I dread the hearings.

[Cyrano]

I can't bring myself to watch the Ketanji Brown Jackson hearings.

I'm sure Tom Cotton dreams of a world in which he owns a huge plantation with countless slaves, and the only rules/laws are those he himself makes.

And I'm also certain that Josh Hawley fantasizes about an "Amusement Park" named "Auschwitz."

These two beasts questioning Judge Jackson is mind-boggling. After WWII, the world said "Never Again." But shits like Cotton and Hawley show that they're well down the road to "Again" and "Again" and "Again."

I'll catch clips of this horror show tonight on TV. I know Judge Jackson will handle herself wonderfully, but I can't watch her being interrogated by maggots from a different moral universe.

[Ninga]

1. Yep.

[ChazII]

2. I will not have access to a television

today. Is there a way to view the hearing from my laptop? Thank you for anyone who can help.

[phylny]

7. There are plenty of

online options. Just do a search for “How to watch Senate confirmation hearing for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson.”

I’m having trouble posting a link but pbs.org is one option.

[ChazII]

8. Thank you! Now I will be able to follow

the hearings. Thank you for telling me how to word the search inquiry. PBS did come to mind but I know that my DU family comes through for their fellow DUers.

[Escurumbele]

11. Right here at DU

3. I will watch some of it.

I often mute the R's questions because they are so inane, but listen to her answers to see how's she's handling it.

[bucolic_frolic]

4. Powerful! /nt

[OLDMDDEM]

5. Well said. nt.

[JohnSJ]

6. Unfortunately I agree. I cannot watch the republican racist, sexist thugs

[Escurumbele]

9. "maggots from a different moral universe."...Best description I have ever seen about these people.

[Rebl2]

10. Watched Grassley

and thought he was decent to her surprisingly.

[GB_RN]

15. Chucklehead May Have Kept It Clean There, But...

His opening remarks were, as the guys at Electoral-vote.com put it, Kavanaugh hearings year five, not Brown Jackson hearings day one.

[Fla Dem]

12. I think they've been advised to tone it down.

We’ll see.

[WinstonSmith4740]

21. Tend to agree...

They may let Hawley be a bomb thrower, but his arguments have been knocked down by the Dems already. She's a smart woman...she'll hand Hawley his ass, and never lose the smile on her face. They've already knocked the "soft on crime/child porn" argument out. He really has nothing, they know it, and she'll just embarress him.

[Hortensis]

31. Yes. Everyone there knows it's not true, and Hawley has the video

he came for showing him protecting children from liberal sexual predators. Could call it a win-win.

[Cyrano]

32. Wingnuts luv to point at libs and shout "PEDOPHILE". Projection?

[GB_RN]

13. As Shakespeare Said...

This is "a tale told by idiots, full of sound and fury. Signifying nothing."

sCruz-ball (R-Batshit Crazy), Tehran Tom Cotton (R-Israel), and Hawley (R-Traitor) are idiots (racists and assholes). Since each one of these jackasses has an ego large enough to think that he will be president in ‘25, they’re playing to the GOPQ’s racist base: Basically full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

[vlyons]

14. Not to worry. She's doing great!

Her responses are intelligent, reasoned, fact based, and thoughtful. Plus she is unafraid, unflustered, and unashamed of her work as a former defense attorney. She has been endorsed by 2 police organizations and sat and found concensis on the Federal Sentencing Board.

She's a real star. If need be, she wil respectfully pulverize Hawley et al with grace and simple facts.

[Evergreen Emerald]

16. She is doing so well.

Very impressive.

[polmaven]

23. exactly RIGHT!!

She is doing very, very well!! I see absoutey NO reason that she will not be approved.

[iluvtennis]

30. Yep, she's a rock star!!

[Traildogbob]

17. I am with you 100 percent

Hawley and Cotton ranting about weak on crime, Lindsay clutching pearls, Blackburn and her racist rants with just out of a sleeping bag hair style, and just anytime having time hear Cruz is sickening.
I would love for her to come back about this country being weak on crime, especially white color crime, or even white crime. Rittenhouse, congressional subpoenas being laughed at, insider trading, illegal charities, Medicare fraud, attempted coups by ex president, lying under oath, voter suppression, real voter fraud (Meadows), actual sexual assault, and minor sex trafficking, coaches allowing team doctors to assault college athletes, police brutality, and their killing of citizens, pretty much every crime GQP do every day. Then just say, I plan to bring the hammer down on crime. Especially white color and white crime. No more weak on crime.

[WinstonSmith4740]

22. Great points.

It's a shame Rick Scott isn't on the committee. I'd love to see him squirm about Medicare fraud questions.

[Traildogbob]

26. Let's not forget

The GQP hammering her about weak on sex crimes. She needs to say, Matty Gaetz, trump, Beer Bong Cavenaugh, Gym Jordon, and all rich people associated with the infamous BFF of trump murdered in his cell before talking will be held completely accountable. And all ICE people that have assaulted immigrants.

[Corgigal]

18. I'm like you.

With so many adults actions occurring in the news, I just don’t want see no talent actors pretend.

I got Aljazeera on.

[gab13by13]

19. Not to worry,

she has the votes. Ignore the GQP circus.

[Ferrets are Cool]

20. Right with you on this. They are disgusting.

Maggots. or Magats. Either works.

[Trailrider1951]

24. I just watched Lindsay questioning Judge Jackson on her religion

What a jerk! I had to turn it off!

[Pepsidog]

25. Me too.

[ancianita]

27. As long as we are sure of the outcome, no need to expose our moral sensibilities to Nazi poison.

As far as I'm concerned, let media curate it just in case we forget the intensity of the danger the sedition caucus brings.

Sidebar: It's the ultimate schizoid mind like Putin's who believes that NATO's inclusion of Germany (back in the days when Gorbachev agreed)means that NATO is Nazified; at the same time, Putin loves the support of Nazi white male supremacists like Cawthorn, Hawley, Flynn and Carlson.

[DownriverDem]

28. I can't watch either

I'll read about it & watch clips, but that's all I can bare to do.

[momta]

29. I'm glad I'm traveling today, so I CAN'T watch.

I'm with you on this, Cyrano. I'm soooooo...... relieved that we have the votes, and so pleased that Biden chose such a dignified, graceful, and wicked smart woman.

[Skittles]

33. she's got this

seriously

stop worrying about it
