Why did ACB allow Despicable Dick Durbin to frame the Floyd incident as racism?

I’m tired of people who are politically center or conservative allowing the Dims to frame the George Floyd incident as an unquestionable racist incident.
Despicable Durbin framed his Floyd question to ACB as if the incident was already determined to be a white racist cop killing a black man. We know the motivation or reasons behind the death of George Floyd is still undetermined. Many sane Americans believe it’s just another incident of a police officer not being properly trained or not following the proper procedures for restraining a suspect. To this day the lawyers representing George Floyd have yet to present evidence to the public that shows officer Chauvin to be a racist and this is where ACB should have shut Durbin down with his presumption that Chauvin is a racist.

She's not proffering her own opinion on anything. She's answering questions within the confines of her judicial responsibility. If she'd opined there, the Dems would have pounced on her and hard.

Durbin is a scum bag and acb did well.

This is purely about optics. Not worth having that discussion at all.

Understand but she could have shut down the Floyd BS by asking Durbin where's the proof of racism in Mr Floyd's death. In other words she backhands Durbin by saying there's no proof of racism in the George Floyd death so what's your question? Then she says I will not offer an opinion if Durbin were to attempt to rework his race baiting question.

No, then she would have been inserting herself into the discussion instead of being exempt from it.

Every question is a trap and must be answered neutrally without bias or opinion

Nope. Nope. Nope.
They aren't being confirmed, she is. This is not the time or place for her to correct them on anything other than judicial interpretation or precedent.
She's spent all morning invoking the RBG stance on specific cases, if she opines there, she opens herself up to a shite storm of trouble.
She answered correctly and needs to stay the course. Don't give the Dems any fodder.

That's the exact sound byte the dims went to plaster the airways with. Claiming ACB is blinded by white privilege and unable to recognize systemic racism and it's effects on all minorities / marginalized people. Therefore, she can't be a fair Justice for all people and must recuse herself.

I had the same frustration with her answer but hopefully she was just avoiding taking the bait. While it would be satisfying to have her lay out the true facts on this specific issue not sure it is the right time or place for that. It would only make her a lightning rod for protests and cancel culture.
Also maybe she is not up to speed on the details due to being a busy person and she only knows the media version of the story. The true story takes a lot of effort for the average person to becoming aware of it.
Her 2nd amendment answers more than make up for this.

If we were still operating in the decorum of the pre Trump era I would 100% agree but this political grandstanding by Dims needs to be reigned in and ACB had every right in today's political environment to set Durbin's arse straight. Make an example of that feeble fool.

If she would have done that she probably doesn’t get confirmed. That would have been idiotic.

I agree with you on a personal level.
But, procedurally, the Dems will all vote no on her, and she'll still be confirmed. That much is set in stone barring some unforeseen shock.
What we don't need is for her to provide Dems election fodder to be used against vulnerable Repubs or Trump on Nov 3. We don't need Dems and the media portraying Trump's pick and the new Justice as anything other than qualified and judicially responsible and their new favorite: temperamentally fit.
And trust me, I'd love to see her take a flame thrower to their bullshite like we all know she can. But there is more at stake than just her confirmation.

I was surprised at her take on that - agreed that racism was afoot and her black kids were warned about it.
Really surprised

Not a chance - even if she were oblivious, the people preparing her for likely assertions would certainly have briefed her on them.
I can understand not directly challenging them - the other senators can do that - but I am still surprised at the degree to which she agreed with the 'systemic racism' baloney.

clearly you havent been paying attention, nothing matters to the hive and truth and honesty are concepts they dont understand

If you’ve ever done a deposition or anything similar the lawyers advise you to only answer what is asked in the most direct and succinct way possible. Don’t offer opinions or ad lib or get caught up on all their preamble and whatever other flourish they spew around the actual question.
In other words, just answer the question amd don’t rise to any bait. She’s doing great.

Better answer would have been, "The video was awful. What happened to George Floyd should happen to no man.IF race turns out to have played a role, it would add a thick layer of revulsion to an already terrible situation. Without knowing all the facts, my family did discuss race relations based solely on appearances in that video. Racism is abhorrent!"

Because she is a judge, not a politician. She can have an opinion but best not to express it. Look at that "judge" in the Flynn case right now. I do not want that on the supreme court.
