What Should Have Happened at the Ketanji Brown Jackson Hearings

Can you define "partisan circus?"

------------------

On March 24, 2022, the Senate Judiciary Committee wrapped up its confirmation hearings of Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson. The questioning, which lasted more than 20 hours, whipsawed from Democrats praising Jackson's record to Republicans attacking her handling of child pornography cases and defending a Guantanamo Bay detainee.

They didn't play Dungeons & Dragons.

Here's what we would like to have seen.

I would genuinely watch a DnD session made of clips of senators pontificating out of context.

[vulgoalias]

Literally the only reason to look forward to congressional hearings.

“Could I decide I was an Asian man?”

“Not if you want to go to Harvard.”

Oof.

[Aaron.Reichert]

Compared to other hearings this was pretty focused on actually relevant stuff.
However, to be fair, it's a really low bar.

[TickedOffPriest]

On the plus side, at least the Republicans did not make up a series of crimes from her college days and tried to focus on her legal record.

[nhoover]

I was hoping to at least hear a nod towards the "I can't define what a woman is"

[shanerooney]

"Guilty as judged"
I nominate this pun as supremely funny.

[AdamChalmers]

Genius with the D&D stuff - Bonus xp for the writers and editors!

"The founders established three separate branches of our government."
"She is a *judge*, she knows that."
I wouldn't presume.
She has surprised us with not knowing things you'd think she'd know by virtue of her life before.

“There’s no reason to think that you are a pedophile.”

“That’s the closest Josh Hawley has to a compliment.”

*spit coffee*

[AlvorReal]

This is funny, but I feel a BIT off base. The attacks on the light sentencing were legitimate and the fact she's a purely id-pol appointee mean the id-pol questions are fair game too.

[howlinhobbit]

just as funny as usual, all the way through. _”Not if you want to go to Harvard.”_ got its first genuine LOL out of me.

[NoFlu]

The DnD bit was awesome.
I think somebody could definetly make a series out of this....

Libertatianism ought to be a superior form of conservatism. Instead its become an inferior form of liberalism.

[LibertyEver]

These "What Should Have Happened At The... Hearings" videos never disappoint, but congressional satire is what the military refers to as a target rich environment.

[kimj]

This was absolutely brilliant 🤣🤣.
"We have a justice system that treats you better if you're rich and guilty than if you're poor and innocent."

"Is that why all of you were so calm?"

[smicksmookety]

I'm not a biologist, but I recognize womanhood is rooted in biology :)

[loganrose]

"is that why all of you are so calm?" XD I spit my dinner out.

[GrassesOn]

Why does a Libertarian YouTube channel know more about D&D than most people in government?

[watchdealer]

When these two comedians team up, it gives makes my libertarian bone tingle
