Amy Barrett Discussion Thread

[I_have_purplewood]

reasons I found it cringey:

1) Seemed very staged
2) It's not impressive
3) Notes and preparation aren't weaknesses
4) Republicans jerking themselves off to it

1) Didn't seem so staged to the point of cringy? 
2) On a scale of 1-10 on impressive?  Maybe 6?  She was solid.
3) Fine but give her a tad of credit?
4) There wasn't a ton of jerking off.  Cruz maybe?  And that was cringe worthy.

Just need more Amy Klobbuchar ranting about like Gin and Oxy Pelosi Jr.

Cringe level = That of Pelosi Sr. going all Gin and Oxy Senior Citizen on Wolf Blitzer.

Sounded like a Biden Rally leader at The Villages. 

Sad

nope

[Spracne]

I guarantee she mooted her ass off and was well-prepared by the likes of Cruz (former TX Solicitor General) for the "tough" questions from the Democrats. Other than that, obviously a career law professor should be able to speak extemporaneously about any number of important cases, going back AT LEAST 5 years.

yep.  also why you're a doosh and not as smart as you think you are.  you're ignorant and blinded to the point where you can't be even the least bit partial or objective to an argument and won't even look at the other side.  sad.  it's why the pit sucks.

Yeah, that notes tweet was lol cringe. What a weird thing to get upset about though, it doesn't even have anything to do with her.

I didn't listen to much of this, but she sounded fine aside from very obviously lying during the Harris questioning. I didn't like her perjury tap dancing during that

[Rage Against the McKee]

The bar at this point has been set that as long as a supreme court justice doesn't start slobbering at their hearing screaming about how they like beer they are going to look pretty good.

ugh so cringey

How is that even close to cringey?

Feigning being impressed that a judge nominated to the highest court can quote cases from “years ago.” Regular lawyer dorks like Spracne and Dickstone can quote cases from years ago.

Particularly given that she knew exactly what topics would be at hand. It isn't like there were going to be a bunch of questions about intricate property law precedent.

So why would that make anyone cringe?  So many other things that happened today that are so more worthy of a cringe.

I think he's saying the dumbing down of expectations of one of the greatest legal minds in the country is cringy, not anything she did.

Yes this. The KK tweet was cringey.

Paralegals can.  This was 1000% staged and she should be embarrassed that she needs that guy to run the stunt for her.  Humiliating

[wetwillie]

I was on the fence but dugout is not a political hack, this seems really damning.

[Dugout DickStone]

She is incredibly smart and should be confirmed.  She doesn't need a bunch kietzs cheering for her basic memorization skills.

Hey man I listen and learn here all the time. Just this week sys pointed out a contradiction I had with regards to the Bernie/Biden relationship that made me stop and think and 33 and I had a nice conversation about freaking abortion of all things where I learned something about late term abortion statistics. I just don't need to go into more detail on how cringey I thought that stunt and the reaction was.

I actually wish we had more conservative/different points of view here, I always enjoy hearing from DQ, spracs, and whoever the hell else is willing to be civil while admitting they voted for Trump along with the moderates and libertarians and conmies

[michigancat]

LOL, especially considering Keitz started this

I think many Republicans are just so impressed because they never entertained the prospect of a smart woman before.

[wetwillie]

It sounds like she is a caliber above the last nominee

Significantly.

Oh no, per  BidenVoter FemDem she's just a walking womb and Haitian child trafficker who was allowed to get a couple of diplomas.
