Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Amy! You go, Girl! [View all]dsc
(52,117 posts)33. Every single, solitary senator who ran for President
every last damn one of them, voted for fewer of those nominations than she did. Even Bennett who is the most moderate of the bunch voted for fewer than she did. And, yes we Goddamn well can and should keep them empty before putting on anti gay judges. I bet if instead of the Family Research Council it was the Conservative Citiezens council which endorsed that judge you wouldn't be saying go ahead and confirm. Both Franken and Smith who represent her state voted for fewer than she did (by percent not number). It wasn't a gotcha question. First, she should know his name but that isn't actually the questioners problem it was her utter ignorance of any policy demonstrated in that interview.

bollocks, you are playing semantic games, plus injecting your own sexism by applying 'smarmy'

might be a cultural thing, I am US-born but London raised, it is most often applied to women
