So do we ask her husband?

 So, Ms. Amy Coney Barrett has withdrawn into the banality of neutrality when it comes to answering any questions from the Senate Judiciary committee that involve any sort of substance, including decided law, the actual wording of the constitution, and even a recipe for Apple Pie (I'm not fucking with you - read the transcripts yourself).

So if we want an answer to these questions, should we ask her husband?

A lot, but not enough, has been written up about Ms. Barrett's religious beliefs. The republicomplainers on the committee have mentioned over and over again how much they hate the democrats for bringing it all up, when in fact not one of them has done so. I'll bring it up.

Ms. Barrett has been, and probably still is, a "handmaiden" in her strange sect of Christianity. Under the rules of her church the hierarchy is as follows: God, Church, Husband, Family, Country. Now believe it or not, I don't have a problem with this. She can believe and worship as she chooses - that's part of what America is supposed to be about. But it disqualifies her from being a judge in the American model.

Law must come first, and for her it doesn't. She can be many things with this moral compass, but a judge or a justice is not one of them - because her view of justice isn't based upon low - not if her church or her husband say otherwise.

So do we question her husband? Her pastor?

A lot of people will say that my question and my attitude is out of bounds. Well fuck you. I'm sick of this horseshit. The only time anyone ever gives a damn about religious persecution is when they're Christians, and specifically a right-wing version of Christian that seems to have very little to do with the man whose teachings they claim to follow. They don't raise these objections when it's a Mormon, a Jew, a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Mennonite, an Atheist, or anyone else other than some variation of a Baptist Christian, or something further to the right.

If Ilhan Omar were the person being question right now and I asked if we should question her husband the current chair of the committee wouldn't object. He wouldn't even raise an eyebrow.

My question is NOT out of bounds. The attitude behind questioning my civility is the part that's wrong. Ms. Barrett has been put up for a very specific job, with very specific qualifications. She must be without bias, and her beliefs do not allow her to be that.

She can believe what she wants - but she shouldn't be a judge. If she wants that, then we need to examine everything. It's not being sexist when she has made her gender and its position more important than the law.

So WHEN do we question her husband?

Cheap Shots, and I'm doing sake today:

First of all, welcome back the YA Supernatural comic Wapsi Square. It didn't start out as that, but the strip has evolved over the years. It's worth your time.

Also, when do we ask her about the racism?

You know, the racism?

Pardon?

Like, you know, the racism?

President of what, exactly? It sure as fuck isn't America.

Sex just ain't what it used to be.

Or maybe it is.

Oh, and also welcome back the rants of Keith Olbermann, found weekdays on YouTube!

I have to ask, why are these people so afraid of communists when they're propped up by them?

826 people died yesterday of a disease that Mayor Noun-Verb-9/11 said no one is dying of anymore.

Fuck you, chuckles.

For some clarity, understand that Texas (like California) has counties larger than several states.

By the way, there is nothing in Catholicism about "handmaidens".

Drip, drip, drip motherfuckers.

Maybe Ms. Barrett should ask her husband.

Cube, I love ya, but at least one of these groups is lying.

And because I love you, Todd Rundgren and Rivers Cuomo:
