It was disingenuous.

I am not opposed to PDAs but something about that was just weird. He is too slick by 100.

Just weird.

And fake-seeming.

Phony baloney. Not fooling me.

The little I did hear, he sounded very arrogant. He did not seem contemplative or even keeled for the bits I saw.

Sen. Franken questioned him on it and article link in my OP talks about it.

"How far he can be to take extreme textualism in order to rule in favor of a company or corporate interests."

"If I were the Chamber of Commerce or other business interests, that signals to me that this is my type of guy."

"That decision was outsourced to the Federalist Society and Heritage..."

Franken is doing a great job. Thanks to DemocracyNow and DemocraticUnderground for keeping all of this information flowing!

"When you are pro-business as a judge you are just biased and we can't accept bias on the United States Supreme Court."

Thank you for posting this. As I said, only saw bits, and had heard of the frozen trucker, but I couldn't imagine this ruling was as absurd and unfeeling as it is. And btw, what a gem Senator Franken is in the Senate.

driver was family.

But people that are not capable of compassion is a horrible trait for the supreme court.

Must run in the family.

For "mom" to not care about the environment is another telling sign. To not love and honor the Earth, one is lacking deeply in feeling and connection to life itself.

...why he sounds so fake when he's being folksy and extra soft spoken. Playing the role of someone who actually feels feelings.

It would explain why listening to his "sincerity" was so eerie.

It was creepy listening to him. I could not understand what was so off, and then it comes out that he is acting like a person with no feelings. Incapable of feeling.

This is a terrible SCOTUS pick!

...quake because he is so young. He'll be there for over 30 years.

shorten up that "lifetime" appointment thing. What is up with that? In my state the federal judges have to retire at 70. There needs to be a limit on SCOTUS.

I found. his performance chilling.

They're called Republicans.

I have yet to hear of a sociopathic Democrat.

It is extremely harmful to give a lifetime appointment to someone incapable of feeling.

to ALEC.

if he hadn't been born of wealth and privilege.. hell, even then.

I had a scary conversation with friends I grew up with in Appalachia. The common theme seems to be that since their lives are hard, their hearts have become hardened and really don't want to see others get benefits.

They cite problems with coal mines and factories closing, drugs like meth and heroin in rural areas, shitty experiences while serving overseas in the military, etc. Liberal concerns are laughable in comparison to soldiers witnessing bodies of children who died of thirst in the desert. I explicitly asked them about elderly poor people losing health benefits and meals on wheels, and their answer was let them die. Those elderly had a whole lifetime to plan better and make different choices, so tough shit. No more socialism. No quarter.


A lot of truckers will freeze to death on Trump's watch and these assholes are fine with it. They think liberals are trying to kill long haul trucking jobs somehow anyway, by building more railroads or something.

He is a true 'alien.' But I have no idea where from.

Maybe GN-z11.. which is 13.38 Gly away.. That seems to be a 13.38 gigalight-years -- OR
13,000,000,000 light years away.

That's much farther than pluto and even farther out than Trey Goudy.




Don't even ask....

I had not thought of that, but it is an interesting take on it.

Straight out the of gate with the odd hug with his wife, and then the cold non-answers.
