ACB couldn't answer whether intimidating voters at the polls is illegal:

Quote:

Vanita Gupta tweeted 10h ago:
WATCH: Senator @amyklobuchar just asked Judge Barrett whether it's illegal under federal law to intimidate voters at the polls.

Barrett refused to answer
. Then Klobuchar read her the law.


Laurence Tribe replies:
This truly is astounding. It carries the plan to make a mockery of the whole confirmation process to an altogether new level. To say she can’t answer whether intimidating voters at the polls is illegal is like refusing to answer whether murder is illegal. Disgusting.

First of all, it is a stupid question. Everyone but Eric Holder knows it is illegal.

So you are better than ACB here.

The question has its practical sense and should be reiterated, espeially in the current situation. Reiteration shows prudence and shoots down your mockery.

That is just bullshit. That can be said about anyone. Although it is usually used against people you are supposed to hate. Not because they deserve it, but because you will be cancelled if you don't.

Am I getting warm?



I could not care less how warm you are. I doubt anyone else does, either.

Sorry, I hit a nerve. Why do you hate Trump? You have any of your own reasons?

I'm not sure they even know any more.

Lemmings didn't know why they were jumping off a cliff, either.

@Builder,
shows how you know little about most anything. Your lemmings myth exemplifies how you and pinky have a bond based on ignorance .

@oristarA,
I avoided watching it, that they are holding the hearing at all at this time is wrong on many levels. That she will pass is all but done.

Not that the following is going to stop the usual suspects of distorting the truth, they done it over the Mueller investigation and everything else but, I bet Barr is feeling like he has egg on his face. Bet he will claim whatever he wants to claim though.

‘Unmasking’ probe commissioned by Barr concludes without charges or any public report

Why can't you people acknowledge she is a wonderful woman and judge? The truth is a foreign concept because it never suits your needs. Why is that?

The mockery is all on the Democrats. The Constitution was not written to enable spoiled children to get their way.

@snood,
Since the 'unmasking' probe commissioned by Barr concludes without charges or any public report, he will reappear soon, at least in the president's tweets.

@Walter Hinteler,
Yeah, but if he doesn’t appear in person soon, it sure will look like he may be too incapacitated to do so.

CDC Study Finds Overwhelming Majority Of People Getting Coronavirus Wore Masks

Quote:
A Centers for Disease Control report released in September shows that masks and face coverings are not effective in preventing the spread of COVID-19, even for those people who consistently wear them.

A study conducted in the United States in July found that when they compared 154 “case-patients,” who tested positive for COVID-19, to a control group of 160 participants from the same health care facility who were symptomatic but tested negative, over 70 percent of the case-patients were contaminated with the virus and fell ill despite “always” wearing a mask.

Must be Trump's fault.

What's ******* democratic about that.

They are powerless figureheads though. The real power is held by the Prime Minister -- or perhaps by Parliament as a whole.

Understood, but I disagree with it. Fascists are aggressively militant forms of populists.

I would call Donald Trump and Boris Johnson populists. But I'd not call them fascists unless they start shooting people who disagree with them.

I'm the opposite of a populist. Populists dislike knowledge and expertise, and instead favor good old fashioned common sense.

I'm an elitist. I favor leaders with knowledge and expertise, and I have a passionate dislike for common sense.

My view of an ideal president is George Bush Senior with Henry Kissinger advising him.

The reason why I support Mr. Trump is because he protects America's gun rights, not because I'm fond of populist policies.
