And if she gets them correct, denounce her as an elitist. You know, because Amy Coney Barrett couldn't do it. We don't want our Supreme Court Justices to be "know it alls"!!

she is enjoying making fools out of these Repubs. She is so much smarter than all of them put together and she manages to make them eat crow every time.. And make it obvious all they are doing is showboating and displaying how stupid they are.

but a bigger part is sheer jealousy to go with the racism. They don't think she's intellectually superior to them even though it's as obvious as the nose on their faces that she is. I haven't watched one minute of it because it just spikes my anxiety and blood pressure. They'll get their pound of flesh and once again show people how small and utterly worthless they are.

But this is a marathon, not a sprint and this woman will rise above the pettiness, vitriol and BS to serve and serve well on the Supreme Court. Glad she's persevering and doing what's best for her country. Other lesser individuals would say screw this and not want to swim in the shark infested waters like she is doing. They're just making a strong, brilliant woman even stronger IMO.

He was told, plainly, that he needed to fight back against Ford's charges because it was going sideways.

His emotional outburst made Senators so uncomfortable they just shoved it through.

It was manipulative.
