CRT is a completely fabricated hysteria created by Republicans.
Yup, its purely a wedge issue to rile up the base. Ridiculous as hell
Don't how you guys can subject yourselves to this brain poison. She will be confirmed, why make everything along the way so painful lol
Hawaii has the best Senate delegation.

They are having the complete opposite reaction you are suggesting. This is exactly what they vote for.
Democrat's current strategy of throwing their hands up in the air and calling it fake whenever CRT gets mentioned isn't working. It's not just their base, it's independents and moderates as well. Elections are going to be lost (and already have been, see Virginia) because of this
Is it ridiculous to ask why the Dems don't play by the rules the Reps have laid? I swear when they had this opportunity they approved someone in like 5 seconds. Not to mention Kavanaugh, who when faced with sexual assault allegations just repeatedly yelled "I like beer"
Why can't the Dems just do the same? Say fuck you and jam it through?

Pretty sure they're following the same rules. Kavanaugh and Barrett followed the same procedure, with hearings just like these. Where do you think the "I like beer" quote came from? It's just that Republican senators are more willing to make asses of themselves and ask ridiculous questions and grandstand and whatnot. Which makes sense, considering the Republican electorate responds better to that sort of clown show.
A year from now you're not going to remember this, any more than you remember the Barrett hearings. Probably. Like, this might be crazy enough to be remembered like Kavanaugh, but he was a pretty special case. And what you'll remember won't be Jackson, it'll be Ted Cruz and the others. Jackson has kept her cool completely.
Not ridiculous. You don't know what you don't know.
There were hearings for all three of Trump's picks. Dems, like the Republicans during those hearings, have the capability to vote Judge Jackson onto the Supreme Court without a single R vote, although they have slightly slimmer margins with which to do so. This process will take roughly the same time as the Trump nominees, unless something unforeseen occurs.
There isn't anything different about the process being used here than the one that was used for other recent SC noms.
The Republicans are being very sensitive about "editorial access" it seems ... I guess it's dampening their grandstanding.
Also, strong start by Ossoff.

"kentanji...and let me just say you speak such good english by the way, so articluate...how do you feel about the word, 'whitey'?"
Every big senate hearing I convince myself to start watching it and then like 15 minutes in I want to shoot myself in the face. They're so awful and have so little substance. It's just a back and forth of some asshole senators making some ridiculous overblown claim or soundbyte showcase and then the person the hearing is about spends all their time not actually answering any question directly. It's mind numbing.
Fake is the nicest term though; its full mask off racist that we haven't seen in decades. You call it out and now GOP goes on their "saying its racist is the real racism" pivot. There was that article a few months back saying no one really knows what CRT is with a shining example of a woman calling and complaining to her kids school isn't MLK day off CRT and why are they doing it. Trying to fix America is filled with conscious and subconscious racist fucks isn't something we can fix by midterms, lol. Trump showed you really can't counter leveraging racism in American politics as long as you give the racism plausible deniability. Its how Tucker can basically dance around the 14 word nazi off, but give the duh face and laugh off being racist

She'll get confirmed, but it is sad that the GOP as a whole sitting on that panel have done a great job of painting her as being soft on child sex crimes because they bring up so much inaccurate BULLSHIT, SO FUCKING MUCH.
Individually though they can't really touch her. She's done a great job. So they'll just more broadly beat the character assassination drum.

Every Supreme Court nominee goes through confirmation hearings. Trump's nominees were no different. And there was nothing Dems could do to stop or really slow down confirmation for Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, or Barrett because they didn't control the Senate at the time. Now they do, which is why Jackson will be confirmed. And if she's confirmed by Easter, which is the plan, it'll be the second fastest confirmation ever (faster than Trump's first two). So there's no lack of speed here or something that the GOP did that Dems refuse to do. They're moving along as fast as possible and this is the first time in over a decade where they've had the power to do that.
Hooo boy
The anti-Obama oppo-machine was a trip.
"Terrorist Fist Jab" will live on, forever.
FACT CHECK: Did Michelle Obama Say "White Folks Are What's Wrong with America"?
First Lady Michelle Obama did not say that "white folks are what's wrong with America" during a commencement speech at Tuskegee University.

Literally just months of them throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks
Fox News keeps posting embedded videos of their attempted "Gotcha" moments from this hearing, and it always starts with Ketanji mid head-scratch and confused; when the reality there was literally half a second of her just scratching her head.
Its so blatant and gross.
Its so blatant and gross.
Not a lot of time was spent scrutinizing the judicial record of the second-to-last candidate because they were too busy trying to address the credible sexual abuse accusations that were thrown his way.
Not a lot of time was spent scrutinizing the judicial record of the last candidate because honestly, who even fucking cared at that point? The fact that a nominee was put forward at all, the hypocrisy of the timeframe for the nomination, and the prior confirmation of the sex abuser as a justice already showed that the GOP would stop at nothing to fill the seat regardless of any potential bad spots being addressed. They could have nominated the Burger King to the Supreme Court for all the difference record or qualifications make.
Likewise the "standard" being judged here is equally pointless now and is all being done performatively to continue stoking the Republican hate machine that's fueling their takeover of the country.
Couldn't go into Barret's case history because she effectively had no case history.
LOL

Right-wing media kept claiming the tape existed lmao.
I'm not watching any of this, but why do I read about Republicans so much? Where are the Dems? Are they present at these hearings?
In the case of Amy Coney Barrett, she had basically no casework to delve into for forensic or rhetorical scrutiny. And Kavanaugh had a much more volatile situation he was grilled for.
Damn now Obama will never get electedLOL
