“…Senator Susan Collins says she will vote against Judge Amy Coney-Barrett being elected to the Supreme Court. “It’s not a comment on her. It is a comment on the process of rushing through a nomination in such a short time before a presidential election…”

I believe she is in a tight reelection race. She must think this improves her chances.

The hearing is a lot better today. Reasonable questions from Senators Graham and Feinstein. Feinstein is off in the emotional weeds, but so far questions have been appropriate and reasonable. Amy Barrett is obviously outstanding. She has a comprehensive knowledge of the law and factors affecting judges.

I think the senate confirmation hearings have become theater. Politicians use the hearings for their own purposes and distort what should be a straight forward and short process.

Amy Barrett should be confirmed by 90 plus votes. If not, the system is overly politicized and broken.

Justice ready to charge Google with monopoly search practices

“…Insiders expect the Justice Department to charge Google with violating antitrust laws this week, in what would be the biggest such action against a U.S. tech company in two decades. But questions still swirl around how broad and tight Justice’s case will be.

Why it matters: The suit against Google will focus on monopolistic behavior, but it’s also likely to be the last chance for the Trump Administration to act against the tech giants it blames for anti-conservative bias before an election that could oust it.

Where it stands: The case is expected to focus on allegations of competitive abuses related to search.

• • The Justice Department and a group of state attorneys general have also been investigating Google’s advertising business. One remedy proposal under discussion is to require Google to sell off its Chrome browser, Politico reports.

Between the lines: Proving today’s tech giants are monopolists who cause consumer harm is challenging since companies like Google give most of their ad-supported services away for free.

The intrigue: In a sprawling report released last week, House Democrats made the case that Google does in fact hold a harmful monopoly in search.

• • They contended the company uses its existing market dominance, control of the Android operating system and financial and technological might to quash competition, thereby denying consumers the benefits of a healthy search market.
  • Some Republican lawmakers who worked on the congressional investigation objected to the report, in part because they wanted it to focus on allegations of bias.
  • It’s still unclear just how the DOJ will make its case, but they may end up making arguments similar to the House report, despite the partisan gulf between Democratic lawmakers and a GOP administration…”

I have to work this morning, but I have watched a few minutes of the confirmation hearing. Amy Barrett sits with a black mask covering her face. Her hands are not visible below a desk. It is almost as if she is handcuffed or otherwise restrained. She is still, no movement. Her bright maroon dress serves as an orange jump suit.

Senators berate her about the latest Democrat talking points. Each Democrat senator becomes more and more strident, emotional and unreal. The discussion is about Trump and what a monster he is. Covid! What a monster of a disease it is. Trump policies will kill people. Senators give examples of individuals who will be killed by Republican policies. Americans are portrayed as victims of unfair and abusive health care designed to either kill them, force them into bankruptcy, or deny them of their rights.

Barrett sits in silence. Her face unseen because of the mask. She blinks occasionally. She is alone. No person sits within 10 feet of her, yet she is still masked.

Is this a confirmation hearing or some insane third world kangaroo court? It is a weird media driven horror movie with psychological instead of physical torture. Intermittent Republican political statements serve to enhance the torture aspect of it. What has happened to us?

The government has become a disgrace.

America May Need International Intervention

Democrats are so confident Biden will win they are looking to import foreign help to cheat at the polls and in the counting. If left to their own devices, Democrats will count and count and count the votes until they get the result they want.

Don’t trust them.

Vote at the polling booth.

The latest revelations show Team Obama invented the whole RussiaGate scandal

They were supported by house and senate Democrats and the liberal media. There is a Democrat cabal in bureaucratic Washington that also helped. It is the biggest political scandal in American history.
