Shouldn't the confirmation hearings be for ACB's husband?

[Nevilledog]

From what little I've managed to read before gagging, ACB's fringe religion makes her subservient to her husband. Seems like he should be questioned.

This is only sorta tongue-in-cheek......

1. Agree!!

[no_hypocrisy]

2. Nope. She has to ask the Handmaiden/Aunt Lydia for the correct answer.

3. Or his "head"....

or his "head's" head?

Plus, she swore a vow to put her little cult before all else. That means her vow to that supersedes any loyalty she might have to the USA.

4. Simple question at the hearings: "Can you enumerate all the oaths that you may...

....have taken in your life to any group or groups other than the United States or our constitution?" ....Please elaborate".

6. +1000

[MaryMagdaline]

10. Good question

[Andy823]

5. Yes the leader or leaders

of the group have the final say on everything, period!

I think even right wing religions could have a problem with her connection to this group.

7. Yeah...

I think the handmaid and the husband's head are needed for approval, but I am not sure if there is a Head's Head who also gets to make SCOTUS decisions for her in this case.

It might be heads all the way down for a cult like that.

8. Oh, and lest we forget she was on the team

arguing for another illegitimate president. So, she's an old hand at keeping democracy from happening.

11. I consider...

I consider fundamentalism by its very nature, and in any form, to be a threat to democracy, so yeah.

Democracy provides a wide umbrella that fundamentalist ideologies and religions can exist and function under, but they, in turn, are often antithetical and even hostile towards the basic tenets of the democracy that tolerates them.

Fundamentalism and oligarchy, (wealthy elites and corporations) are, to me, the two major threats to our experiment. Both are poised to subvert it if and when it is possible.

9. Nah. Right-wing women in power do it the Phyllis Schlafly way. They tell other women how to live.

Then they, themselves, do as they please.
