Amy Klobuchar Says Its 'Offensive' for Republicans to Criticize Biden's SCOTUS Pick as 'Far-Left'
Townhall.com ^ | 2/27/22 | Landon Mion

Posted on 02/28/2022 6:29:52 AM PST by Michael.SF.

Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota said Sunday that she finds it "offensive" for Republicans to call President Joe Biden's Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson "far-left."

After "Fox News Sunday" guest host Harris Faulkner pointed out that some Republicans have taken issue with the Supreme Court pick for being "far-left," noting attorney Jonathan Turley saying recently that "this is a political deliverable, a good one for President Biden" because the other potential nominees were not as far-left, Klobuchar said the ideological term is "offensive" to her.

The Minnesota Democrat also explained that Jackson has had more experience as a judge than four of the justices currently sitting on the Supreme Court and would be just the second justice with trial judge experience should she be confirmed to the bench.

That last sentence caught my attention, as Brown has been an appellate court judge for only about eight months. However, when adding in her time as a district Judge the statement is true.

Appellate Court experience of course carries more weight. The average time spent on the Appellate Court, for those justices who did serve at that level, is over ten years.

Of Course, that is not a requirement to be a Justice, as Elena Kagan for one never served as a Judge.

Despite Klobuchar's statement, Brown's experience as a Judge is relatively short, but also filled with terrible decisions that were often overruled.

Amy Klobuchar is offensive. She makes her staff shave her legs and eats salad with a comb.

So be offended, that’s your right, as it is my right to not care that you’re offended.

According to the Media, the left have the right to shut down anyone they deem "offensive".

That policy is a direct threat to a democratic republic, and the entire idea of free speech.

Yes, of course, as par, anything and everything is racist or ‘offensive’ or what-the-phuck ever to Lefties. The Left is beyond predictable, anything new would be phucking appreciated......

How about we just refer to Amy the Klob as “far left.” Then it all makes sense.

Shut down debate.
Clear the playing field.
Arrest any protestors.
Execute any that will not rehab.

ALL are a ‘danger to “Our” Democracy’....................

She’d have more credibility if she didn’t help Schumer with ALL of his cloture votes and if she voted for ANY of Trump’s Supreme Court nominees, who were clearly qualified in intellect and experience.

But now Amy is offended.

Well too bad, Amy! We’re not playing the “scared the Democrats might call us racists and sexists” game anymore.

Only the remaining RINO’s fall for that game.
