Booker Speech

[Mac1958]

Oprah Winfrey? You understand a Supreme Court Justice needs to be trained in the law, don't you dumb ass?

This isn't about qualifications for them.

 

[SweetSue92]

the republicans slobbered over Barrett.

No, they didn't. They didn't take all their time to make her cry about how wonderful it all was

 

[Penelope]

No, they didn't. They didn't take all their time to make her cry about how wonderful it all was

Yes they did, they slobbered all over Barrett. She didn't cry, she wanted the attention.

 

[SweetSue92]

Well you're delusional Penny so I'm sure you think this is true

 

[Penelope]

Well you're delusional Penny so I'm sure you think this is true

I'm in reality according to you that would make most republicans delusional.

 

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

Your almost as bright and informed as most trump party clowns.

And apparently your only talent is photoshopping naughty pictures of people better looking and smarter and way more popular than you are.

Grammar certainly isn't one of your skills.

Did you actually think before you wrote that?

Do you enjoy having people laughing at you?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

I'm curious.

Would he have made the same speech had Trump nominated a Black woman to SCOTUS, such as Janice Rogers Brown?

The world will never know since Trump did not nominate a back person

 

[IamZ]

It was his time to ask any questions he might have, and to say what he wanted to say. Obviously, he knew her record well enough that he didn't have any questions about her suitability for the job. The others on the panel still had their opportunities to question her, so what's all the whining about? Looks like you just want to whine.

Booker legit treated that woman like she just broke chains of republican slave owners. He acted like slavery just ended lol it was embarrassing. He grew up with white ppl, his parents are IBM executives lol he went to Harvard. How is he shocked a black made it to the supreme Court?

You want folks to be hired based on their physical characteristics?

 

[IamZ]

This is Biden first pick, Bush Jr put 3 white men on the Supreme Court.
Maybe if it were Bush Jr first pick or second pick, she would of been on the Supreme Court.

Joe Biden would have filibustered the black pick .. he said he would

Oprah Winfrey? You understand a Supreme Court Justice needs to be trained in the law, don't you dumb ass?

That’s not accurate. The constitution does require a justice be trained in the law.

 

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

Oprah Winfrey? You understand a Supreme Court Justice needs to be trained in the law, don't you dumb ass?

Justices are supposed to uphold the Constitution. There's nothing in the Constitution about being "trained in the law".

 

[Indeependent]

Oprah Winfrey? You understand a Supreme Court Justice needs to be trained in the law, don't you dumb ass?

Not true.

 

[IamZ]

That’s why I don’t like The Barrett pic.. she has like 20 kids what if they’re all political activists for Democrats? She going to side with family or the Constitution. Family first right?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

You want folks to be hired based on their physical characteristics?

I am not the one that started this thread.

 

[Chillicothe]

(That magic D behind her name is going to put her on the bench, not her record. Because the Dems on the panel don't care what her record is. She's female, black, and has a D behind her name.)

Well, in the case of this nominee.....no one needs to worry about her qualifications. She's got 'em. Harvard Law. Clerked at the SCOTUS. Stellar record as a defense advocate and as a trial attorney and trial judge. Highest rating and recommendation by the American Bar Association. Highest recommendation by the organization of American police chiefs. Member of the Federalist Society.
I think all is good there.

Plus, speaking for my poor avatar......we admire here patience and courtesy when being jackassed at by Cruz & Graham. We admire grace under pressure. An she showed it. Bigly.

I repeat, if Joe, in his senility, had nominated Oprah or Whoopi, the hypocrites on the panel would still throw them softballs.

The good poster can repeat it all he wishes.....after all, this gossipboard doesn't charge for posting; however, the above sentiment will remain juvenile and non-sensical no matter how often it is repeated.
But, he is free to be as silly and nonsensical as he wishes. Goget'em, Tiger!

Don’t you have to be smart? How do you know she just wasn’t promoted throughout her life based on skin color? She doesn’t know what woman means or the cut off for abortion .

 

[Chillicothe]

Don’t you have to be smart? How do you know she just wasn’t promoted throughout her life based on skin color?

Well, look at it this way, good poster IamZ.......you are smart. Did you get into Harvard? Undergrad? Law school? Did you clerk for one of the Supremes? Did you have the association of American police chiefs recommend you for any job?

She did. Because she's smart.
You didn't. For some reason.

Don’t you have to be smart? ......... She doesn’t know what woman means or the cut off for abortion .

Well, from my narrow view......she seemed smart enough to sidestep a 'gotcha' question.

Any answer about 'what is a woman'.......would have been parsed ad infinitum, e.g. "do you mean hormonally? do you mean emotionally? do you mean biologically? is a woman a woman if she was born without a uterus? is she a woman after a hysterectomy? is she a woman if born with a penis?

See?

The question was an invitation to slap the tar-baby.....to see how stuck they could get the nominee.

She was smart.
Smart enough to sidestep.
