Supreme Court Nominee Amy Coney Barrett Confirmation Hearing - Day 1 Day one of confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Nominee Amy Coney Barrett gets underway before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

[1Old Pro]

Sen. Feinstin doesn’t have the wit to keep up with ACB

Not even close. Politicians are generally not too bright.

[Deo volente]

So somebody died and that means Barrett is not qualified for the Supreme Court.

Got it.

[Pravious]

It’s very important to the left that perverts not be treated in any way like perverts.

It’s part of the bizarre, upside-down world they live in.

[Pravious]

Ugh. Hasn’t that old bitch prattled on for more than a half hour yet? This is endless.

[1Old Pro]

If each Senator talks the full 30 minutes allotted, that would total 11 hours. That is so unreasonable.

Of course, 15 minutes is plenty.

[Deo volente]

Scalia was confirmed 98-0.

So by Feinstein’s ‘logic’, identifying Barrett with him should qualify her immediately.

[1Old Pro]

Scalia was confirmed 98-0. So by Feinstein’s ‘logic’, identifying Barrett with him should qualify her immediately.

Did Feinstein vote for Scalia, can't remember if she was in the Senate then.

[Deo volente]

Feinstein was first elected to the Senate in 1992. Scalia was confirmed in 1986.

[1Old Pro]

Feinstein was first elected to the Senate in 1992

I think 12 years is enough, boy do we need term limits.

[thesearethetimes...]

It just SEEMS as if she has been there forever...

[Orlando]

agree. The Republicans should keep it short. Just 3 questions:
Will you protect the U.S. Constitution
Protect the Bill of Rights
Do you love your country
That's it... 30 seconds

[Deo volente]

Chuck Grassley has been in the Senate for 40 years now. He’s the same age as Feinstein, 87.

[1Old Pro]

Yep, I believe in reasonable term limits, including staff.

[Helen]

Amy Coney Barrett has an impenetrable wall of integrity around her. These unethical Democrats are going to be snarling and gnashing teeth that they can’t push their little agenda through that wall. It’s beautiful to watch her brush off Feinstein like you would a bug.

[1Old Pro]

Leahy slurring thru, thankfully the audio is terrible so I don’t mind turning this off.

[Deo volente]

The old man Leahy is up now, speaking from his basement. He’s been in the Senate for 46 years now.

[ObozoMustGo2012]

I turned it off completely. As much as I wanted to watch the confirmation, I get easily bored with the legal mumbo jumbo. I will wait for the highlights to see which Dems made asses of themselves.

[Deo volente]

Barrett is probably thinking, “That poor old man.”

[1Old Pro]

He’s been in the Senate for 46 years now

I believe it, he can barely talk he's so aged.

[1Old Pro]

Barrett is probably thinking, “That poor old man.”

She's probably thinking that no wonder there are so many disputed cases because these senile senators can't write a coherent law.
