1. 5 justices lied to get the job!!!!! that should be a bigger story!!! n/t

[MontanaMama]

16. THIS.

Why is this not the subject of the day??? JFC. They fucking LIED. At least someone in power is saying it. I'm plenty pissed at Sen Gillibrand from the Al Franken debacle...but I appreciate her candor here.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

21. Lying on a job application or interview is grounds for termination most places.

[Polybius]

42. Except it's hard to prove a lie

Did any specifically say that they wouldn't overturn Roe?

[Rebl2]

31. Yes Democrats

should start speaking everyday about the fact that five justices lied to get on the Supreme Court.

[Polybius]

41. Out of the 6 conservative Justices, who's the one that you think who didn't lie?

ACB?

[JohnSJ]

2. It is a life and death moment, and that isn't hyperbole.

[Hekate]

3. Well done, Senator

[hlthe2b]

4. Her passion is the right response. I am so damned tired of reporters and others talking about this

as though they were reporting on a routine decision that did not have a decades-long impact on the health, wellness and civil rights, and freedom of half the populace and the potential to destroy what is left of our democracy.

I'll leave it there because my BP is rising as I type.

[smirkymonkey]

18. +1000

Agree with every word. And I can't say more either because of the same reason. I have never been so furious in my life.

I think I am going to spend the rest of the evening watching movies about serial killers so I can calm the fuck down.

[Novara]

45. The thing that astonishes me is how furious I am and I saw this coming

We ALL saw it coming but having it be real is a whole 'nother level of outrage.

The thing that outrages me the most is Alito's absolute contempt for women.

[smirkymonkey]

48. It's been like watching a massive interstate car wreck in slow motion. You knew it was going to

happen, you saw it coming, you knew the fallout would be devastatating, but there was nothing you could really do to stop it.

And now that it has happened, you are just left with the feeling of shock and disbelief that you had so little control over something that would affect your life and the lives of so many other in such a tremendous way. It's almost like you have to go numb to deal with the enormity of it all.

And Alito is just a vile, disgusting, misogynistic POS who should be...I can't say what I think should happen to him without getting banned.

[Novara]

49. I completely agree

I'm well past childbearing and I had a tubal in my 30s anyway, but the very idea of how little they think women deserve respect and autonomy infuriates me.

[hamsterjill]

34. Very well said.

We need the emotion and the rage!

[LakeArenal]

5. Not only lied to get the job, lied to do exactly what they are lying about

[patphil]

6. I'm proud to have her a Senator representing my state.

You tell 'em Kristen!
Time for American Women to stand and deliver.

Hey, it's a guy band, but the message is clear:

[housecat]

22. Always a treat to see and hear Freddie and Queen. Thanks.

[dchill]

7. Inarguable.

[TreasonousBastard]

8. Never seen her so fired up before. Send her and Klobuchar...

on the road wirh that fire.

[demmiblue]

9. Elizabeth Warren, too!

[Duncan Grant]

10. Finally! Leadership and courage of conviction. Inspiring to watch.

Learn and sing this message like your favorite song.

[Scrivener7]

11. Wow. That was beautiful.

[JudyM]

47. Absolutely was. More of this, please.

[madaboutharry]

12. 100%

Thank you, Senator.

[FakeNoose]

13. Holy shit! That is amazing! She sounds just like me

... except I only say these things in front of the bathroom mirror, or in front of like-minded family members. She's saying this in front of TV cameras for the whole world to see.

Way to go Kirsten!

[brooklynite]

14. So.....we LIKE Senator Gillibrand now?

Its hard to keep up.

[demmiblue]

15. It's not that hard. Really.

[Celerity]

17. de rec nt

[questionseverything]

19. Define "like"

She is correct on this issue

[IronLionZion]

24. People are more complex than all good or all bad

Especially on the Dem side. There are plenty in the GOP who are just bad.

[Leith]

26. sigh...

We like what she said here. We're 100% with her on this.

We do not like what she did to former senator Franken. What he did many years ago, namely take a humorous picture with another entertainer without touching her, was so much less than several rethug members of Congress have done before and since then without any consequence at all. Gillibrand led the charge and had him cashiered out of the Senate.

Did that clear up any confusion you may have had?

[msfiddlestix]

33. you just can't help yourself, can you?

sigh.

[Carlitos Brigante]

37. The sad thing is, I'd be willing to bet, they're thinking "Nailed it!!!" nt

[msfiddlestix]

38. it is sad to observe. It is also sad to know,it gives them a false sense of superiority, no matter

how undeserved, they boast of being "in the know" but they don't seem to be interested in the most important part of any strategy requiring unifying for common purpose, which should be a priority of any "insider".

Patronizing and practice of condescending is not a unifying strategy.

[SunImp]

40. +1 Unfortunately there are more than a handful of Duers like that around.

[tenderfoot]

44. +100,000,000,000

Oh you got that right!

[Takket]

35. I like her STATEMENT. Let's put it that way

[Polybius]

43. I've met her in a restaurant

She's super nice.

[jaxexpat]

20. She has fine points and rapier rhetoric.

Too bad she honed them on Franken's senatorial career.

[RicROC]

23. 2nd Class citizens should not pay full taxes.

What would happen to the power structure if 2nd class citizens pay only 3/5 of the amount of taxes owed?

[Stuart G]

25. Wonderful Post..K & R...3 minutes, 20 seconds...

[sheshe2]

27. She is on fire. nt

[sop]

28. Most of the women I know are also on fire.

[sheshe2]

29. Same here.

[Upthevibe]

30. Excellent! n/t

[tishaLA]

32. Fan Effing Tastic

what a righteous speech

[CrispyQ]

36. Five of them lied & said they wouldn't do what they wanted to do all along.

Too bad we don't have the numbers to do anything about it. Maybe after November?

[Pacifist Patriot]

39. I loved it! But I wish a key point would be added to these empassioned pleas.

Corpses would have more bodily autonomy than women of child-bearing age if this ruling is finalized. I've stopped a lot of people in their tracks with that one sentence for the last couple of days.

[867-5309.]

46. Good stuff, but curious where she's getting 10 months?

n/t

[budkin]

50. Still can't forgive her for sinking Al Franken

But I appreciate this.
