SCOTUS

will Jackson be replacing Breyer or Thomas?

Cruz says he is Hispanic but would it be OK if he identified himself as Asian.

Actually yes. He can convert to Buddhism, eat Asian cuisine, learn Asian languages, read Asian literature, attend Asian cultural events. He can be as Asian as he likes.

[raison de arizona]

Hawley is... Well, I don't have anything nice to say.


Cotton too also.

[MN-Skeptic]

Cruz says he is Hispanic but would it be OK if he identified himself as Asian.

Actually yes. He can convert to Buddhism, eat Asian cuisine, learn Asian languages, read Asian literature, attend Asian cultural events. He can be as Asian as he likes.

Cruz can go back to his roots. He can identify as Canadian.

I am not in a good mood so I can't really say what I would like for cruz, hawley, cotton, graham


just notice that @$%@#$!@$

Cruz says he is Hispanic but would it be OK if he identified himself as Asian.

Actually yes. He can convert to Buddhism, eat Asian cuisine, learn Asian languages, read Asian literature, attend Asian cultural events. He can be as Asian as he likes.

He can only be culturally Asian, though, not racially. And from what I've seen lately, for him to try and "act Asian" (even if it's not an "act" for him but a sincere expression of what he likes, enjoys, believes and needs) it would likely be considered cultural appropriation and considered a grave insult to "real" Asians.

He's a grave insult to the human race.

[Kriselda Gray]

He's a grave insult to the human race.

No argument there.

Justice Clarence Thomas has been hospitalized since Friday.

AP: High court won’t say whether Thomas remains hospitalized

Also, it's not all bad.

[sad-cafe]

here is my wish




Judge Jackson gets confirmed-

Thomas passes away

Breyer unretires

Please no.

I dont want some ANTIFA hippie roustabout to decide to use him as an excuse to put a boycot ban on maple syrup.

[Danraft]

Ok. So what is the prognosis? Is she going to get confirmed?

[New Turtle]

Ok. So what is the prognosis? Is she going to get confirmed?

Yes, maybe even with a few GOP votes. Like 52-53 total, worst case. If McConnell votes for her, could be as high as 60.

[pipistrelle]

This is from WaPo. I don’t know if it’s been posted before.

Booker is worth listening to, if one is inclined. A nice counterbalance to all the QOP crap.

KBJ's parents just approached Booker after he used his entire time for questioning defending and uplifting KBJ

[Annrc]

He was amazing.

[AndyinPA]

I saw it earlier. It was wonderful!

[raison de arizona]

It breaks my heart what they are putting her through. Can one even call Cruz, Hawley, Cotton human? They don't deserve the label.

They are the worse of humanity--and yet they hold positions of great power.

Which is, unfortunately for humanity, not a coincidence.

I would add KBJ is just fine: it is America that has been taken out at the knees and is lying in a pool of puke.

[New Turtle]

Mitch is voting against her. My guess is she will get 50-52 votes when she should get all their votes.

[Suranis]

All this is in revenge for Robert Bork.

[AndyinPA]

Republicans are all victims. They certainly remember Bork, but they didn't hesitate to bring up Coney Barrett and Kavanaugh, too. Not too long ago, I had a friend who went off on how Goldwater was cheated out of the presidency. I almost fell off my chair.
