What ACB should say to Booker about LGBTQ rights is that the House and the Senate needs to sexual orientation to Title 7.  

They need to do a lot of legislating including just putting abortion rights explicitly in statute, putting gay rights in there, decriminalizing and descheduling marijuana.  The filibuster has to go away or "Jeff Sessions" Republicans will not allow these things through.

I'll believe it when I see it. Sorry, but your confidence and the confidence of conservatives isn't reassuring. The most outspoken voices I've seen that agree with you also actively want abortions banned or heavily curtailed. One thing that isn't in question is that the court will get its chance. Get ready for another round of creative and not-so-creative attempts to undermine abortion rights in the next two years that will immediately work their way through the courts. 

Sure, but that is you taking a position court watchers do not agree with.

I'm not saying it's going to happen, but I would bet that it does. Not just cuz of her, but because of the three justices picked under Trump (one of whom I like).

I understand their concern. But they should really do some research.  I don’t think she’s going to vote to overturn Roe or tear down the entire ACA. I think the mandate will go but that’s it. All of this is theater that will turn out to be unfounded fear. 

And that is if it does not get tossed back to the lower court.

ACB just absolutely shit on the democrats in the committee.  There was zero doubt today that her intellect towers over any democrat in politics in America (any Republican as well).

America is hitting a home run, thanks Trump.

I would have much preferred if ACB didn’t look like she was sitting through a double root canal during the entire proceedings.  Like you said she was in control, relax a little.

Pretty sure this is what you meant.

No, unpopular with the American public.  Mainly only bigger social issues.  The court will continue to rule fiscally conservative, but it's unlikely it will get the American Public to lose faith in the Supreme Court -- but an overturning of gay marriage and abortion rights will cause at least 51% of the public to want SC reform.  That's all the Democrats need.

Yeah she is impressive.  We shall see if her legacy is ending rights for women and gays.   Their is an old proverb “men marry women hoping they never change and they always do”.   We shall see what happens with ACB.   
 

Her action with the pad today will be a meme for years to come.

We are going to be damn lucky to have a well qualified woman like ACB to be sitting on the bench upholding the constitution of the United States instead of some group’s personal biases and preferences.

I guess we will see.  Your example is an interesting one.  Every time the "American public" voted, they voted against gay marriage.  It was the SCOTUS made it the law.

In any case, how did they select Kavanaugh over her?!?!?!

This. She's going to be a damn good Justice. I understand the outrage, but it's more about hipocrisy than it is ACB. Thus far she has been nothing but impressive.

Senator Whitehouse is mansplaining.  If this was a Republican to a liberal/progressive women with his condescending tone feminists would be blowing a gasket.
