Graham, how important is your religion and would you be able to give a a fair ruling? Well we all know that answer
hauntednursery
That "I'm about to embarrass you" look in Judge Brown-Jackson's eyes while that human cold sore was talking is just... it's just so perfect.
Treeworm
You gotta be fuckin kidding me
awesomecat42
I wanna know how he would respond if he was asked if he was aware of what separation of church and state was.

If Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz are tied to a bomb and you can only save one of them, where do you go for lunch?

As a hiring manager, my company gets sued if I ask this exact question...

She bitch slapped that bitch with her intelligence.

Do you even constitution?
PrinceMaxx7
The Supreme Court should not be making decisions with their religious beliefs.
BootsDusty
rydecker
He is as creepy as my Uncle Joe. And, let's put him to a "religious" test
TheChunguskaEvent
if the religion involves hatefucking rentboys he's going to ace it
ILaudYourArtisticAbilties
He makes me shameful of the state I live in.
TheChunguskaEvent
right there with you, NC here. So embarrassing
IG1Fields
Like he’s read the Constitution.
Dapperworth
God he's massive piece of shit
andwings2go
Founding fathers were racist slave owning pieces of shit, but were brilliant lawyers that hated the church. She should’ve hammered him...
andwings2go
... into utter embarrassment, he’s not going to vote her in anyway
AllAnusMorissette
MarkSoupial
I wonder how closely Graham follows his own faith
imyellinkimberr
He stated in the meeting that he goes to church three times a year and remarked sarcastically on how that makes him look as a Christian
GravyEducation
There's a pretty famous line about judging others and condemning yourself
nomorehate
Considering Lady G's predilection for young men, not too closely.

What a cheap political manoeuvre. Of course it’s the Republicans.

Man, my FIL is left leaning after all, props to him for really coming around
AggroMonster
What an *attempt at* a cheap political maneuver. She slapped him in the constitutional jaws over asking this ignorant question.
pixelsnader
No it's still an effective maneuver because his voter block will see her as hostile/defensive, rather than him aggressively religious.
DeltaLaw
Is it not a violation of our constitution and he should be punished as such?
MarshmallowFluffernutterPie
No! NO! I cannot accept this!! This is not okay!!
januarylover
1/ We should subject all Republicans to a religious test where they're made to give their wealth to the needy as proof of devotion. & I'm
januarylover
2/ singling out Republicans - because they're the main offenders with this shit.
HisBubbliness
The thing is he knows what he's doing when asking that, despicable as it is.
buttdestroyer
My faith is the good old none of your damn business-ism
bingle19
It's one of the few times I say separation of church and state. No religious prerequisite to hold office. That's the meaning.
ILikeToFindTheAnswers
"One of the few times"? When do you say church and state should not be separated?
bingle19
SOCAS used for things like business or school that religious material can't be present or have religious services etc. That's something els
mrnewbie
i too would like to know the answer to this one .
ConnectToReality
"I only respect the part of the constitution that says I can shoot things" -Conservatives probably
Schitzoflink
It's bc Madam Handmaids Tale spoke at length about her religion and was then questioned about it and Reps dont do context. Just Misdirection
anescient
To be fair, though, he set her up for a good answer.
IainG101
The sad part is that doesn't matter to most of his voters, because they care fuck all for the actual words of the Constitution either....
OMFGWhatHaveWeDONE
I think he was heading somewhere and she cut him off with her "As you know..." answer. Because clearly he DIDN’T SOMEHOW KNOW?!?
sleepinggreenidea
The question wasn't for her. It was for the cameras. He's making a spectacle of this/
androgenoide
The only correct answer.
CrazyCatLad
It's funny how GQP does that. McConnell unintentionally invented a battlecry to use against him... "Nevertheless, she persisted."
wonkysaurusrex
He was trying to put her in a situation that is lose/lose in his eyes. If she says her faith is important to her then how can she judge 1
wonkysaurusrex
Without bias. And if she doesn't, then she lacks conviction. What he wasn't ready for was that she's a well read intelligent person 2
wonkysaurusrex
So the opposite of who the GQP would put in that position.
sleepinggreenidea
No, they want very well read, intelligent, deeply principled, and utterly immoral ideologues on SCOTUS. Even the dumb ones aren't THAT dumb.
SLCtechie
BlueDsc
His expression is the human equivalent of TV static.
shandrono
I've forgotten what resulted in this face and don't know enough about the context to Google it :(
bourbonlife
He thought swearing on the bible was required by law, so Muslims shouldn't hold office. Was dumbfounded when corrected.
shandrono
Oooh yes. Unbelievably ignorant. Thanks
ThatsDrMrBananaGrabberToYou
I remember the interview with this slack-jawed yokel. What a fucking train wreck. Tapper shut him down.
AdrianDunne
but but but... the Bible!
anotherdickat
you can almost hear the teeth popping off the gears in his head...
sleepinggreenidea
This implies he didn't know that rather than knowing perfectly well but still getting that sweet gotcha for Fox when she refused to answer.
Undrave
His thought process is the sound of a potatoe rotating in a microwave

