However, she was asked for an NDA, an oath of allegiance and loyalty, and unquestioned subservience in her role as handmaiden to serve only the needs of her benefactor.As she gave birth to only five children I find it interesting that no one asked her if she used birth control.
No one asked her if she had an abortion.
No one asked her if she's pro-death penalty.
No one asked if she thought her daughters should be arrested, booked, charged and prosecuted for murder if they had/have an abortion. And if convicted subject to the death penalty.
No one asked her the personal questions required to expose her hypocrisy.

None of those would be at all appropriate questions, and she would be fully entitled to indignantly object to their being asked. The reason they were not asked is because no one on the committee would be silly enough to ask such questions.
Not to mention the childish pettiness...The hypocrisy of conservatives aside, this shows just how broken the political system is. We need serious reform and we're not going to get it.
MY point. Nor should she presume to think it appropriate to interfere in the privacy of other women when she's on the bench.
This is precisely why such questions should have been asked.
I read some time ago that the conservatives goal is not to outlaw abortion on a federal level, but to turn the issue back to each of the individual states.So soon women will now have two choices: death in a botched back-ally abortion or death by complication brought on by not having access to medical care with no insurance should they decide to go through with the pregnancy.
Win for the Republican theocrats. The rest of us who believe in America, not so much.
I understand where you are. I refuse to give in to the likes of Trump. Trump will be defeated at some point in time.. Trump's place as a villain has been secured. His great great grandchildren will not want to claim kin.Mitch mcconnell makes me want to puke, the hypocrites are all fucked in the head and I have no hope for the future of humanity.
2020 did it. I had a sliver of hope left, it's burnt and the ashes pissed on.
My species kinda fucking sucks.

I refuse to give up my optimism. I will never give in to Trump and his supporters.
I understand you are hurting. It pisses me off that we have this new "not qualified" justice on the court. We have to hope that Roberts plus one more will grow a pair and vote for what they know is right and not rubberstamp Trump's plan to develop a Trump dictatorship.
I didn't say they were inappropriate because they were private matters (they actually aren't all).
They (with the possible exception of the "pro death penalty" question) are inappropriate because they are not enquiring either of her professional qualifications, her history with legal cases, or of how she would see herself approaching decision making as a justice of the Supreme Court. Those are the only sorts of questions that should be asked in a SCOTUS confirmation hearing.
Elections have consequences. If this is what you voted for in 2016--or if you didn't vote--suck it up and deal with the results.
