Can you imagine what Judge Jackson must be thinking - having to

[NewHendoLib]

answer gotcha, politically motivated (in some cases, QAnon dog whistling) questions from obsolete, ignorant, knuckle dragging, racist assholes?

Her grace and patience is stunning, but not surprising, given her stellar background.

If anyone needed evidence of the immense split in this country - one group trying to drag the country backwards, the other forward - and the lack of true progress with respect to racism - it is all on bold display.

It is impossible to consider the world that the republicans wish to live in. It is beyond depressing.

That even when she gets confirmed, the reality the supremes will still be 6 knuckle dragger assholes to 3 dedicated to serving all and working for a better country is utterly depressing.

1. Her grace and patience is stunning.

No tears from her! Could Barrett have withstood a Democratic attack on her, like Jackson did with Cotton? Doubtful. Looks like a SC Justice to me. And that is great for this country.

[DENVERPOPS]

17. For training, she watched

Hillary being despicably attacked for 10 hours and blowing the accusers/questioners away like it was childs play.

NO WONDER THEY LOATHE WOMEN LIKE THESE TWO IN PARTICULAR..........

[OAITW r.2.0]

18. Indeed....this was the playbook. Smear her with innuendo and see if it sticks.

The answer appears to be, Madame Justice. RBG would be proud.

[DENVERPOPS]

22. Anytime a Republican makes

a statement, I have come to believe it is pre-arranged, and maybe even rehearsed, for purely dramatical purposes so that Fox News can edit it and use it for a soundbite and video to show their other 70 million assholes across this nation.........

This situation is prime. A black woman getting confronted with totally ludicrous and accusing and demeaning questions, by white men.
It probably gives all their extreme, black hating, female loathing, racist men voters a woody..........

[OAITW r.2.0]

23. Tom Cotton's schtick was

rehearsed well in advance. He asked questions that only he was prepared to answer. She didn't rise to the bait. Well done Ms. Jackson!

[BlueIdaho]

2. I'm sure she's figuratively

Rolling her eyes at the dumbass questions these morons are asking. Oh to be a fly on the wall when she gets home tonight…

[Meowmee]

3. She is doing a great job

I also keep thinking this will change nothing as the court is still majority right wing. Imo sc has been not believable for years since they anointed w.

[Diamond_Dog]

4. I cannot imagine

The depressing type of society Republicans think we should all live in. Civil rights for straight white males only, basically.

[dem4decades]

5. When she and her law school friends sit down together with a glass of wine, they must really

let loose on the assholes on the committee.

[brooklynite]

6. You realize she's been questioned by all of the Republicans before?

I doubt it's dwelling on her mind.

[Skittles]

7. she has been dealing with assholes her entire career

she's a pro

[nycbos]

8. She is fantasic.

I read that Doug Jones is one of the people guiding her through the process.

He knows how how big assholes Republican senators are so he probably provided her with helpful insight on how to deal with the bullshit.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

14. I'm sure she knows that already.

[littlemissmartypants]

30. I seriously doubt that she really needs his help. Or any man's for that matter.

Strong black women in my experience rarely need to be "guided through" by anyone. Privileged white men are the most unlikely candidates for understanding what she and other women of her caliber need to be "guided through" but It's sweet that you would think that though.

And yes, she's fantastic. I also found it particularly moving to see her husband weeping. He has to believe that he is exceptionally fortunate to have her as his wife. It's clear that he couldn't contain his pride.

[iemanja]

34. Everyone needs some help

What she is undergoing is not normal. Support always helps.

[Kali]

9. cheer up?

thomas is still in the hospital?

[calimary]

11. Oh be still my heart...

[ShazzieB]

20. Oh, please, please, please, please. 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

[Sucha NastyWoman]

10. When she took that long frustrated pause after one of Cruz's ridiculous questions,

I thought she was gonna lose it. 99% of us would have. So yeah, that grace thing is real with her.

I feel like they are being subtly abusive, or at least disrespectful in a way they can get away with.

[Sparkly]

36. Yes.

Yes yes yes.

[maddiemom]

12. Best handling of the inanity since Hillary!

[panfluteman]

13. I Was Watching a Bit of the Hearings on YouTube

And watching Republican senators ask her all these terrible questions implying that she was soft on child pornography and other sex offenders when hey - we got a white boy sitting on the supreme court right now who is guilty of past sexual assault. The irony and hypocrisy of it all is totally mind blowing!

[fierywoman]

16. Umm -- are you old enough to have followed the Clarence Thomas/Anita Hill questioning? ('91 I think)

She sounds so smart I bet she guessed the bs they'd throw at her, and prepared herself accordingly.

[spanone]

15. This pedophilia bullshit is as sick as it gets. Speaks volumes about the right.

[OAITW r.2.0]

24. Pedophilia seems to be a Republican problem.

Because they give so much lip service in their projection of the problem.

[DENVERPOPS]

26. It is well planned.

Pedophilia is even better and appeals even more to their voters than any of the normal Gays-Guns-God crap they usually use...............

For proof, look no further than the guy who drove a long way, and went into a pizzaria, armed with an assault weapon and trying to go down into the non-existent basement to shoot and kill Hillary who was running a child sex trafficking organization located there.

Talk about mind control.........

The pedophilia tactic is just a psy-ops technique they know works every time on their moronic crowd of voters across America........

[BigmanPigman]

19. I have tried to watch countless tiimes today and I can't

take it more than a few minutes. The GQP assholes make me want to kick my TV and I feel my stress building just like whenever I hear the fucking moron opening his tiny mouth.

[Martin68]

21. I hate to break it to you - Judge Jackson has been facing this kind of discrimination all her life.

She got where she is by dealing with it as a mature adult who has demonstrated the highest levels of competence in her field. I can't begin to imagine what she is thinking because I have never had to deal with the level of bias and hate that she has had to deal with all her life. I have nothing but respect and love for her courageous stand against bigotry and ignorance.

[GB_RN]

25. Watching Her Pause And Breathe...

She must be thinking, "Jesus H. Christ, how many ways can they ask the SAME, dumbass fucking question?" and "WHY is this asshole here?" and "Stay in your seat, keep calm. Don't jump up and strangle the motherfucker. Stay in your seat, keep calm..."

😂

[AverageOldGuy]

27. What a contrast . . .

Judge Jackson sits there, takes the ration of shit dumped on her by the Republicans, and calmly answers each question.

Kavanaugh sat there, scowled, bitched, moaned, drooled, screwed up his face . . .

Just saying.

[Samrob]

31. And lied!

[lame54]

33. And lied

[Sparkly]

35. Exactly!!

That's the contrast I can't get out of my mind.

[L. Coyote]

28. They seem to be making campaign commercial soundbites and trying to get peopleto not watch.

Wouldn't want people to stay tuned and realize women of color are smarter than men of the Republican persuasion.

[GoCubsGo]

29. I think we all have a pretty good idea what she must thinking.

What I can't imagine is how she has been biting her tongue the whole time. I couldn't sit through that kind of shit without laying into those assholes. I have nothing but respect for her. I could never be that civil toward someone who treated me as uncivilly as they've been treating her.

[lame54]

32. Two more days two more days
