Micro-aggression on display by Judge Amy with Sen. Harris

I was listening to the radio while driving, just now, and I heard Sen. Harris question Amy.
It was so blatant to me the micro-aggression Amy had for Sen. Harris. It is subtle, but it was there.
I had heard enough exchanges with various people to know this was very different.

Did anyone else hear it?


EDIT: When we get today's clip of it, I will post it.

Amy has clearly let us know where she stands with Sen. Harris, which is alarming.

6. She knows Harris (and Klobuchar) clearly have her number and is resentful as hell.

They point a mirror back at her own duplicity, inadequacies, and make it clear what a pawn she is for the objectives of others.

I think she was given permission to say that. No word, however, on whether she's a tool.

implying it's illegitimate. That's the one that confers birthright citizenship on people like Sen. Harris.

because the Confederate states had not yet rejoined the Union. Same for the 15th. Her reasoning, not mine. By that reasoning, the 13th Amendment is also illegitimate, but she's been careful not to mention that.

13. I thought she was like that with all the women senators.

She was more polite and dare I say deferential to the male senators. Almost as if she had been trained that way. It angered me, as I have so much respect for all the female senators went through to get to where they are. I would normally respect a woman who got to up the Supreme court, bit I do not like the way she got to this point.
