I really hope she gets the position. Been writing to my senators to back her nomination.

It's evident, especially with that one guy from Oklahomia who admitted she is qualified but he's scared of her stance on abortion.

I hope she gets it, too. I think she will. Reid says he has the votes. We'll see.

Coburn is so fucking crazy. He started his remarks with a story about one Senator's twin granddaughters who were born at 30 weeks and are now thriving, and how awesome their potential is. (Never mentioning that according to him, their greatest potential is as future forced breeding stock.)
