1. Ummm......ACB?

She couldn't answer all of the questions at her confirmation hearing, yet I assume he voted for her?

[demmiblue]

12. The First Amendment, no less!

[OMGWTF]

26. Bible Barbie hadn't ever tried a case before being on SCOTUS.

Fuck, I hate Republicans. They are the greatest threat our country has ever faced.

[BradAllison]

29. Amy Conehead shops out of an American Girl catalog. n/m

[czarjak]

33. Fellow Repuke no less.

[Carlitos Brigante]

2. So, no republicans need apply? Got it!!!! nt

[lagomorph777]

3. I want a nominee who knows the Constitution and doesn't rewrite it.

I'm surprised Kennedy feels that way. His favorite 6 Justices apparently do not know nor respect the Constitution, and are rewriting it all the time.

[Baitball Blogger]

4. Just a suggestion. It's time to win the war on framing the definition of "woke"

It's about learning history as it was, not as white folk wish it to be.

[spanone]

5. Fucking racist pig.

fuck this 'senator'

[Celerity]

13. +10000000000000000

[SergeStorms]

28. Sexist, as well.

Like women spend their entire lives looking through clothing catalogs. 🙄

Most women I know are too damned busy to look at a clothing catalog.

Kennedy is among the worst republicans in Washington, and that's saying quite a lot, considering the current crop of republican numbskulls taking up space in the halls of Congress.

[JustAnotherGen]

6. He doesn't really get a say here

Like - seriously . . .

Judicial Committee appointment aside - it's funny how many of Biden's judicial nominees have received a green light.

Terribly sad for the people of Louisiana that have to live with this asshole as their Senator.

[rampartc]

24. he is much better as a senator than he was as bobby jindal's treasurer

which gives you an idea of why louisiana is always broke.

[gratuitous]

7. Nothing about watermelon and fried chicken, Senator?

You're slippin', ah say, you're slippin', boy.

[Solly Mack]

8. Sexist and racist.

[Paladin]

9. Scumbag bad-joke racist. (nt)

[Atticus]

10. And, we want senators who can tell racism from honest concern, statesmen from political hacks

and democracy from fascism.

Go. Pound. Sand.

[TheBlackAdder]

11. Every time that clown opens his mouth, he always seems to shoot himself in the foot.

.

He's too dumb to see it, or just has no real self-pride.

[Sneederbunk]

14. The Senate has its own Louie Gohmert.

[Caliman73]

34. They have several.

Thing is Tommy Tuberville seems to have learned to keep his mouth shut. Kennedy actually thinks he is intelligent and has something to say.

[patphil]

15. So, he prefers uneducated people who are asleep as far as what's really going on?

I like people who have woke up.
When they're asleep they can't make informed decisions.
When they are ignorant of the truth they can't make intelligent, thoughtful decisions.

Kennedy apparently likes brain dead sleep walkers...or should I say political zombies.

[Caliman73]

36. No, he just wants them racist, sexist, homophobic, etc...

That is what being woke is about. Being awake to the legacy that racism, sexism, homophobia, anti-Semitism, Nativism, etc... have played in this country and continue to play.

When you are "Woke" to the fact that rich White Protestant Christian men have set up systems to obtain and maintain financial, legal, and social power, then you can join together to try to dismantle those systems.

I doubt that any of President Biden's nominees shop at J. Crew and given their records, they certainly know the insides and outs of law books. As far as the Constitution, their "Woke" agenda would likely be to actually make good on what is actually written in the damn thing and what has been set as precedent through case law.

Kennedy wants things to be as they had been prior to the 1860's with a sprinkling of the 1880's to the 1920's with the anti-immigration laws.

[chowder66]

16. Michelle Obama was known for wearing J.Crew. I suppose that is his racist fucking reference.

[iemanja]

20. It's about Biden saying he would nominate an African American woman

being that Kennedy is a racist shitbag, he is pretending that any such nominee would be stupid. You know, like the judges Kennedy championed for Trump.

[chowder66]

21. Right but the odd mention of J. Crew stuck out to me because of Michelle Obama's

J.Crew wardrobe.

