    She cannot comment on potential cases one way or the other. It is not that she doesn't know.

    Because it's settled law. Nobody questions that it's illegal to intimidate voters.

    there is a statute against it, but the facts leading to the charge and conviction can change.

    murder is illegal too...but cases get heard all the time

    You don't know what you're talking about. There is no dispute that voter intimidation or murder are illegal. The dispute is if X situation constitutes voter intimidation (or murder). But not that it's illegal.

    You're talking B.S.

    BTW, don't you owe me a quote or retraction? You made a statement. Don't just run away from it as if you hadn't.

    yep and those issues and cases come before the court. Thus she can’t talk about them

    None of your complaints about her fall within the scope of these hearings. Democrat senators are way out of line on this...

    She CAN however acknowledge that the laws exist.

    She has refused to do that..or doesn't know the law

    It's a politically charged question that has no relevance to her qualifications. The only reason someone would ask such a question is to use her as a political prop. She is smart enough to recognize this and not let the democrats use her as a prop.

    She can't answer questions on issues that might come before the Court. Its pretty simple. But the left doesn't get it. They never do. But from the questions from the left it does show what the left is looking and what they expect from a Justice. They don't want any judge that will rule governed by the constitution. They want judges that will rule on their policies no matter what the constitution states. Thats why they don't like her.

    She was continually goated by the left to make comments on how she would rule on current political situations that might come before her court. She can't answer those. S

    Yeah, right.

    Why is it only questions from the left are the problem? If you don't even know what the Ginsburg rule is you should read it.

    Is it illegal to rob a bank?
    I wouldn't want to prejudice a hearing.
    Is it illegal to shoot a complete stranger on 5th ave.
    I wouldn't want to prejudice a hearing.

    I would expect that she know the five freedoms guaranteed by the constitution. She failed that. If she doesn't have the first Amendment at her command she has no business being on any court.

    Freedom of the Press, free assembly, speech, religion and right to petition the government.

    On that note, she said that she believe in the well being of a child starting at conception throughout their lives. Let's say all abortions stop and the babies the mothers are unable to care for all end up for adoption to a loving family as we so often hear as the alternative. There are nearly a half million children in orphanages in the US with a quarter of them considered good candidates for adoption. If the current levels can't be adopted who do you suppose is going to adopt the new arrivals?
    Anti-abortion people are not pro life. If they were there'd be no kids praying to be adopted. They are just pro birth.

    Oh, so you know what the answer should have been?

    How the hell is that question relevant? It's about as relevant as 'Spartacus' Corey Booker's ridiculous question, "do you condemn white supremacy!" :roflol:

    Do you seriously think that unwanted pregnancies didn't increase after abortion was introduced into the health system and made widely legal across the country?
