At the beginning of the confirmation hearing for Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first Black woman nominated to the Supreme Court, Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina promised that Republicans wouldn't turn the whole thing into "a circus."
Spoiler alert: He was lying.
It wasn't long before the clown car doors opened and every flavor of right-wing idiocy came pouring out. The main attack line was openly stoking QAnon conspiracy theories by repeatedly floating false and truly basement-dwelling accusations that Jackson has some special sympathy for child molesters. There was a train wreck of rape apology, complete with calling an alleged attempted rape "teenage dating habits." Graham, auditioning as usual for "Real Housewives," threw not just one, but two storming-out-of-the-room tantrums. And there was the racism, so much endless, painful racism.

I just wonder if Sinema and Manchin were watching this confirmation hearing and could they tell everyone what they think about the voting rights filibuster they joined in on because what the right was doing during this confirmation hearing for the justice was sending missiles over the bow.......
