I would like to see this line of questioning. Go through all of the questions she was asked and answered, to preface the question. Then ask her why all of her answers seem to be designed to please the superspreader in cheif.

What a group. Not brilliant, independent thinkers but all are reliable votes to be counted on for right wing policy rulings to be handed down in cases brought before the court that become laws of the landand they serve for life.
What a racket.
is why do her answers have to conform to trumpism? It's not like she is gonna need to prove her loyalty at this point. They have the votes and they're gonna install her. She could make sane statements regarding postponing the election or voter intimidation and even the ACA, and still get on the court and rule as she is told.
I think it would make a great line of questioning. Ask her if she is afraid of pissing off trump, getting a late night tweet, etc.

Guess being obedient to men is embedded in her head from that People of Praise sect she belongs to, and being an originalist, a legal philosophy which harkens back to a time when women had no standing, she has no opinion of her own.
Stepford wives and handmaids certainly shouldn't be on the Supreme Court.
