This Is A Great Day for America - Shame 50% of Americans Can't See It.....

Casting bluster and hyperbole to the wind, human beings only catch a glimpse of TRUE GREATNESS on relatively rare occasions. But imo, tonight we will all get a chance to witness the ascendance of true greatness and excellence when Amy Coney Barrett is sworn in as the next Justice to serve on the Supreme Court. I had been hearing about this woman for years, and as such I already had lofty expectations regarding her. But when ACB testified for 2 straight days before the Senate Judiciary Committee, enduring hostile questioning 50% of the time, I was absolutely blown away by her intellect, charm, grace under pressure, and perhaps most of all, a demonstrated understanding of the law that perhaps no other nominee since Judge Robert Bork had displayed.
I remember watching ABC's coverage of the 2016 Presidential election on 11/8/16 (I had so much damn fun that night), and I still remember when the returns started indicating that Hillary Rodham Clinton would not win. ABC Correspondent and Louisiana's very own Cokie Roberts (RIP) became unhinged and literally kept repeating, "None other than President Barack Obama himself said that Hillary Clinton was the most qualified person to ever run for the Presidency. This just proves that MEN will not vote for a qualified woman.
No, Cokie, you were wrong. Men did not want to vote for THAT WOMAN, because we knew she was a phony, a crook, a shill, and perhaps indirectly even a murderer. You had your facts wrong, Cokie Roberts.
That's one more reason why tonight is such a great night. Amy Coney Barrett's gender is the LEAST of her vast and impressive qualities. Like I said earlier, we don't get a chance to see TRUE GREATNESS very often, but tonight is one of those nights. And for those of us men AND women who don't give a damn about identity politics, we recognize and rejoice over the selection of a truly great American WOMAN who will - GOD WILLING - serve on the Supreme Court with distinction for decades to come.
Welcome to the United States Supreme Court, Amy Coney Barrett. Imo, you are the best judge that President Trump has nominated so far.
tl;dr (I don't care. I'm stoked.).

I’m a woman and didn’t vote for that loser. I absolutely love President Trump.

The best part is the left always screaming about how we need more women in positions of power. Then freaking out that a woman is about to be put in a position of power

Let me go ahead and get this out there. You can flame away if you want - I don't care.
Hillary Rodham Clinton is the "spirit of Jezebel" of America.

Wrong kind of woman, they meant women with the "correct" kind of views.

The best thing about ACB is that taxpayers only have to pay her 70 cents for every dollar we have to pay male justices.

I watched parts of her confirmation and agree that she seems to be a good fit as far as one who holds the constitution as rule of law and not the flavor of the moment.
She seems highly intelligent and handled her self very well.
Your enthusiasm is a bit more than mine but good on ya.
I am also looking forward to the dems melts lol

I hope it seers Clinton’s soul that while she and her foundation were stealing money from Haiti, ACB was actually changing a couple of Haitian kids lives.

What I thought was fantastic was she didn't even need any notes. Priceless when she held up a blank pad of paper.

I hope you're right. I hadn't thought about the Haiti connection that those two women share. I mean, not today, anyway.
Sometimes the good guys (and girls) win one.

The Democrats are total hypocrites. If they truly stood for what they claim to believe, the confirmation vote would've been 100-0 in favor of ACB.
The Democrats are nothing but a band of gypsies, tramps, and thieves.
