That is, imply that any senator that votes for confirmation is voting to kill off Obamacare, which the left sees tantamount to depriving 10s of thousands of people of their health care insurance.
I doubt seriously that this strategy will work at all but that's what I see them trying.
If it goes more than 7 days before she's confirmed, I'll be surprised.

Spot on Don.
Leftists started out with Obamacare this morning and are busy propping up huge pictures of their sick constituents.
Lots of emotional, anecdotal, sob stories and appeals but zero Constitutional content or argument.[This message has been edited by randye (edited 10-12-2020).]

Unless someone finds something, she can start decorating the office by the end of the week.
Perspective, it's all about perspective. If she's a loon, we can use several more.
One of the most qualified people to ever be nominated.
I would ask, what's your issue with her? Is it because President Trump nominated her? She Catholic? She's a Constitutionalist? What?
She was accused of being racist, is she in your opinion?

*Senator Braun of Indiana just pointed out something that I hadn't realized before.
ACB will be the first justice on the court that did NOT graduate law school from Harvard or Yale and is the first justice that didn't spend her professional career on the east coast and is the first justice from West of Washington D.C.
(* That's Sen. Braun's claim and I'll have to check it out but it seems correct AFAIK right now )

She just confirmed that she will be the first not from Yale or Harvard and thought she might be able to teach the other Justices something about football.

So you're going for the comic relief angle, right?

Abject ignorance of the United States Constitution isn't usually comical but I did chuckle at that instance of it.
I'm sure this will be totally lost on Leftists:
United States Constitution
Article VI
(Last paragraph)
"The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."[This message has been edited by randye (edited 10-12-2020).]

Do you remember Harry Reid? Here is a quick >3 minute video from CNN to remind you:
To which Mitch McConnell responded:
.
So... I'm kind of holding back my elation on this... and trying not to sound giddy in this response. But no, there is nothing they can do short of bringing a gun to the Senate and holding everyone hostage until the election.

So, you don't mind that she's Catholic but have a problem with what she believes in "religiously"?
You're gonna have to explain that one to me..

I've wanted to have a discussion with him because... whenever I see someone so confident in their views, I make the assumption that maybe they know something that I do not... and I want to find out in case I'm in the wrong. Every time I "try" to have a discussion with him, he shrinks away... so good luck. He might respond because I'm calling him out on it, but this last sentence may cause him to not respond again for fear that he's caving to my demands. But then, you never know... he might say, "I'll do what I want," and then respond anyway, only to read this last line and be like... dammit, not going to respond because that's what he wants (which is what I want, because I want to have a discussion). So we'll see... heheh
