Biden to nominate Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to Supreme Court
-
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.

The WaPo prints this, presumably with a straight face:
Republicans boast they have not pulled a Kavanaugh. In fact, they’ve treated Jackson worse.
-
Sen. Susan Collins announced that she intends to vote to confirm Brown's appointment to the Supreme Court.

I cant find the table (though I am sure it is out there somewhere), but it was a table showing the final votes for each Supreme court justice when the US senators voted on them.
if I remember, judges nominated by Democrat presidents (at least in modern history) usually got a higher number of confirmation votes.
Depending on which side you are on, both statements are true:
- Republicans are more willing to put bias to the side and vote strictly on qualifications
or - Democrats are more likely to nominate judges who are more in the center and hold no political view.
LOL

. Number one is self-evident. Anything other than that is just playing silly booger or being as dense as a rock. I've never considered you dense.

Good to see maturity in power.
He's not in power. He's a congressperson.

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

We become so concentrated on what a judge's opinions are, we forget that the ultimate arbiter is supposed to be the constitution, not whatever some judge thinks.

Precisely.
"Endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights..."
That sounds like "natural" to me.
And that's the whole point of the Declaration. Some rights are not bestowed on people by the government. We have them because we are human.
