Not pretty

 Sporadically watching the grilling of Amy Coney Barrett by the US Senate Judiciary Committee, I am disgusted by the performances of Kamala Harris and Diane Feinstein.  Although both know the Republican majority will approve her appointment, they nonetheless continue to ask ridiculous questions they know she can't, or won't, answer.  

With a peerless record and pedigree, she steadfastly sticks to the facts, saying she will not answer hypothetical taunts on cases she has not heard.  Harris and Feinstein keep harping on about abortion, LGBTQ rights, health care and other issues completely unrelated to her qualifications for the position.

They can't attack her on race because of her seven children -- SEVEN! -- two are black.  And they can't attack her on religion because last time anyone checked, religious freedom is enshrined.  It is jarring to see two women attacking another.  It doesn't do us any good and renders our gender shrill and more anti-woman than any man could accomplish.

Coney Barrett does not believe judges should make law.  She believes this is the role of political, elected officials.  She believes -- and rightly so -- that the role of the judiciary is to enforce the law.  This is in sharp contrast to Ruth Bader Ginsberg, who stepped outside her authority and imposed her own wishful beliefs on decisions rendered.  That's exactly what Beverly Mclaughlin did over and over again.  Who do these people think they are?  

I am very impressed with Amy Coney Barrett and her steely resolve.  She is articulate, poised and precise.  Good choice.

Other women these days are not impressive.  For example, once again the incompetent Brenda Lucki is dodging and avoiding the issue of the lobster fishing debacle in Nova Scotia.  She is nowhere to be found, just like she was MIA when that shooting rampage happened in New Brunswick and the Snowbirds crashed in BC.  She's the reason Jason Kenney wants to get rid of the RCMP and create an Alberta provincial police force:  Incompetence.

I also am not impressed with new secretary general of Amnesty International.  Ketty Nivyabandi says she has a single agenda:  Anti-Black and Indigenous racism.  Frankly, there's a lot more to focus on.
