    "Mr. Kennedy, how can you, a Catholic, affirm that you will enforce the laws of the United States?"

    Isn't Vice President Biden catholic?

    In name, perhaps. He supports abortion. IIRC, one priest denied him Holy Communion because of that. Also, I don't think he was baptized into the church, only attends Catholic services.

    Interesting. I did not realize that the catholic religion was that strict. Are most christian religions that strict as to who can be one of that religion?

          Lesbians, no doubt.
          Wait. That would be good, right? I mean, not for the right, but for the left. So, if they are not lesbians, then that would be good for the right in terms of support, but disappointing for some on the left.

          So, the solution would be bi-sexual. hmmm. Nope, that would not be right.
          Transsexual? I don't know, because I don't really know what it means. And I'm not going to google it, because then I'll start receiving a bunch of ads for transexual stuff.

          Transgender? God, it's getting complicated. Right would prefer a white male, but it's not a male, it's a female that experienced onset femininity, then started climbing trees around 3rd grade while dreaming about boys, or girls.

          These days, there is no such thing as sexual misconduct. "Misconduct" is allowed, it's 2020 for gosh sakes.

          Good, I fixed it all. Maybe then a little bit of time could be spent on their qualifications instead of what they might have been doing or thinking, or thinking about thinking, or thinking about doing, in their past.

                          Last night I watched an interview with her. It was OK, she seemed like a smart enough person. But, and just my opinion of course, she didn't seem to have the gravitas of someone being considered. Maybe it was her young sounding voice, or "average" vocabulary.
                          If I were on a committee, after listening to her field questions, I think I would have asked for more candidates for consideration.

                                          "In January 2018, I tweeted the cover story of the National Law Journal. It was titled The Great Reshaping: How the Trump Administration is Changing the Game on Judicial Nominations. And it depicted portraits of then-Justice Gorsuch, and Judges Kavanaugh, Barrett, and Willett. So far, these predictions are looking good. I'm still holding out for Justice Willett."

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