    Anyone following the hearings?

    Teh Ted was (ahem) ruthless today.

    Cotton got her to say that drug trafficking is a "victimless crime."

    Teh Ted also said that the White House is not giving the same information about the nominee to Democrats and Republicans.

    Teh Dick said that the GOP is coming close to crossing the line of civility.

    ETA: No one asked about her yearbook or her calendar in college, not even "Boofementhal."

    Ted is correct. IIRC, the Whitehouse is witholding 28,000 pages of documents.

      For any Supreme Court judge, what is the requirement of documents to give from the White House?

      (On another note - 28,000 pages!!!!! 😲 My life file would be boring by comparison!! LOL)

        Not sure that there really is any such "requirement."

        But as a matter of honesty and (cough) ethics, you'd think that all the documents would be available to all members of the committee.

              His column is more an indictment of Hawley's objections (and Cruz's, I assume).

              Here's what he thinks of the nominee, in more detail:

                Today it's a good day for SCOTUS nominees to weep.

                Spartacus broke my "fawn-o-meter."

                Durbin eats into Cruz's time and refuses to allow the nominee to answer a question.

                  Of course George, it would be bizarre to suggest that Jackson “lost” McCarthy. I was referring to Hawley’s disingenuous Hail Mary.

                    Fawning about her color

                    He had no interest who or what was inside that color

                    He was joyous about the color

                      @jon-nyc right.

                      McCarthy's subsequent objections. are more substantive.

                      Nevertheless, your statement is "When you've lost McCarthy." It was Hawley who lost McCarthy, not Jackson.

                        Before going on about child pornography, here's Hawley doing the elbow with Matt Gaetz

                        685b0ced-13ac-4cab-a830-77b8bced20fd-image.png

                        Not that there's anything ironic about that, of course.

                        I was only joking

                          @Doctor-Phibes Gaetz might well be guilty of the crimes which are insinuated.

                          Until he's proven guilty, he's not (that's how our system works, much to your apparent dismay).

                          But the corollary to your picture...if he is found guilty, would Judge Jackson reduce his sentence below prosecutorial requests?

                                Either that or transporting presumably not underage girls across state lines. Haven't looked lately.

                                    Today's big Ketanji news is that she is unable to define what is a woman.

                                    She was asked for her definition during today's hearing.

                                    Her answer: no, I'm not a biologist.

                                    Tucker is all over it.

                                      Funny one from Ken White:

                                      It’s almost as if Jackson, as a district court judge, has experience dealing with irritating, performatively rude, mediocre white guys.

                                          The WaPo prints this, presumably with a straight face:

                                          Republicans boast they have not pulled a Kavanaugh. In fact, they’ve treated Jackson worse.

                                          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
