  1. I don't understand why these judicial nominees don't spend a few hours watching other nominees or reading the transcript of other nominees being questioned by Kennedy because for years he's been asking from a pool of the same 35-40 questions. If there's a big case currently on the scotus docket, esp involving an unresolved theory, he may also ask about the theory.

  2. He gets the questions ahead of time and he still manages to lie when he answers.

  3. But, President Musk and First Lady Donald prefer to eliminate the VA and SS and Medicare

  4.  @deceptor99  Well you left a lot out in your comment. There's context that has to be considered. Imagine if the EU had a national election -- Could that election also take place in one 9-5 day? Doubtful. So, what do Scots who are working a 24 hour hospital, fire or other emergency/crisis type job do to vote on this one-day only voting period? You must have a percentage of people who cannot make it to your polls. What do the physically disabled,vthe elderly w/o transportation do to vote in Scotland?

  5. ​ @christophertolman7023  However, if you use the 5th in a civil proceeding so you don't self-incriminate and there is subsequently a criminal case, the jury (or judge) is allowed to use your 5th response as an admission of guilt in the criminal proceedings. It's not always a great idea to use the 5th in civil proceedings.

  6. You really don't think people have a legitimate concern

  7. The IG who is supposed be the watchdog, is supposed to report to his own boss, who hired him and can fire him, and tell that his boss he isn't doing his job right. That's a bad setup. The Senate needs to be in charge of appointing the IG.

  9. ​ @jonhenry8268  Good. I think the EU deserves it. The EU are the only forces actually standing by Ukraine... It was the US and the EU countries who signed an agreement with Ukraine that made Ukraine give up their nuclear arsenal in exchange for US and EU protection should Russia invade. The US has just reneged on the agreement. ..

  11. Funding Ukraine is much more beneficial to the US than funding Israel at this point.

  12. The government isn't the one forcing a homeowner to have home insurance. It's the mortgage companies requiring it. As for autos, if you own the car in full, you only need liability.

  14. ​ @phlogistonstudio8261 Who said those in the pictures were having a non-consensual encounter? It seems fairly clear that the woman agreed to be there. The only "non-consensual participant" was MTG and everyone she showed the pornographic photographs to !

  15. Did you watch the video? Maybe you meant to comment on a different video?? Out of 21 mins of this video, Cruz speaks for 18:30 of it. He sits there and gives speeches but complains and stops a nominee after 6-8 words. Cruz loves getting these videos posted and apparently, he likes the sound of his own voice. It's apparent that Cruz is just angry because he was over an hour late showing up. He even says he was late on this video- the first time he talks about it, he makes it sound like he was a few minutes late, but near the end of the video, we learn just how late he was and it's not just a few minutes. Because he was so late, and the nominee had already answered everyone's questions, Cruz didn't get to ask any questions because he wasn't there before the questioning ended. Durbin waited and waited for Cruz. Durbin asked Cruz's own personal staffer where he was and if he was coming, and she said she had no idea where he was, but thought he was coming. She also Ed but got no answer. So, Durbin waited even longer after that. ALL of tne Senators there had finished asking questions when the above exchange happened, but durbin kept them sitting there waiting in Cruz. He finally held the vote just like they are SUPPOSED to do. Now, Cruz is upset. This isn't the first time Cruz has failed to show up -- he even admits this in the video. Edit: Just like the comment after mine, I'm sure Cruz fans are going to read the headline and listen to the first 3-4 minutes and assume he was only a couple of minutes late. They need to watch the entire video before replying to my ccomments. I've added additional information to my comment for the next Cruz fan to watch the entire video, first.

  16. Panic? Over what? The committee chair, Jim Jordan, was so disappointed that he stormed out before it was over.

  17. Hey Bibi the Butcher! Pretty please don't respond, but as always, the US will 100% support you... The US taxpayers are quite happy that we can provide Israelis with an apartheid country that has free healthcare, free advanced education, no homelessness and no hunger. In fact, the majority of Americans wrote their checks to you just yesterday, April 15

  18. ​ @billfannin3803  What did he lie about since he's been a politician?? It's a bit much for you to ask someone to list over 32,000 of them, and that was just while in office.

