Why Isn't Tom Cotton Preventing Rape In His Home State Of Arkansas?
Why Isn't Tom Cotton Preventing Rape In His Home State Of Arkansas?
To be fair, one might say that as a US Senator preventing rape is not his job. But, as a federal appeals court judge it's not Ketanji Jackson's job either. Yet Tom Cotton tried to grill her on whether or not she knew how many rapes occurred in the United States, as if she has some personal responsibility for lowering the number.
Something like this exchange took place time after time as the Republican senators asked irrelevant (to the Supreme Court position) questions of Judge Jackson over and over.
The consensus is that the GOP inquisitors were trying to appeal to the Q Anon voter base of the Republican Party. Maybe Jackson should have asked them if they are now or have ever been a member of the Q Anon conspiracy. That might have shut them up.

Some people think the Republicans "got away with" their pointless attacks on Jackson. But I think the American people were watching with disapproval.
Just like they did when the Democrats made baseless attacks on Kavanaugh and Barrett
I can't believe the dems are trying to fool the American people into believing they take the high road after what they did to Kavanaugh and Barrett. This pales in comparison to what was done to them.
The biggest takeaway from the hearings is that she can’t define a woman.
Maybe she feels no need to define the word "woman". What does the original text of the constitution say about the matter?
She's trying to hide her radical far left views
The takeaway? Jackson is way smarter than Josh Hawley, Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz!
Do you ever wonder how the Democrats have bungled the Trump implosion so badly? This should be a once in a century opportunity for the democrats to run up the score. Yet because their intellectual superstars can't articulate simple things like what a woman is, Democrats have somehow managed to make Republicans more popular than ever.
Jackson's inability to articulate something as simple as what a woman is shows how disconnected the democrats are from ordinary Americans. How can anyone trust them to lead when they lack all common sense?
Democrats are so caught up in their own bubble that they think their crazy race/gender obsessions are shared by normal people.
Ah yes, those simple questions that come laden with follow-up landmines ... I would have been disappointed had KBJ taken the bait.
Yes, that proves my point. That asking an adult progressive how to define a woman is considered a landmine for progressives is all you really have to know about how absurd the democratic party has become.
When asked for the definition a "woman", the Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously agreed: "the obedient servant of her husband".
She'll survive those "attacks" just like Kavanaugh and Barrett have.
At least Republicans didn't stoop as low as to try to figure out some "code" in high school yearbooks or accuse her of rape and assault.
No, Jackson wasn't accused by multiple victims...
And Kavanaugh wasn't accused by any credible witnesses.
And yet the left fell over themselves hoping against hope that at least ONE of the "accusers" could prove something, or just the bad press would be enough to sway a few votes.
Epic fail, btfw.
Neither was Kavanaugh.
Excellent point!
I guess they could always just fabricate something out of thin air. Where is Judy Munro Leighton these days, anyway?
ironic Cotton turned synthetic...
Let me tell you something...Tommy Cotton couldn't find Arkansas on a map. He doesn't even live here just keeps a small apartment in Little Rock for his residency. He doesn't care about the people of Arkansas and cares even less about women. He has a very misogynistic view of women. Can't stand the man
I bet he votes by mail in ballot...
Nope. He votes by Male in. Even when Malebox is closed. FCK him, and his Cotton pickin backass wards n views. Total scum bag!

I didn't watch any of it, just have seen snippets.
I think she was right on point basically calling them out telling them it was their job to legislate.
I think it flew in one ear and out the other.
I saw this and thought it was funny.
I think that should be done to all candidates for Federal office.
