    They're looking for any kind of justification they can find to vote against her. Their idiot supporters are watching, and they want to see obstruction. In the end, it's just a partisan political choice, and for the Senate minority, they already know how they're voting despite how any silly questions get answered.

    The're not looking for justification, they already have that.

    Their asking Hypothetical questions. Asking "How would you vote if?" Are you going to kill our babies? Are you going to take my right to kill my baby away? It's nonsense. They want to know if she supports Trump. This is just an attack on her character and has nothing to do if she would be a good judge.

    Nothing hypothetical about it. Killing babies? Let's not get emotional.

    I'll say this... I think she's making these male politicians look like
    little boys. ;-)

    She is a smart lady, and she would be a good judge if she could be impartial. She wants to implement the United States of Catholicism, next we'll see sharia law. A packed court could throw out Roe v. Wade and the ACA. Currently there is nothing to replace either, and that's only the beginning.

    It's republicans packing the court today, right in front of your eyes.

    Then you do not understand what "court packing" is.

    But it normal for lefties to re-define things when they want them to mean something else.

    Forget what the lefties or righties want. Do you want an impartial

    I do undertand what you are saying and what you mean by court packing.

    But it normal for lefties to re-define things when they want them to mean something else.

    The court packing began when Mitch McConell wouldn't give Obama's pick (Garland) a hearing 8 months before an election.

    Then he gives Trump's nominee (Barrett) a hearing 50 days before an election. That is hypocracy, and court packing.

    But Trump's court packing is in accordance with current law, and if Trump didn't load it up now then he would be a disgrace to his voters. Only a scum like Biden would load it up later by increasing the quantity of justices. I don't think he really has the balls to do it though, he's just being encouraged by his care workers to act like a tough-guy. In reality, and Joe knows it, he would have hell to pay if he made an executive order to raise the # of justices. By not denouncing such a horrible, anti-Democratic idea, just to sound tough to bunch of idiots, Joe is thereby promoting the abuse of presidential power. People who appreciate that crap are some sick enablers.

    Well, it has been a while since LBJ was in office, when the USSC

    Canada has the equivalent of "medicare for all," right?

    So what does your federal government do for illegal
    immigrants when it comes to health care? Do you pay for that with your taxes?

    Illegal immigrants would not get coverage. They would have to pay out of pocket for their medical expenses. If you were to visit Canada you would also have to pay your own medical bills either through insurance or out of pocket. I never travel to the US without insurance.

    I donate to charity whenever I can, but I'm not comfortable with it becoming mandatory to do so - especially when I have other people's medical bills that
    I'd rather be paying for. My dad needs a hearing aid, but nobody has $1000 for
    it. So, instead of buying my dad a hearing aid, I'll buy health care for illegal immigrants. If my kids need braces? Well, I'll have to take that into consideration after I pay for braces for some illegal kids first.

    I guess it's a matter it a matter of prioreties. Those who are wealthy or those with insurance need not worry. What about those who are not wealthy or have insurance, do we just let that go?

    There just doesn't seem to be any kind of planning in the white house today

    I don't agree with that statement. I see nothing but a stack of completed tasks. Maybe not the Green New Deal, or an apology to Iran, but those
    are things we'll leave on the backburner for Democrats to play around with in 2024.

    The Trump white house has done some things, for sure. There are many things that need doing that he has simply ignored. Coronavirus is one that has been ignored for months now and it seems to be back in a big way just at election time. I don't know if you want a green new deal but some attention and thought should be paid to the science around global warming, at least.

    Wrong. Biden has made it very clear that he is not in favor of single-payer type of system, but is in favor of personal choice.

    We'll find out what his policy plans are after he gets elected. We

    It is my bias for truth and facts that is showing.

    Name me another President Democrat or Republican.

    Who else had the courage to stop foreign countries (namely China) to continuously rip off the United States of America, with respect to

    I do not know all the facts on China, it is complex.

    Who else fixed the tax code so that WE as Americans keep to keep
    more of our hard earned money.

    Not that much more. He fixed the tax code so that his billionaire
    buddies got to keep a *LOT* more of their earnings.

    Name me another President where the stock market has soared breaking
    its own record multiple times within 4 year term.

    The stock market rose at a higher average rate under Obama than under
    Trump. Obama inherited a crash because of Bush policies that drove the
    stock market down to about 6600. When he turned over the Presidency to
    Trump it had risen steadily to 19800, an increase by a factor of 2.99
    over a period of about 95 months, which equates to 1.16% per month
    compounded monthly. Last stock market price is 29,999 -- an increase by a factor of 1.51 over a period of just under 48 months, which equates to
    0.8% per month compounded monthly. In other words Trump inherited a
    strong market and did not get it to increase at the same rate as it had
    done under Obama. All of this discussion ignores the fact that only the
    more affluent part of the population has any stake in the stock market.

    Can you recall a previous President of the U.S. that has done all of
    the above and has not collected a salary.

    It is true that Trump says he has donated his salary. It is also true
    that previous statements of his donations to charity have been false.
    It is also true that he has earned far more than his salary by his
    charges to the federal government for using his various private
    facilities. It is also true that his donations for "help overturn the
    election fund" have put more than 100 million into funds that he can use
    for what ever he pleases. I.e. giving up $400,000 yearly salary pales
    in comparison to the money he has raked in via other means based on his
    office.

    This mask crap is nothing more than an opening to exercise `control' over people. Thats just the start. When Biden takes the oath, the `control' will escalate. Lockdowns will become common. So will a flood of illegal aliens taking jobs from Americans.

    If you think illegals flooded the country during the Hussein/Biden days, you're in for a whole lot of `you ain't seen nothin' yet'!

    On the bright side, illegals from central America are likely to mostly stick to the hispanic states, like Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, California.

    By the time they wander up north, hopefully they will figure out that murder isn't something you give $10 bucks to the cops for in order to avoid jail. But unfortunately for our southern states, that's a lesson that won't be learned quickly enough.

    Harris is not just the very worst possible person to be vice president of this country, she is the absolute pits for a first woman president. And don think that isn't in the cards. It is.

    The Republicans need to nominate 100% pure blacks for president and vice president. That's something that the Democrats haven't done yet. I know that's not the way we do business, we're not a skin-colored operation, but more of a skills-colored operation. But we need to blacken up before the crats do.

    escalate. Lockdowns will become common. So will a flood of illegal aliens taking jobs from Americans.

    I could care less about illegals taking our jobs. I just want them to feel like their lives will be over if they murder someone. But it's extremely difficult to make them feel that way because of where they came from.

    If Biden gets in the White House, dark days are coming. Stock pile non- perishable food and plenty of ammo.

    Next time I talk to any Republican lawmaker, I'm going to stress the importance of affordable arms. Every American citizen should have access to quality firearms & ammo. It's as important as any other lifesaving medicine.
