensive. There is no scientific facts, and it has been researched, that proves what Hirono is claiming. And it ain’t exactly in the realm of the n-word.

OK, back to the confirmation hearing. Last but not least, Sen. John Cornyn really made Barrett look brilliant and it was all peaches and cream after that:

That’s right. All those idiots had to read from scripts for their speeches. All crafted and practiced. This brilliant woman walked in, listened and answered. She was a maestro. She blew all the Democrats out of the water and it looked so easy for her.

• When someone asked her about law, she answered succinctly.
• When someone threw precedence at her, she said she could not judge the judgement of others. Only the law based what’s in front of her at the time.
• When someone brought up an analogy to trip her up, she called it an analogy and refused to answer.
• When she was lectured, she remained silent and attentive.
• When someone tried to trap her, she pointed it out and refuse to answer.
• She answered the most insulting questions with grace.

 

She’s brilliant. She will get confirmed. Democrats have very little ammunition.

 

We’re All Going to Die!!

You know why I think Republicans are better than Democrats? Because I am tired of hearing how I am going to die all the time. I’m going to die because of climate change. I’m going to die because of the ACA being being replaced. We’re going to die because of racism. We’ll die because we can’t have an abortion.

Here’s a video from Grabien. Let me give you some context because it is a video that you’re not going to see in the podcast.

• It starts with a South Park episode where P-Diddy tells Kyle, an 8-year-old, that he needs to vote or he’s going to kill him.
• In between scenes, you have Democrats saying we’re all going to die if we don’t vote for Biden.
• The video ends with Kyle saying he will vote, even though it would be illegal for Kyle to vote because he’s only 8-years-old.

 

Little FYI: This is South Park, there is language. Turn this off now if your 2-year-old is listening. Here it is:

Just a funny video.
