by Noah It's pretty stunning to some people that a nominee to the Supreme Court or any court would evade a question by saying they "don't recall." It was a tactic used in the Watergate hearings and led to perjury charges in a case or two. More recently such suspect individuals as Jeff Sessions and Scooter Libby have said they "don't recall" during Congressional hearings, but a nominee to the Supreme Court? At a confirmation hearing? The Kavanaugh Circus wasn't far enough? What Amy Coney Barrett did crosses a line even in corrupt Washington quarters. It's the kind of thing accused criminals resort to, not court nominees, unless they are the kind of judges that might as well be wearing a "For Sale" sign. In that sense, perhaps we should thank Back Alley Amy for making it clear as to what kind of Supreme Court "justice" she wants to be. People in my generation first became aware of that slimy loophole back in those aforementioned Watergate hearings when Richard Nixon's tapes revealed him advising a fellow criminal that, when encountering an incriminating question, they could "always say you don't recall." When Amy Coney Barrett chose to take that approach to answering a question from Senator Kamala Harris at her confirmation hearing Tuesday, the question was whether or not Barrett had heard or seen Trump make comments about wanting a justice who would vote to end the Affordable Care Act aka Obamacare. Barrett's answer, "I don't recall hearing about or seeing such statements" was legal but also beyond the pale. You'd have to have been literally, not just figuratively, living under a rock to have missed Trump's multiple statements about the matter. Barrett also might as well have been a mobster taking the 5th and saying "I refuse to answer on the grounds that it may incriminate me" or asserted Attorney-Client privilege and just said that Trump is her client, which, for all intents and purposes, he is, right up to representing him in any future election or tax evasion cases. But, make no mistake, Amy Coney Barrett is officially adopting a mobster lifestyle. In that, she is no different than anyone who has willingly entered the orbit of Donald Trump, his party, and his whole crime family. She tainted herself the moment she sat down with him. She has now officially signed up with gangsters and grifters, and embraces those for whom such things as racism, having anti-choice, anti-LGBTQ, anti-voting rights, and anti-healthcare views, and making excuses for domestic terrorists are not, to say the least, deal breakers when it comes to support or voting. Amy Coney Barrett is a perversion, a perversion of alleged American ideals, and a would-be perversion of justice.
