The Democrat Utopia

I think the question served two purposes - first, indirectly gaining insight into how Judge Jackson would potentially rule in cases related to transgender/gender rights/"progressive politics." Second, partisan political points to rile up conservatives. The latter has become common place in these hearings. I don't know which intent Sen. Blackburn was aiming for but I have my inclinations...

I don't personally get too caught up in the gender identity debate. I don't give a rip what someone wants to identify as. I'll do my best to accommodate their preference, but I'm also not going to apologize for defaulting to man/woman, because I think that's how the majority of people view themselves.

I am supporter of transgender rights, though, specifically the ability to work and have equal opportunities without being discriminated against. So if Sen. Blackburn shares that viewpoint and wants to work towards a less discriminatory world then great! But, that's definitely not the vibe given off by the line of questioning.

Too often these hearings are used to score political points and sometimes far worse agendas are on display. This hearing will not be different, although to be fair, this one seems far less contentious than the last three….so far. I thought Barrett was impressive and she destroyed the committee. The Kavanaugh hearing ended up a joke and was embarrassing. 

 
It's been a long time since I read much about the Black Hebrew Israelites, but I thought they (for the most part) were not a group of "vicious and violent Jew haters" and that the reputation was largely the result of some extremist fringes of their group.

Like, to be a Black Hebrew Israelite I don't think it comes with the qualification of being a vicious, violent Jew hater. But like I said it has admittedly been awhile since I looked into them.

In much the same way that Westboro Baptist Church doesn't define Christianity, the hate group extremist sects of Black Hebrew Israelites do not define the movement as a whole. There are no doubt sects which are radical, hateful, violent and dangerous (including the ones from the Covington Catholic high school incident at the capitol a few years ago), and all of this is easily found by looking at SPLC's list of hate groups, the anti-defamation league, really just any single google search.

BUT. Here's the kicker... none of those groups are even related to the African Hebrew Israelites Jackson is referring to :lol: completely separate entities, the latter being a wellstanding community in Israel, recognized by their Foreign Ministry for being effective contributors to the country, and are pro-Israel.

Archy thoughtlessly bringing some seriously garbage content into this thread with that one.

But the Kavanaugh hearing did provide us this gem from SNL.

Nah he'd be wrong either way. It actually just turns out that he was double wrong on this one, first by defining an entire non-homogenous group only by its most extreme fringe, and second by referring to a completely separate entity than Judge Jackson.

 
Yep...you're an idiot too.


McConnell slammed the liberal groups that have supported Jackson, and he criticized her for refusing to take a position on the size of the nine-member court, even though that decision is ultimately up to Congress. Some advocacy have pushed for enlarging the court after three of President Donald Trump’s nominees cemented a conservative majority.
