I have to wonder if someone taking the citizenship examination had to answer the question Cory Booker asked Amy Coney Barrett, if there was an obligation of an office holder to peacefully transfer power to someone who beat him in an election answered the way she did, that she'd have to think about it in a trial, if any examiner wouldn't conclude that that candidate didn't really get it and wasn't ready for citizenship in the United States.
NO ONE WHO CANNOT GIVE THE CLEAR ANSWER BASED IN THE EXACT TEXT IN THE CONSTITUTION ON WHO GETS TO BE PRESIDENT AND WHEN THEIR TERM ENDS BASED ON THEM WINNING AN ELECTION SHOULD EVER HOLD ANY OFFICE IN THE FEDERAL, STATE, COUNTY, MUNICIPAL OR SMALLER CIVIC ENTITY NEVER MIND GET TO SIT ON THE SUPREME COURT.
ANY SITTING JUDGE WHO GAVE THAT ANSWER SHOULD BE IMPEACHED AND REMOVED FROM THE BENCH.
NO SENATOR WHO VOTES FOR A CANDIDATE FOR ANY JUDGESHIP OR ANY OTHER OFFICE REQUIRING SENATORIAL CONFIRMATION WHO GAVE THE ANSWER AMY CONEY BARRETT GAVE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO STAY IN THE SENATE, THEY SHOULD BE EXPELLED FOR VIOLATING THAT OATH THE REPUBLICANS LIE EVERY TIME THEY GET SWORN IN, AND THAT GOES FOR ANY DEMOCRAT OR INDEPENDENT WHO WOULD VOTE FOR SOMEONE WHO GAVE THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION THAT AMY CONEY BARRET GAVE.
No one who gave the answer to that and a number of the other questions she was asked should ever be licensed as a lawyer, never mind work as a Constitutional scholar at a ritzy law school. That she ever worked at Notre Dame Law School is a scandal it should not live down
What the hell is going on when someone can do what she did and the entire goddamned "free press" from highest and most overrated to lowest and probably deserving an even lower rating doesn't hollar in one voice that this woman disqualified herself from being a member of the court on that response alone. And there were many others that should be equally disqualifying.
I've long noted what a hypocritical sham Senate Judiciary Confirmation hearings had become but this proves that the Senate has discredited itself and the system of advice and consent certainly doesn't work when Republicans are in control and if they don't demand of candidates for the offices they confirm that they answer even such a simple question of basic civics, NOT EVEN A QUESTION OF EGALITARIAN DEMOCRACY BUT OF A REPUBLIC AND NOT A DICTATORSHIP RUN BY GANGSTERS, those provisions of the Constitution giving them that power should be altered.
The Republicans are putting a woman on the Supreme Court who would not commit to the most basic definition of good government that the loser of an election does not leave an office they were voted out of peacefully or they are breaking the law and must be removed by force. She is unfit for citizenship in a republic, she has no business on its so-called highest court.
