    1. May we be protected from any S .C. J .who cannot distinguish between a
      Man or Woman
      so presumably assumes every witness has the same problem with all the consequences that has for witness testimony in many even the most

    3. @Massudd decat Nice grammar. Show’s how tuned into things you are. She has more qualifications than the current Justices. Her judicial career spans longer than 4 of the justices COMBINED.

  6. Lindsey Graham was so mad, he had to find a reason to lie not to be in chambers 🤭… I LOVE IT…..That he definitely showed how disgruntled, and upset about it ALL he is. Don’t he know we’re watching how pissed off he is, and it’s making us laugh even MORE.

  7. We are so grateful for this young lady that is more then qualified to do the right things for our country she is going to do a great job and our nation will benefit

    1. How do you figure that!?!? – She blatantly refused to answer the questions Americans deserved her answers too before gaining a LIFETIME position in the SCOTUS!
