They cannot condemn it because they advocate it.

[@AllTheNamesWereInUse]

Yup, advocating for it is to include all, not just one. Makes sense to me.

[@texastreat8721]

That’s the biggest lie and if you knew your history you would know your party is the worse! And, if you were smart like all your party brags about you would understand Kennedy is trying to make a point!

[@JB-bb4su]

@@AllTheNamesWereInUse no, what they're trying to do is water it down so they can condemn 'in general' but not be held to condemn the particular statements against someone in particular. It's the same thing they pulled when Ilhan Omar was called out for her statements, they twisted condemning her particular statements to a general condemnation of all statements anyone makes of that kind. It's specifically a way to NOT call out someone in particular for particular actions. And these same folks will then turn around and use that same "corporate" logic to rail against 'systemic' issues as if that means something. Failing to call out the particular instances is a failure to fight the supposed 'systemic' issues also.

don't know if that's how I see it.. I don't think that it's as simplistic, as they seemingly want to portray it.. I also don't think there's a need for a bill, that specific.. it makes me suspicious, of what their agenda is and wonder what the real aspect is.. if it was about racism, they could have made it generalised.. or go over existing rules, laws and legislations, to maybe make it easier to enforce them.. but I think there are some important details, that often are overlooked.. like, it isn't illegal to be a racist and if you can't classify it as hate speech, it could pass under free speech..

[@MelidyGorham]

You really will see the" true colors of people when they are pressed to do the right thing" Thomas voted against same sex marriage, did he forget years before he married his European wife , a law existed in Virginia sonetime in 1965 or maybe later where it was against the law for " Interracial marriages" Hell the couple even fought that law after they got out of jail, if it weren't for that couple Thomas and his European wife wouldn't be together. So that's another affirmative action he benefited from, He also struck down gun laws , laws I may and to protect children and innocent people. Yes the constitution says you have a right to bare arms, but it doesn't mention anything about automatic weapons. In fact when the 2nd amendment was written the guns of choice were Muskets and Rifles. Some how laws were twisted for the benefit of gun makers who by the way some of the members of congress, judges and senator's are also members and supporters of the NRA, Finally Tupac, if you don't know who he was a rapper. But in one of his songs he states " since a man can't have a baby, he has no right to tell a woman when and where to have one" / or not ( or not are my words). What's next telling woman they can't vote, and then adding " obey" back into the wedding vows? The suggestion of these justices and congress people is to have the baby, get on welfare if you dare (so I can call you lazy and a welfare queen). Instead of staying out of the reproductive business of females. Here's a law they can focus on, it takes 2 people to make a baby if one parent is lax in his or her responsibility the first tine ( other than illness to prevent them from working) sterilize them. OMG i can hear the backlash now for even suggesting such a thing. So again yes you do see the "colors of some folk when they are pressed or not to do so".

A place I happily swore to the constitution to when I joined the USAF. WTF is happening?? I don't pretend to be right or left... there is good and bad in both. BUT... something has to change and change fast. Senator Kennedy and Cruz are just brilliant - Senator Cruz I could listen to that man all day every day, A great public speaker. As I said - I'm not for or against any party... but I do know that Biden and Co are corrupt and HAVE to be removed. I'm no fan of Trump either though... but given the choice of Trump Vs Biden? I'll take the chance with Donald thank you.

Glad your in England we don't need another supporter of a traitor. Mr. Kennedy Clarence Thomas condemned rights of people of color at least their just calling names and not creating a sedition and saying hang C.T,

As a black man I don't support Clarence Thomas cause this guy vote against Affirmative action so as a black man it's a vote I take personal so no need to apologize. A real man it's a man who cares about civil rights. You dig !!!

Well... I was not a big fan of Ted Cruz until he grew the beard. 😁 All kidding aside, he seemed a little petty when he was running for president. Ambition might have gotten the better of him. Since then, he's really dug into the role of being a senator. Now, I'd say Texas is lucky to have such a dedicated man representing them.

John Kennedy is talking about something that is TOTALLY IRRELEVANT to the matters at hand in this hearing.