[iemanja]

23. Yeah, could be.

[onenote]

45. It seems to be his idea of a witty comeback, which he uses all the time

See post #19.

[iemanja]

17. Suddenly he cares about that?

What a load of shit from a vile racist.

[iemanja]

18. I want a Senator who isn't on Russia's payroll

[onenote]

19. Kennedy has a J. Crew fixation.

Some of the other times he's referred to J. Crew (there probably are others):

November 2021:“I am pro-life. I am anti-Roe v. Wade. . . . But, Mr. President, even pro-choice legal scholars who believe in legalized abortion on demand understand—as does every fair-minded person who knows a law book from a J. Crew catalog—that Roe v. Wade is one of the most arbitrary, it’s one of the most ad hoc, it’s one of the most poorly-reasoned decisions in the history of the United States. Anyone, Mr. President, who knows a law book from a J. Crew catalog also knows that there’s absolutely no foundation—not in the text, not in the structure, not in the history, not in the tradition of the Constitution—for a constitutional right to abortion, and certainly not on the basis of some unmoored general right to privacy that’s not enunciated in the Constitution.”

April 2021: "Anybody who knows a law book from a J.Crew catalog knows that Democrats’ attempt to add D.C. as a state is unconstitutional."

February 2020 (during first Trump impeachment trial): A"nyone who knows a lawbook from a J. Crew catalog does not take this charge seriously."

November 2019: "any lawyer, in my judgment, who knows a law book from a J. Crew catalog knows that a- a sterile transcript is no substitute for live witnesses."

May 2019: “Anybody who knows a law book from a J. Crew catalog knows Roe v. Wade was one of the most poorly reasoned decisions in the history of the United States Supreme Court.”

[shanti]

44. So....a talking point

that he regurgitates. Didn't one of the talking heads have a piece on the way that the R's tend to repeat phrases?

[Vinca]

22. Well, isn't that clever? Is he sure the idiots he usually panders to will get it?

It's a little more sophisticated than his normal good ole boy rant.

[LudwigPastorius]

25. Double fuck that racist asshole.

[Hekate]

27. "Beaulah, you be sure to starch & iron my robes & hood. I'll need them for that Senate hearing."

Jesus Christ on a Trailer Hitch, what century are we in?

[usaf-vet]

30. Kennedy wanted to send a clear message ONLY RWNJ SCOTUS members can rewrite the Constitution.

That is their document to use and abuse.

[calimary]

31. Joy-Ann (Pro-Democracy), whoever you are, BIG HUGS!!!

From a COVID-safe distance of course!

You’re sayin’ EXACTLY what I’m thinkin’.

[Caliman73]

37. That would be Joy Reid - MSNBC host.

She is good at the zingers.

[calimary]

39. Well shit! Why didn't I know that?

I rarely go on Twitter, and the little photo by her name was hard to make out.

And I love Joy Reid! So glad she got a regular weekday timeslot.

[Layzeebeaver]

32. Says the windbag who likely can't tell the difference himself. EOM

[RANDYWILDMAN]

35. It's sad watching old white men trying to protect an old white man agenda

Your so hip senator throwing out those great Zingers to distract people so you can stay in power and maintain the status quo !

lets put another Catholic judge on the court

[LowerManhattanite]

38. Go choke on your corn pone...

…Senator Kleagle.

[sinkingfeeling]

40. Has he ever met Brett Kavanaugh?

[11 Bravo]

41. Relax, Johnny. Ivanka is not on anyone's SCOTUS list.

[MerryHolidays]

42. Foghorn Leghorn? Bwahahahahaha!!!!

Or even Mr. Haney from Green Acres! John Kennedy is a dead ringer for him in looks, whiny voice, sleaziness, and ethics. I can't believe our beloved JFK shares two names with this buffoon:

[DFW]

43. And we want Republican Senators that know the Constitution from Mein Kampf

You can’t always get what you want………

[maxrandb]

46. Maxrandb wants a Retrumplican Senator that is not a bunch of dicks in a Strom Thurmond skinbag
