She's been a judge long enough to merit consideration for the post. As long as Dems and GOP divide our country, conflict will continue in our nation's capital. Too much centralized government anyway. Why is rapist Greitens on the ballot?

She is more than qualified, in fact more qualified than some other justices. Her record is well within guidelines set forth by the justice department.

She may be equally qualified to Sotomayor, Kagan, and Breyer, but she is not nearly as qualified as the good ones. And Roberts does not count as a good one, only borderline. Not even close to the skillset of Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, or Barrett.

It's done finally! I feel for her, not being recognized for her ability but for her race and sex. That's just wrong! I don't care if she's a purple leprechaun if she can do the job! Here's hoping

A purple leprechaun would know what a woman is, and be capable of providing a definition. She is not qualified for anything, except forwarding the Socialist Agenda. The reason she can't define a woman, is because next week, the Left may have to alter the definition of woman, for their devious creed.

no one should ever be picked for such an important position based on their gender and/ or race, but only on their qualification for the job. She will never know if she is the best person for the job, or just filling a quota. No one should ever demean themselves like that.

Max the fact that you consider it siding with pedophiles that she went with probations recommendations is rather interesting. What I find sad is you consider people who won't agree with you as pedo's. Kind of like democrats calling people Nazis. Look in the mirror cause I am sure God is disappointed

Max the fact that you call anyone who disagrees or does something you dislike a pedophile is just as bad as the democrats calling everyone a Nazi. She didn't favor them she followed probations recommendation more than prosecution. Please look at yourself and question if God would be proud of you.

JH, she is the one who releases pedophiles. Horrible choice for any justice position, even at a county level. Is that over your head? Or like her, do you support pedophiles?

going to be honest Max kind of weird that you went straight to sexualizing her. You got something you want to talk about there?

JH says she is a strong Judge and public defender. I disagree with that. I don't even want to see her twerking.

I mean while you have a point about using gender and race in the decision process this is nothing new when it comes to Supreme Court justices. Secondly I am not sure that I would characterize her as unqualified by any means, she has a strong law history from judge to public defender, to her clerking

Israel is a safe haven for American Jew pedophiles who escape justice in the US by fleeing to Israel. Sexual predators like Weinstein, Epstein, Phil Spector, Eric Greitens all committed horrific crimes against their female victims. Only Greitens remains free, and he's running for the US Senate.

Missouri Governor Parson signed legislation making it illegal to boycott Israel's nefarious businesses operating in Missouri, while Israel has become a safe haven for American pedophiles. ICL, Amdocs operate freely in Missouri, and now we've got Eric Greitens, a violent rapist, running for the US

If she supports Biden agenda and can't tell the difference between woman and man she is just as bad as he is and supports the destruction of the country.

There isn’t even a vacant spot yet, it can’t even be legal. And she supports pedophiles with lighter sentences. Absolutely horrifying someone who can’t even define what a woman is would possibly be on the highest court in the land.

First of all its common to nominate and vote on another judge when one announces retirement that's how we seated justice Scalia. Secondly how would you define a woman. If its someone who can give birth then you remove women who are barren or have lost their ovaries due to medical conditions

Because she will not uphold and enforce the Constitution. That is the Primary Function of a Supreme Court Justice. She is a failure before she gets there. But she won't do any more damage than Breyer did.

Not since the Great Depression has wealth inequality in the US been so acute, Top 0.1% now worth as much as the bottom 90%. Prior to Reagan and trickle-down economics in the mid-80's, the bottom 90% held over 35% and the top 0.1% about 10%. And yet, the wealthiest among us still want more!

Nothing the Democrats have done of offered has ever helped the majority of the people. Obamacare caused my healthcare to skyrocket and quality to plummet. Democratic scandals, such as those seen in Minnesota with the Somalians, far too common. It's past time to support out President.

Prior to the Affordable Care Act, insurance companies routinely denied coverage for pre-existing conditions. How exactly does that reduce the quality of coverage?

Right ... other than the 19th Amendment, Social Security, GI Bill, Medicare, Medicaid, Securities and Exchange Act, Rural Electrification Act, unemployment benefits, Voting Rights Act, Head Start & student loans, Republicans? Tax cuts for corporations & the wealthy.

If the revenue isn't replaced (along with cuts) with a flat/consumption/fair tax, then it's a waste of time. When it comes to spending money, republicans can waste it as much as the democrats.

It would probably be replaced by higher regressive sales tax rates.

Governors tax policies are misguided. Capital Gains and income tax elimination will shift the tax burden to lower and middle income folks. Saying this is to attract new business is a weak argument.

He's continued Missouri's race to the bottom with Texas and Florida when it comes to this culture war bull, his proposition to eliminate income tax is fake populist pandering, in reality it's a rug pull on the poor and a handout for the rich.
