@GrassleyPress @ChuckGrassley You, Mr Grassley, are dim-witted, easily tricked, a stooge in the play, doing your part; or perhaps part of the cabal of people who, for as yet unknown reason [but will end up being something to do w power, money, fear & family] are willing to void your oath & subvert the country

@GrassleyPress @ChuckGrassley 2/ To pose such a question and accept such an answer when everything about this man, Trump, this administration, this nominee tell you exactly the opposite is to be willfully unwilling to look at the most basic of facts and truths in this moment.

@GrassleyPress @ChuckGrassley 3/ If you do not know that Trump demanded, and got, assurances of her loyalty is to not understand the basic contours of what is happening to the country these 4 years.
Thus, you must be either a participant in the farce or a mark and a useful idiot.
Maybe both.

@GrassleyPress @ChuckGrassley The question & the answer, are pre-programmed verbiage designed to create distraction & cover.
We have been subjected to this level of transparent nonsense before. It is literally unbelievable. Especially coming from this President, at this time, with this nominee, & this Senate.

@GrassleyPress @ChuckGrassley 5/ To accept this answer as true, as in any way indicative of who this person is and what she will of course do, whether by agreement, or simply by implication, is to be unaware of the remarkable expectations implicit in this travesty of a hearing in the first place.

Why do you

@GrassleyPress @ChuckGrassley 6/ think this hearing is being held, at this time, against the winds and wishes of the nation, against the very real threats that are assailing the country right now - that the Senate cannot find the energy to even consider - while finding boundless energy to engage in this

@GrassleyPress @ChuckGrassley 7/ theatre? This hearing, and this nominee, are not being held for any general imperative need of the country in this time. It is being force fed for very specific reasons.

It is impossible that you, and the rest of the subordinated Senate Republicans, do not know this.

@GrassleyPress @ChuckGrassley 8/ She is here, & this hearing is happening for precisely one reason. For her vote on issues the GOP perpetually looses at the ballot box, & so must impose/enforce on the country via the courts.
If she was not a lock to do her duty, to Trump, and to the GOP she would not be here.

@GrassleyPress @ChuckGrassley 9/ Three of these issues have been made astonishingly explicit. The rush to get her appointed before the election is transparent.
She is expected to vote
a) to overturn ACA
b) to overturn or disrupt Roe
c) to reject the will of the people &certify Trump's assaults on the election

@GrassleyPress @ChuckGrassley 10/ The question I hope someone will ask is what is her understanding of why she is here, now, and why the 'White Rabbit' rush to install her at this time.
Even in the normal power play, she could have been installed post election. But that is not good enough. She is needed now.

@GrassleyPress @ChuckGrassley 11/ Is she will not forcefully announce that she will recuse herself from these immediate and imperative issues...Especially any issues that involve Trump and the election...be sure that she is announcing her fealty to the one who has appointed her, and the party that needs her.

@GrassleyPress @ChuckGrassley 12/ It is sick and transparent what is happening. It is notable that none of the express will of the citizenry has any impact on the doings of this relentless GOP power-hungry cabal.

The mask is off.
The teeth are bared.
It’s a mad dash to the end line.
The winner takes all.
