In any event, I love the fact you have Jefferson Beauregard Sessions doing the questioning. Yeah, the same guy who said a white lawyer was a "disgrace to his race" for defending black defendants. And the same guy who said that he thought the KKK was okay until he discovered some of the members smoked weed. The same guy who referred to black lawyers as "boys" and warned a black employee that he "better be careful what you say to white folks." According to testimony, he was just joking. Hillarious. Brillaint move. “But when I look at those cases, I have to say to myself, and I do say to myself, “You know, this could be your grandfather, this could be your grandmother.

Whether she is a racist, or not, is not as important as the fact that she made racist comments and got a pass from the PC police. I think Graham sent a loud warning to the PC purveyors--if we are going to have political correctness, it will apply to everyone. I doubt he accomplished much, but Senator Graham gets a thumbs up from me. I thought Senator Graham’s comments were direct and on point.

Do you really believe she thought that being a wise Latina woman would allow her to make better decisions? Or is her assertion that it was for inspiration more likely? Everyone views everything they face through the prism of their life experiences. The white male experience isn't the default. That's why diversity is important. It's also why appeals courts consist of panels of judges instead of just one. Interesting, though, watching one who was denied a seat on the bench by his racist past lead the charge for the Republicans. Oh come on.
