If Senator Harris Wants to Play the 1864 Game...

[cotton1706]

Chief Justice Roger Taney died on October 12, 1864.

Lincoln nominated a successor on December 6th.

The Senate confirmed on December 6th.

Same Day.

So let's skip the hearings and have a vote, Senator Harris.

Also keep in mind that presidents, senators and congressmen were sworn in in March then. So the Senate at the time would have confirmed anyway.

Gee, I wonder if the democrats and republicans had any other disagreements going on back then.....

Stop with the “little history lesson.”

HARRIS response to everything in the debate: FEAR, FEAR, FEAR — LIES LIES LIES -— then more FEAR — talked around the question asked — and used rapid eye blinking to deflect the truth.

[Mr. K]

This was good info- what’s wrong with it?

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

I think she is saying she would like Chief Justice Taney back. That could be accommodated.

Just love when the idiots who dont know history are teaching us about it

Those that don't know history are doomed to repeat it

First as a farce

Then as a tragedy.

I was just mocking Harris when she said the same thing to Pence.

The info is accurate and important.

Mr.K (You): "This was good info- what’s wrong with it?"

You're not current on the debate, Senator Harris is the one who used this “little history lesson” to preface her Lincoln example. Proper background demonstrates her 'history lesson' demonstrates nothing in their favor!

Really? You mis-paraphrase Karl Marx? You use their leading light against them? Good show!

I ignored anything she said that was canned like her 1864 line. There was an easy tell, she laughed. She even laughed when she gave "condolences" for Kayla.

Let’s go all the way back to the garden of Eden. Kommiela is the logical progression of the original sin.

[JohnBovenmyer]

Should point out that that departed justice had been even more consequential than RBG. Taney was the Chief Justice who wrote Dred Scott. Which we were then undergoing a Civil War to attempt overturning.

[spokeshave]

Ok...thanks...mock is good

Not sure what books you’re reading but that quote is attributed to philosopher George Santayana.

[Cen-Tejas]

Excellent “history lesson”. You saved me from spending time looking it up. Thanks.
