I’ll be right there with you. Being logical has practically become a bad habit at this point.

Because she’s Hillary 2.0 in their eyes. Smarter than them, accomplished, gives no fucks, will call them out on their bullshit. She terrifies all the man-babies.

noted.

But do we know what facts are anymore? Facts are subjective now, right?

I can’t stop, though. Pretty soon I’ll be running through the streets naked and pulling at my hair, screaming “BUT IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE AND ACTUALLY HURTS YOUR CASE I HATE YOU BUT LET ME HELP YOU”

Exactly. They were not even Sen. Warren’s words! They are CSK’s and a literal primary source that should most definitely be brought to bear as evidence of his unfitness for the position.  

McConnell is easily one of the worst, most deeply embedded, soulless politicians of our time. I don’t think he’s given any pauses for approximately 30 years. Wherever there is power to be gained, you will see his stupid turtle face nearby.

He wanted to put Warren “in her place.” This is a promise that I’d stake my life on.

Because accurately describing Jeff Sessions’ record impugns his character.

Moot point, when you don’t cast a reflection.

Yes—all federal judicial appointments require Senate confirmation.

Also: he is a racist. That isn’t an insult, it is a fact. It was true 30 years ago (by the senate’s own admission) and it is true now.

federal judge confirmation? is that in your american senate?

They love to abuse rules. Ignore them when they don’t suit their agenda, bend them to silence others. It’s an illness.

It is complete bullshit, but I really don’t get why Mitch did it. I doubt there are some moderate constituents who would decide that Sessions actually isn’t great and would call his GOP senator after watching this on CSPAN. Was he really worried that her reading the letter would sway a GOP senator’s mind? Hasn’t this…

because it might give them pause for a second and make them consider who the fuck they have actually become.

Right, a letter that was, in fact, written for. a. Sessions. Senate. confirmation.

Invoking rule 19 is completely insane for a confirmation hearing. But even putting that aside for a second, how is reading a letter from Coretta Scott King impugning his character? Like, how?

I’m amazed by this. How the fuck you gonna use Rule 19 during a confirmation hearing of a sitting senator? It’s absolute bullshit.
