mother and she said it was ridiculous. I assumed she meant the way Hill was attacked was bullshit, but no! By that time she was brainwashed by right-wing propaganda. She used to be normal.

I was working as a service person and would be in people's homes watching the hearings. They would say stuff like "she's just jealous he didn't marry her" and other stupid statements completely disconnected from what she was trying to say. Some people just wanted a black justice no matter how bad of a sleazeball he is. Of course, he set up the path for other sleazeballs like Brett Kavanaugh.

someone defending their spouse (even if she's a little off). But what she's done almost completely out in the open is way too political for someone who's husband is so high up in the government structure. IDK, if my spouse was that vocal on my behalf, I think I'd try to encourage her to find other more productive hobbies that benefit real people.

I'd love to see what exchanges she was making with the executive branch over TFG's administration. All I see is conflict of interest. Not that any SC Judge would be subjected to ethics rules. That's the problem with our system. Ethics, at least on face value, never apply to them because there's no body higher to enforce them; rules apply to everyone else but them.