cantthinkofaclevernameatm
I swore on the buyebull
comehomefransbrauder
President Trump did it!
BubblesTheFish
Yes, because he's Christian, but you don't have to swear on the Bible. You can swear on pretty much anything really.
comehomefransbrauder
Lol. His stupid face while the old hamster on the wheel that is his brain was trying to process was hilarious.
FellaWithUmbrella
Yes, that’s the moment he heard it first time.
IAmTheMightyLeon
As though he's ever read the Constitution...
IamNotFunnyNeitherIsMyUserName
Or the bible
BillHubbard
Probably wouldn't understand it if he tried.
rbudrick
I'm sure he has because it's important to know how to cheat the law to him. Dont underestimate these motherfuckers.
Tumescentpie
You know what is worse? That he has absolutely read the constitution and knows what he is doing is wrong.
afatrollofmyown
You don't need to read the constitution or know it to be subservient to corporate power. Which is all Lyndsey does.
itsthebarrelbombdotcom
Nah, that assumes ignorance. He’s a lawyer so he’s thoroughly studied it. He‘s deliberately choosing to ignore it, which I’d argue is worse.
itsthebarrelbombdotcom
Hell, he even spent a few years as a JAG judge and JAG instructor. Which makes this all the more infuriating for him to ask the question.
thereitis101
He knows. It’s to try to make her seem like a godless liberal.
cakeordeathdeathimeancake
but she proved she has!
Zulljin4
Oh he's read it. He just doesn't like it so he chooses to ignore it. And no one holds him responsible for it, so it doesn't really matter.
sailorparkboy
hate to say it, but the same can be said for democrats and the 2nd....

infringed." That's the complete text.
sailorparkboy
and any time biden wants to ban this or that, it's an infringement. "bingo, we're taking away your AR 15". infringement. to me, shall not 1/
sailorparkboy
be infringed means this right cannot be taken away by any means. voting, change or otherwise. no other amendment or right has this clause.
Rips4w
Don't start your comment with a lie.
IamNotFunnyNeitherIsMyUserName
Or the bible
Bmxtucker
I am thoroughly convinced, 70-80% of religious folk (at least Christians) have never read the Bible. Only one or two lines of some verses.
Tumescentpie
Christians and not reading the Bible is the og duo. Christianity is a cult. Not every Christian is a cultist, but it is absolutely a cult.
duffman3335
No. They have it read to them every Sunday. But just the parts that make them feel better about their shitty lives.

We need to take action. More than voting and memeing

I can get the memes. Anyone got the action?