  21.  @deceptor99  What do your homebound citizen's and students studying abroad do to vote? My state, Georgia HAD secure ballot drop boxes at local libraries & fire stations where people, mostly the disabled, could leave their ballots. My county had one drop box per 20,000 residents. That's changed to one box per 100,000 residents. Thus, making boxes inaccessible to many. Previously, those SECURE, locked boxes were available during the early voting period 24 hrs/day so those working shifts longer than 9a-5p could insert their ballots before or after work. Now, the 10 ballot boxes has been reduced to 2 boxes AND the hours are limited (9-5), as well as the days (M-F). The boxes can no longer be at post offices and local libraries;. instead, they must be in the same location as the county elector's office -- an available only while this office is open for early voting. Well, if people could take their absentee ballots to their county's office of elections on a weekday during biz hours, they wouldn't need an absentee ballot. They would simply vote during early voting. The entire point of these secured boxes is to allow folks to turn their ballots in outside of normal biz operating hours. Just another way the current GOP is making it more difficult for Georgians to vote. ***You still haven't answered my question of what, if anything, Scotland does to ensure its disabled, elderly and nontraditional working hours workers'vare able to vote? From what you've stated, you're saying those who cannot physically get to a polling location are just shite out of luck. Also, are you allowed to vote at any open polling place in the country or are you limited to/assigned to vote at only one place?

  23. Yes, I agree that in the first month, taxpayers forked over $15 million plus 11 million plus 10.4 million for a total of $36.4 million for Trump to attend half of the Superbowl, ride around the NASCAR track, and play golf at maralago 3X/week. Let's cut THAT fat and keep our Veterans working in civil service!

  24. This IG who is supposed be the watchdog, is supposed to report to his own boss, who hired him and can fire him, and tell that his boss he isn't doing his job right. That's a bad setup. The Senate needs to be in charge of appointing the IG. That's why he doesn't often find wrongdoing

  26. Merrick Garland was totally useless with the exception of Menedez

  27. I don't understand why these judicial nominees don't watch these hearings before their own questioning because Kennedy always asks the exact same 35-40 questions he's been asking for years. His only new question in 2023 was about the independent judicial state theory and that's because there's a case regarding it currently waiting on the SCOTUS docket.

  28. ​ @michaelevans831  So, you're against the government and the public minding their own business and leaving all of us, like John Q. Public, alone as long as we/individuals aren't harming anyone else. Why do you think that's wrong? Please, tell us why you support the government regulating our personal lives in our own homes? I'm seriously asking.

  32. The IG who is supposed be the watchdog, is supposed to report that his own boss, who hired him and can fire him, isn't doing his job right. That's a bad setup. The Senate needs to be in charge of appointing the IG who oversees if banks are following federal regulations.

  33. With all of this voter fraud only just coming to light, how do we know that Trump won in 2016?

  34. He didn't question 4 of the last 5 SCOTUS nominees in this fashion. Weird.

  38. ​ @calliumcontrol  No, we want him to OFFICIALLY agree to have the transcripts of his testimony. He has to actually submit an official request. As for revealing everything he said over 3 weeks testifying, Booker asked him ONE specific question... Did you testify under oath that you witnessed Trump declassify the documents?

  39. ​ @kristypiits8982  you do know that 94% of all illegal immigrants in the US are overstays, right? They came to the US by purchasing a ticket on an airline and had an actual visa for their passports that was good for up to 180 days but they did not leave before the visa expired - overstayed their visas. Basically, they came in on a regular tourist visa every American would need to get for their passports to visit most countries. People aren't scurrying across the border in the middle of the night in droves like you believe. Remember the miles-long Caravan Invasion of 2016, the one that disappeared on election day?

  41. ​​ @ricks.1092  Well, I suspect that's exactly what did happen, except it's unlikely the judge did the research. It's usually a clerk. Obviously, the judge/clerk caught the mistakes.

  44. Just look at Aileen Cannon. She has no business being a judge, either. She's had 4 total cases and 2 jury guilty verdicts were overturned on appeal because of Cannon In her current and 5th case, she's made 4 rulings and 3 of the 4 were dismissed by district appeals court. ALL of her errors are things literally taught in first year law. Perhaps, if the US didn't allow the privatization of state prisons and focused 9n rehabilitation like our many allies, the US could have a re-offender rate between 3-15% like they have instead of leasing the entire world with its current 81%. If that rate could even be cut in half, we wouldn't need so many federal judges.

  47.  @salahuddinmuhammad3251  You must be a citizen to vote. Being on the path to citizenship won't make you eligible. That's always been the case with the exception of 14 municipalities that allow property owners to vote in the small elections, like school boards.

  48. ​ @Kjack2023  Why are the very wealthy Americans paying just 4% of their income in federal tax, but the middle class pays 28%? It infuriates me when someone says, "That person paid $19 million in taxes last year," but when that someone made $5 billion, paying $10 million in tax is the equivalent of us tossing in a nickel for an entire year of income tax.

  49. ​ @andymichlosky2322  What's so strange about this video featuring Jim Jordan is that after 17.5 years in Congress, Jordan has proposed a single Bill nor has he even co-sponsored a single bill. Jordan didn't go to DC to make positive changes. He went there for the power, money and prestige.

  50.  @unbroken1010  My point is that if @kenney doesn't recognize the name, he can easily Google it .. provided Google is available in his homeland. My comment was not difficult to understand.
