Cotton Trying to Out-ahole Hawley

What a tool. Do we need more or less police?’, followed by cutting off Judge Jackson’s nuanced answer. ‘Is 17(?) years long enough for committing a murder?’. ‘Should we capture more murderers or fewer murderers?’ ‘ Should we strengthen or weaken sentences for child pornographers?’ ‘These are not tough questions.’ AARGH! Everything is black and white for these clowns. Plus, as Judge Jackson has repeatedly pointed out, most of Cotton’s questions are within the purview of Congress, not the judiciary. I don’t know how she can keep her cool around these hypocritical poseurs.

by not picturing them naked as public speakers are often advised to do but by picturing herself ruling against their un-American behavior and laws once she gets on the bench!

Besides...let's not forget that Cotton's family once owned people who looked like Judge Jackson...and little Tommy probably believes they should own people, again!

She kept telling him that his questions were policy and nothing to do with her but he kept on because he had nothing else.

The brain dead, the malicious, the cruel, and the outright Nazis who are the Republican "base" are the people he is playing to. It makes him far worse than an asshole. It makes him pure and outright evil.
