[littlemissmartypants]

BREAKING: An alumni group from Rhodes college has called on the school to REMOVE Amy Coney Barrett from their hall of fame for breaking the schools honor code by lying whether she’d overturn Roe v Wade to get a seat on Supreme Court. BOOT HER!

1. She should be removed from the SC for lying.

[MontanaMama]

2. While I think Coat-hanger Barrett should

be impeached from the court for being a liar…I’ll take any public shaming/consequences we can get. She’s a horrific person. I am glad to know about this.

[blm]

3. Same.

[PortTack]

4. Nailed it!!

[Polybius]

44. She didn't lie

In fact she refused to say Roe was precedent.

5. Well, see- there apparently is value in a college education

besides just getting better paying jobs. These alums have clearly learned more about ethics and responsibility than your average high-school-only graduate or GED holder (Not that there aren't many of tem with ethics also, but...)

10. I'd prefer someone with a HS diploma over some Ivy League hack any day.

Biggest scam in higher education.

[soldierant]

21. Can't argue with that.

But then there's Boebert.

[ShazzieB]

24. Does Boebert really count, though?

She doesn't actually have a high school education. Just a GED, that it took her 4 tries to get.

[soldierant]

45. IT was on her account that I included GED holder in my initial comment.

For several years, I worked as an adminitrator of the GED testing inrural Colorado. (Not where Boebert lives - she's on the Western slope and I was south central, in the San Luis Valley.) GED holders are very much like high school graduates. What they get out of the experience depends upon what they put into it. For some, the best they can do is parrot back and they remain "poorly educated." Others (many of whom failed to graduate through no fault of their own - poverty and other family issues can really set people back, and that may be even more true in rural areas than in urban areas. People are different, but as a qualification do regard a GED as equivalent to a high school diploma. But what that is worth depends on a slough of things which never appear in a transcript or a CV.

41. Incredible chart.

Amazing how much extra it takes for a Black woman to be considered worthy.

I need this chart on a T-shirt.

[soldierant]

42. Oh, yes. I have this chart saved also.

I find it extremely telling - and not just about Bennett.

6. The Handmaid's Fail

[calimary]

9. Good one!

"The Handmaid's Fail"!

[ShazzieB]

25. LOL!

[paleotn]

7. Boot her....

for being a gawd bothering malcontent.

[Cha]

8. YES! She voted to take Away

Women's Rights!

[calimary]

11. Except for her own, of course. And what does she care, anyway?

She's got a VERY prestigious LIFETIME job.

We should fix that - NO MORE lifetime ANYTHING, girlfriend.

[BOSSHOG]

13. I think it would be apprpriate for President Biden

To ask any member of the Supreme Court who lied during their confirmation hearing to resign. Or to explain why they won’t. Let’s start the conversation. Let’s talk integrity. Let’s talk about Justice. Let’s have Mitch McConnell defend his selections in the public arena.

[calimary]

14. Oh MAN! YES YES YES YES YES!!!

Put these schmucks (and Amy the schmuckette) ON THE RECORD.

[MyOwnPeace]

18. "SCHMUCKETTE?"

Oh, Cali, you're on a roll!!!!

[calimary]

22. Oh yeah? Well, how 'bout this?

I've often referred to myself as "the insufferable bloviating schmuckette". I just realized its initials are I. B. S. Which is also true!

[MyOwnPeace]

29. With THAT claim.......

you could qualify as a Republican Senatorial candidate!

[orleans]

26. great idea! nt

[homegirl]

32. BRILLIANT!

Put them in the hot seat and get answers!

[orthoclad]

39. Good idea!

Let the people we elected to govern do their job. They know much more than I do about how the corridors of power work.

[calimary]

20. Those three "justices" remind me of one of my dad's favorite one-liners.

"IGMFU." It's pronounced "IGGum-FOO". The letters stand for "I Got Mine, F-U."

This is the IGMFU conservative majority on the Supreme Court.

How nice for them that they've got this cushy lifetime job.

Well, maybe it's high time we changed that.

[mrsadm]

12. Aha, I hope this is possible

[EnergizedLib]

15. Well

I applaud the sentiment of Rhodes College, and no disrespect, but I can think of something else I’d rather see her booted from even more.

[Layzeebeaver]

16. 10yr max for SC appointments.

Just an idea.

[Karma13612]

17. Well done! Eom

[Upthevibe]

19. littlemissmartypants............

Thanks for the post.

Obviously, I completely support their cause and hope they're able to do so.

[littlemissmartypants]

28. Thank you! ❤

[panfluteman]

23. HECK - I'm an Alumnus of Southwestern at Memphis - Which is Now Called Rhodes College!

[NJCher]

27. good

send 'em an email showing your support for their action.

[IronLionZion]

30. GOP enjoyed telling us she's a Rhodes scholar

[keithbvadu2]

31. Wasn't Jethro Bodine also a Rhodes scholar?

Wasn't Jethro Bodine also a Rhodes scholar?

Acc to Uncle Jed.

[IronLionZion]

35. He went to school at Oxford

Mississippi

[keithbvadu2]

36. I got it wrong. Dang!

I got it wrong. Dang!

I ain't no Ben Carson brain sturgeon.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

37. She is a piece of garbage

I would not want her to be part of my university

[BlueJac]

38. Fantastic

[orthoclad]

40. Yes! Pressure Amy Corona Barrett in any way possible

And all of the other Reich caucus judges.

This is a start, from Rhodes College.

We can't just wring hands and say there's nothing to do. Why do Rethugs always get their way whether they are in power or not? Because they ALWAYS play hardball.

Why do we always self-censor? Let the other side say "no". Then fight them in the court of the public. Use their opposition against them. Don't accept losses and give up. Just look at how the Reich wing is still fighting 2020.

(I stopped saying "conservative" some time ago. Now even "right wing" seems too moderate to describe that side. Now I tend to say "Reich wing". Just look at Orban and the CPACs.)
(Amy's victory party was a super-spreader event. How many people died from her chain of transmission?)

[Polybius]

43. She didn't lie, nor did she even imply that she wouldn't overturn Roe

Unlike the others, she refused to even say it was precedent. They need to re-watch the hearings again.
