Ben Sasse: This would be confusing to 8th graders.

...

Fuck 8th graders.
In any event, it's not CONFUSING to my SECOND grader. I told him what's happening: "The bad people are trying to put Dolores Umbridge on the Supreme Court so she can help Voldemort win the next election."

HE GETS IT!
You gotta be kidding me. @BenSasse says "Civics is the stuff that doesn't change every 18 months."

OH REALLY? THEN WHY DIDN'T MERRICK GARLAND GET THIS SAME HEARING NOW BEING AFFORDED TO AMY CONEY BARRETT?????
And then he calls religious freedom a test of civics, not politics.

WHICH WOULD BE INTERESTING TO MUSLIMS DENEID ENTRY TO THIS COUNTRY BY BEN SASSE'S PARTY!
On my count: Graham, Grassley, Cornyn, Lee, Cruz, and Sasse have all brought up Amy Coney Barrett's religion.

Literally no Democrat has.

GET THIS RIGHT, @CNN PLEASE!
Sasse argues against judicial "activism"... while supporting a nominee who will overturn a popular health care law passed by the House, 60 Senators, and signed by a President.
Sasse (and Cruz before him) said that the corrective for a court you don't like is voting out congress.

This ignores how Republican judges hack away at the Voting Rights Act.
Sasse wrongly conflates originalism and textualism (which are two different things) and says that it's the "antidote" to "activism"

NONE OF THIS IS TRUE
Now Sasse is going after court packing. says it's 'destroying the system we have now."

The "system" we have no is REPUBLICANS WIN ALWAYS, even when they win FEWER VOTES AT THE POLLS
Ben Sasse was full of crap. Please read this thread to understand.