Not voting got us here in the shape that we’re in though.
Trentski
Also memes though
RocMage
iDrawStuff
Well, voting intelligently, anyway.
FourScoreAndSevenBeersAgo
Only. 62%. voted. And it was historically high. It's ridiculous.
colinardo
Canada had a Federal election last year and turnout was 62%. And I'm certain that's below average because of the pandemic. Votes count
FourScoreAndSevenBeersAgo
62% is top 3 in American history.
Iresemblethatremark
More places should be like Australia, where time off to vote + voting is mandatory and there are increasing fines for not doing it.
WhellerNG
Republicans will never allow it. They’d never win again.
JinxRocks
I try to help people get their registrations done and plan on taking people to and from the polls. If we all do this, it will help.

Well let's vote you in and give ya a shot. Probably do better than 90% of peeps in office.

what can we do about it without a multimillion dollar lawyer we need while sitting in a jail cell they put us in when we used our voice?

SaveitforQueenDoppelpoppolus
real talk you want to build a gallows and storm the capitol? lindsay says thats legitimate political discourse
witheredspoon
No, we dont need to go full Republican. Protests and getting involved with grass roots political movements would suffice. Maybe donating!
HaloArchitect
Keep voting progressives in DNC candidate selection, and then voting for those candidates, and getting people who would support them.
sirbartonslady
but only if you're a Republican. If you're not, then you have no rights at all and deserve to die
manamongstyou
If we had 90% voter turn out, these people would not be in office. Unfortunately, no one on the hill gaf about a third of our citizens.
NotAHugeSpider
That's how to beat to gerrymandering. In a big enough wave election, it can backfire overwhelmingly toward the disadvantage party's nominee.
Elsoyyo
If there were an educated and informed electorate these clowns wouldn't be in office.
WhataboutBobWiley
Incorrect. The clowns would use the media to discredit the educated with false narratives
SaveitforQueenDoppelpoppolus
counterpoint in 2020 trump got more votes than any presidential candidate in history except biden. there are a lot of awful people here
manamongstyou
Fair. That was still only 66% of legal voters, tapping the disenfranchised would change a lot. But yes there are plenty of shit people.
MiniYams
I think their point is, there's no guarantee that the 34% remaining splits 17+% dem.
SIGMA920
Trump got record numbers of the GOP voting in 2016, in 2020 he hurt his own turnout and still got more votes than 2016. He still lost.
pgdave
That's really unlikely to be true. It's much more likely that the non-voting population has similar political preferences to voters.
Merkonian
I disagree. The first past the post district based US system is still a choice between bad and worse. You want a general strike/protest 1/2
MacFarlin1920
Get the Trumpies to protest and not vote and I'd say go for it.
Apollad
You need to keep voting the bad, not the worse, then hopefully the worse next round will be as bad as the bad, and the bad a little better.
Merkonian
to demand proportional representation. With just 2 large parties the US is stuck in a cycle were it is better to suppress voting 2/2
pgdave
And how would proportional representation work in the Senate?
PaintedSlate
It wouldn't unless you revised the states themselves. Too disparate in size and too meaningless to Americans. Needs overhauled.
omegabritton
Our system is beyond broken. And those that realize it are taking over.
positiveexposure
Y'all need mandatory voting. Like in first world democratic countries...
minant
Very few countries have mandatory voting.

JoeDepciMowed
Eliminating gerrymandering and these nonsensical voter restriction laws would also be super swell.
ILikedTheirOldStuffBetter
And for God's sake let's make election day a national holiday like most every western democracy.
JoeDepciMowed
That sure would be nice! But...most people do not get national holidays off. What about allotting more than one day for voting?
AccountCreatedToUpvoteDogs
I can take my time voting because in WA we vote exclusively by mailed ballot. I drop mine in the box instead if trust DeJoy's usps though.
IMayNotKnowWhatIAmTalkingAbout
And ranked choice voting, down with the two party system!
Callynd
Election Week makes way more sense. Walmart will be open on Election Day regardless of holiday status.
