And they can't stand that, they torpedoed Hillary for 30 plus years, because she said she wasn't a stay at home and bake cookies type. Rot in hell, Richard Melon-Scaife.

Yeah, pretty sure "slow down the confirmation process" just means "let's delay until the midterms, then if we (Republicans) take back the Senate and the House, we can apply the McConnell Rule* and say it's too late in Biden's term to confirm a SCOTUS nominee."

* -- The McConnell Rule being, of course "Democrats aren't allowed Supreme Court picks."

Yes, people like that. Or Jared or Trump spawn. Mark Meadows. Josh Hawley. Trump will probably slime out of any consequences, no matter what, sadly. Although I would not mind being proven wrong.

Hold off until he and or Sinema vote against her conformation. Susa Collins style. Im expecting a full betrayal of the democratic party from both if them before their next elections. Neither will be able to run as dems after what THEY did.

Or amendments to the Constitution; remember, she was asked to list the protections in the First Amendment, and she couldn’t name them all.

lololol "To deflect Republican criticism..." lmao Oh THAT's rich! They could delay Judge KBJ's confirmation processes and "vetting" until Gabriel blows his horn; and absolutely ZERO fucking criticism would be deflected -- Rethug, Dino, or any other sort. Do those assholes really think OHJB -- or any of the rest of us, ffffs? -- are that stupid? Talk about a 'Lucy and the football" scenario.Jesus Fucking Christ.
