I can't stand to listen to him. Sauer's voice makes me feel like I need to clear MY OWN throat of phlegm *

* not ridiculing a disability or medical condition... just stating a fact. He's difficult to listen to. (Maybe it's part of their strategy: to have someone who's annoying enough that he won't be asked too many questions, thus leaving the Justices with incomplete and spotty information. Or perhaps it's a sympathy ploy.)

He speaks so fast, I'm reminded of that fast-talker from the FedEx commercial.

Take a drink of water already. I am glad to see I was not the only one bugged by this.

Opps, intended for the OP, but works here too.

Probably less frustrating. I haven’t watched the news at all but keep up here which is pleasant.

could be used that way. You'd think he would consider it, but hard to know what another person would do and why.

or the pharmaceutical industry, but I have a problem with the absolutism, i.e. "This medication has proven to be harmful or ineffective, therefore all medications are bad."

I'm really uncomfortable with extremes and RFK Jr. seems to embrace them too easily. It rather defines who he is.

The people presenting their arguments have only a limited amount of time, so they try to get in as much as possible.

Locall, pollen levels are high. I think he's suffering from that.

And good morning.
