Personal ethos

I’ve been steering clear of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s confirmation hearing of the woman the Right Wing Nut Jobs are trying to cram through the process, primarily because my tolerance level for both hypocrisy and fools has dropped through the ground lately. But I find one thing interesting from the bits and bobs I’ve picked up over the past few days. 

Amy Coney Barrett may be a RWNJ’s wet dream—primed to strike down Roe v Wade, Obamacare and Obergefell in an orgy of evangelical righteousness. Watching her call something enshrined in the USC “hypothetical” and therefore declaring her inability to comment upon it.

But she clearly understands the concept of perjury, and—unlike Brett Kavanagh—she is reluctant to commit it. She’d rather encase herself in a bubble of babble and be thought unbelievably stupid and ignorant than lie under oath.

She’s still a crime against democracy, but it’s interesting that she seems to have some personal ethical standards.
