    The "media" is asking a lot of stupid questions about Amy. Has a "reporter" looked into her record as a judge?

    In addition: "And if there aren't enough hours in the day for her to work and mother those kids, when she portrays herself as a home-centered Catholic who puts family over career, isn't she telling a lie?"

    What does that have to do with her qualifications? When the law means whatever you want it to mean knowing what it was written to mean is irrelevant.

    My biggest question is her apparent meteoric rise. I think vast experience on the bench is an important qualifications for a SCOTUS nominee and she doesn't appear to have a lot of that real world experience

    You should be a reporter and ask those questions.

    Why aren't the people who hold those jobs asking them? They are stumbling around attacking her faith and children.

    It does, in any case, send an important message: Women cannot work outside the home, and be good mothers simultaneously.

    One hopes that women will remember this message from Democrats, when the former go to the polls this November...

    Wow where did that claim come from 1950? They have already attacked her religion why not motherhood. Many of them seem to see no benefit in fatherhood so what the hell.

    They won't? They spent a day questioning Kavanaugh about farting.
