GOP senator praises Barrett's 'unique' experience of having Black children



By Oliver Willis -October 13, 2020 5:14 PM

But Amy Coney Barrett has a background of dismissing racial discrimination.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) on Tuesday described Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett's role as the mother of Black children as existing in a "unique context" and asked how it would affect her rulings.

Barrett is the mother of two children who were born in Haiti.

"You and your husband are the parents of a multiracial family," Hawley said. "Can you give us some sense just in your personal experience what that has been like for you, what that means to you, what experience you bring to the bench because of your experience as a parent in this unique context?"

Barrett told Hawley that her personal experiences "don't dictate how I decide cases" and asserted that "in applying the law and deciding cases, don't let those experiences dictate the outcome."

HAWLEY: You'll follow the law wherever the law leads?

Hey Hawley, when evidence was presented to remove your traitor buddy and you were given the opportunity to have followed the Rule of Law ... what did you do, you voted to keep a fucking bunch of criminals in the white house............ .

And as for trying to gaslight the public with some more on this Federalist Society walking talking point, that is says nothing but " I don't recall", she's still a bigot and she doesn't follow the law......here is prime example on full display

Do they have interesting habits?
Can you compare or contrast them to say...regular people like us?
I’m sure my constituents want to know if it’s like on TV. Like Different Strokes?

... your otherwise atrocious religious, political, and juris prudence behavior and conduct ?

Thus making you appear sweet, thoughtful, and kind.

What a fucking farce..... Reality TV juris confirmation at the ReThug controlled US Senate. Bending perception management to influence public impressions at this confirmation hearing for lifetime appointment to the Federal Bench of the top court of the lands.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg weeps,.. what these proud Fascist have done.
