U.S. Politics

I think she's not terrible, which means a Republican senator will probably accuse her of wanting to kill cops or something.

This is going to suck but Republican Senate Leader at the time (Paul Ryan) heartily went to bat for her during her D.C. District Court nomination.  What's worse, the two are "family" by way of marriage (must be that party of abe lincoln thing):

“Our politics may differ, but my praise for Ketanji’s intellect, for her character, for her integrity is unequivocal,” Ryan said at her December 2012 nomination hearing. “She’s an amazing person, and I favorably recommend her consideration.”

-Didn't do any research on the group to whom she'd be speaking
-Heard this in the introduction, "Now they're going on about Russia and Vladimir Putin is Hitler they say that's not a good thing." and still went out there
-Heard chants of "Putin! Putin! Putin! Putin!" and still went out there

In her defense, she's not bright.

Did he ever comment on why he did?

Roe v Wade has 72% support nationally and there's not a single state where banning abortion has majority support. And yet this fails 48 to 46 in the Senate. loldemocracy

My guess would be the bill is incredibly overly broad in terms of allowing abortion.

I'm pro-choice but the "abortion on demand and without apology crowd" needs to get a freaking grip as that's totally outside the trimester framework of Roe.

The bill could not go 1 inch further than Roe and it would still die in the current Senate.

The legislation literally codified legal abortions up until the due date.

I'm saying even if it didn't go any further than RvW it still wouldn't have passed.
