This is a serious question: How many Democrat members of the Senate Judiciary Committee have an IQ that is lower than the thermostat setting in the Senate hearing room? You can start with Mazie Hirono and Sheldon Whitehouse and go from there.
During yesterday’s hearing, you really could not help but wonder if Chuck Schumer simply arrayed his Democrat caucus members from lowest IQ to highest and then selected the 9 at the bottom of the list to sit on this key committee. I know from experience that members of congress are not especially intelligent as a class (though they are incredibly cunning as a class), but what the Democrats put on display on Wednesday was truly an embarrassment to the Senate as an institution.
Sheldon Whitehouse spent his entire 30 minutes of time going through a bizarre conspiracy theory about how “dark money” from the Koch Brothers somehow led directly to Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination. It was a true tour de force in mindless stupidity.

Kamala Harris used almost all of her time to make a campaign speech read from notes prepared by her staff. Because of course she did. Cory Booker went through a series of questions so irrelevant and transparently leading that had Barrett using her “mom patiently dealing with an irrational child” face and voice out of pity.
Geriatric senators Dianne Feinstein and Patrick Leahy and Richard Blumenthal each supplied 30-minute commercials for the pressing need for congressional term limits, and Amy Klobuchar looked like she needed a binder to throw at a staffer every time Judge Barrett embarrassed her with a calm and perfectly reasoned answer to her idiotic inquiries.
Then there was Crazy Mazie Hirono, the junior senator from Hawaii. This execrable, malignant wretch showed up to the hearing with a list of questions that her staff had written for her and that she had obviously not even bothered to read prior to the hearing beginning. Several of the questions referenced cases and decisions Judge Amy Coney Barrett had made in the past, and it was painfully obvious Hirono had no clue what any of them were.
But the moment everyone should view and keep in the back of our minds from Hirono’s 30 minutes was this one:
“[S]ince you became a legal adult, have you ever made unwanted requests for sexual favors or committed any verbal or physical harassment or assault of a sexual nature?” A seemingly random question, designed to be explosive and cause damage to Judge Barrett’s reputation simply by being asked and then endlessly repeated across Twitter and other social media. At least, that is how it is being covered by the news media. But those who have witnessed how the Democrats inevitably try to mount a heinous smear against any Republican Supreme Court nominee might have reacted by filing this moment away as a clue to what the nature of their coming smear of Judge Barrett might look like. Everyone should remember that Brett Kavanaugh was asked a series of loaded questions about his behavior in his youth during his committee hearings as well, but the actual smear job by Christine Blasey Ford was only brought to the public’s attention during the weekend after the hearing had concluded, and he seemed to be on a smooth path to confirmation.
The smearing of Clarence Thomas also followed a similar pattern and timeline.
Can anyone doubt that the same Democrats who paid Ford and several other women to hurl slanderous allegations at Justice Kavanaugh would dig up acquaintances and former co-workers of Judge Barrett to claim she had at some distant point in the past made improper sexual advances towards them? Of course they would do exactly that.
When these completely unnecessary and counterproductive hearings come to a merciful conclusion on Thursday, Judge Barrett and her unassailable character and record will appear to be on a smooth path to confirmation. The Democrats will have failed to lay a glove on her and Mitch McConnell will have either 51 or 52 votes to get the job done.
But then the weekend will come and America will find out then if these depraved and despicable Democrats are willing to mount the same sort of smear on a supremely qualified woman that they mounted against Justice Kavanaugh. If they are, it’s a pretty safe bet that we will be able to look back and see that Crazy Mazie was setting the table for it.
Get ready.
That is all.
It’s a set-up question. They’ve probably got a former student of Barrett’s lined up to say she made an unwarranted sexual advance towards him/her. This is their only chance to delay the hearings.
Maybe it's so they can justify posing this question to every male candidate in the future.
"After all," they will then be able to reply, "We ask this question of every candidate!"
Regards,
And the RINO bitch sisters, Collins and MurCOWski will call for an investigations.
Crazie Hirono is a designated Democrat poo flinger due to her multiple protected class status: Asian/minority, female, cancer survivor, etc. The Dems hope to get a GOP response which they can spin as racist, sexist, whateverist.
Yesterday was the wind up. The pitch comes later today.

“Believe all women.”
At this point, 3 weeks prior to the election...I don’t think I’d go and do some stupid insulting stuff to trigger campaign woes.
It was bad enough to hear the ‘Dark Money’ fruitcake talking like he did, but I’d try to ease this hearing to an ending and just move on.
It just seems like conduct unbecoming of US senators to pull this crap. Why does McConnell allow it?
What low life scum.
Apologies to true low life scum.
Prediction: Thursday, before the vote, expect to see some cockroach the Dims have paid to show up in front of the press and announce that sometime in the past(they can't remember when) ACB proposed sex for ______insert lie here___.
the willing press will clamor for an investigation, the indignation by the Dims will go through the roof, and another imminently dignified individuals name will get dragged through the muck.
We didn't forget what the Dims did to Kavanaugh, and most of the country remembers too
I would have said, “Would you mind if Senator Harris asks me that? I would rather talk to an expert.”
And this time, it will backfire and make them look like idiots.
Save your digs - Mazie is literally too dimwitted to be insulted by them.

“...bizarre conspiracy theory about how “dark money” from the Koch Brothers somehow led directly to Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination...”

They don’t need much of an imagination to come up with this. They don’t need any evidence.
They are already familiary with how domestic terrorism in this country is funded, as well as how a LOT of leftist political action and social justice organizations have their funding laundered in from foreign sources. They just project this same process onto anything they oppose.
Today or tomorrow, but it’s coming, as surely as the sun sets in the west. I hope Graham and the GOP are ready for it.
Why is it always about sex with these deviants?
She says she asks this of everyone appearing before the committee and if that is so, good for her. No separate standard for males and females. If there is some other crap then shame on her.
