HIRONO!! Asks if Jackson has ever been accused of sexual assault. Then asks if she's ever settle a sexual assault case.

No to BOTH.

NOT ALL JUDGES THAT HAWLEY SUPPORTS CAN SAY THAT, CAN THEY????

Hirono now going through all the Republican appointed judges who have sentenced child porn defendants to below guideline punishments.

This is part where stone throwing Republicans in glass house cry

Not gonna lie: My enjoyment watching Hirono go in on Hawley might mean I'm soft on violence.

Hirono is the kind of person you don't want sitting next to you at the poker table. Because after a big bluff like Hawley you want the next person to "Fold" and Hirono is all like "Raise."

Also, Hirono asked almost identical questions to ACB. She just didn't do the first ten minutes embarrassing Hawley last hearing.

Anyway, people always sleep on Hirono in these hearings, but she's a lawyer with a Georgetown Law degree and she knows her stuff.

9. Truth has really sharp teeth when it bites you in the ass.

Excellent job Senator Hirono.

[MuseRider]

11. I missed this but will see it later.

I have always thought she was just really special.

I bet she kicked ass and Hawley was too stupid to know how badly she treated him.

14. I jut watched it live, she was great. Thanks for posting.

Hawley and Cotton and Lee and CRUZ are big FUCKING ASSHOLES.

[BumRushDaShow]

15. She has always fascinated me

She speaks softly and evenly but wields a HUGE stick!!!!

[sarcasmo]

16. Did they ask if Judge Jackson liked beer?

[Pepsidog]

17. Sad, trifling shit that only base republicans will eat up. That somehow Judge Brown is soft on

child porn based on below guidelines sentencing in a particular case means absolutely nothing. After having throughly humiliated democrats with SCOTUS picks and abnormal political maneuvering republicans cannot
muster enough class and dignity to welcome this distinguished and graceful judge whose qualifications are abundant and obvious. The childish culture war against us “Libs” never stops. They relish the name calling and smears and think it’s payback for the way Kavenaugh was treated. And to top it off, the party is headed by a proven sexual predator who no doubt had lust in his heart when his pretty baby teen daughter sat in his lap. My Lord, is there no shame left in these political monsters?

[malaise]

18. She finished him off after Dick Durbin

Most excellent

[mahina]

19. That's our Mazie

♥️🌸🤙🏼🤙🏼

[canetoad]

20. Hawley is a dick

That is all.

[NoMoreRepugs]

22. Possibly a more accurate description is 'a prick with ears?'

[SergeStorms]

23. This isn't about being "soft on crime".

This is about her being a Black Woman and Biden's audacity to nominate her as a Supreme Court Judge.

Everything else is just political and racial theater.

Is anyone actually surprised republicans are acting this way? No one should be, because as they've demonstrated time and again this is who the are. They're regressive, misogynistic, racially biased hypocrites who wrap themselves in their flag and beat everyone over the head with their bibles.

25. I feel dirty after watching clips of yesterday's hearing

Certain Republican senators have sullied the hearing to the likes of a bar-room tag-harassment of a selected victim.

[Paladin]

26. Suck on THAT, Hawley. Raise a clenched fist and see if it helps you, this time. (nt)
