Three SCOTUS nominees said that Roe was the law of the land during their hearings. If the senate does not confirm one, who is going to stop them from being the *acting* Sec of ___..?
I believe it was reported that the nominees were told by GOP senators to play it cool and stick to the script. They know how bad the nominees are, but they also do not want to defy DT and/or want the nominees for their own interests. This way they can overlook the range of ignorant to psychopathic while they confirm them.
It's not all or nothing. We are partially screwed but how bad it gets depends on what we and senators do. From worst to least bad: Most important nomination to stop is likely Vought because of the harm he can do. Hegseth is a cartoon train wreck that needs derailling. Bondi will probably get in and we will just have to live with it. Rubio as about as good as we can hope for.
I worked with alcohol addicts which made me give up drinking. I don’t know the logic of give me this job that I proved time and time again that I’m unqualified for it and then I’ll stop drinking? That is very dangerous thinking
Isn't it the ruler class that keeps saying to behave/dress/prepare for the job you want, not the job you have? If he was serious about it, shouldn't he have quit his bad habits to show he is capable enough and reasonable enough BEFORE being considered for the job? Isn't that the entire premise behind that philosophy? Gosh, if only those with the keys to the economy and the political machine could comprehend irony...
Imagine going for a job interview and saying you won't answer hypotheticals. You'd never get the job. Every job interview I'd done has had hypotheticals. Bondi perjured herself repeatedly, or she's the least informed person in America and has been living in a bubble for the past decade. Bondi also didn't know the 14th Amendment and said she'd have to look into it. Birthright citizenship is screwed.
If Bondi is an attorney and has been FL attorney general, but doesn't know the 14th amendment, she's both dangerous and ignorant. Or, indeed, she could just be lying All of this is disqualifying.
Everything is "hypothetical" until it happens. How else can you get an idea of what someone would do when confronted with a situation in the future? If someone told me they "won't answer a hypothetical", I'd say; "Well, then assume I literally won't be approving you for this role".

If so haven't these people including Trump and most of the GOP defied it already? Wouldn't failure to uphold it or to follow it's tenant disqualify them from their positions?
Not unless the GQP acts on it, democrats can't force them out of office alone. Remember, Trump was caught red handed twice breaking the law and even the Republicans said he was guilty - BUT they refused to vote against him in Congress. "Republican" means "the law does not apply to you."
There is video, of Vought (sp?) being asked if he will uphold the Constitution rather than tRump, and he wouldn't give a simple 'yes' answer, for the longest time. Pathetic.

Thanks so much 🇺🇸
Maddow actually has done the most thorough look at each of the nominees and... damn.
Thanks Belle!
The GOP is looking for one nominee they can vote against to signal that they have some independence left. But they will approve most if not all of Donnie's picks.
Pete Hegseth is their lamb.
It amazes me that anyone thinks ANY news reporter is qualified to run the pentagon. This isn't a job scooping ice cream at DQ that can be picked up after a few shifts.

Thanks, Belle.
Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.
