As for the six corrupt ones…

On my right, I have six boxes of rocks. Each is smarter than those 6. More honest and less dirty, too

in a quiet, firm way. Her questions are concise and on point. She doesn't engage in verbosity to illustrate that she's smarter than you. She just is.

How will she vote, though? How can one trust an actual Handmaiden?

She is the Handmaiden, after all. I'm just surprised she's not as full on fascist as the rest of the R's.

She helped overturn Roe v Wade. I guess she got her tubes tied? Because if not, her head is on the chopping block too. A baby making machine who can still find herself pregnant at the tender age of 52 if she has not completed menopause yet.

Others seemed a little fragmented, but that’s often the case. Like listening to these arguments even when I have trouble following the thought lines

When she said that the criminal acts of a president should have (at the least) equal weight with the concept that a president might be constrained in his official duties. She gets to the heart of the matter, by looking at the broad implications, that it is better to prevent lawlessness than it is to allow it. Seems to me that when you look at the immunity argument that way, it turns it on its head. What will do more harm? Allowing an all powerful president to act unlawful would be much more harmful to the country than an ex-president facing charges.

I did a deep dive on it a few weeks ago, because it sparked my attention for some reason.
The State of Oregon has already made the anti-homeless law null and void...So why is it before the Supreme Court?
She was the one who noticed this.

A Black female has to be better than any of her counterparts to reach the same position, in this country at this time. Wonder if that will ever change.

Was not home earlier (in Bawlmer!) so just watching now.

Here's one, plze don't hold it against me, but what if Amy C-B proves to be the true conservative? May have seen hints, here and elsewhere.

The male justices. If that’s not a good argument for diversity, I don’t know what is.
