on ACA. Barrett is obfuscating even though her own comments are put before her.
She says her comments don't count because she wasn't a judge then.

...on my "Fantasy President" team...
Or my "stay in the Senate and kick ass" team.
That woman is brilliant. And articulate.

Who do the Republicans have to match her? Old, tired, white retreads.

10. After AG

I know people here have their favorites for AG, but Klobuchar for the immediate needs of the office is absolutely the best possible choice.

There is quite literally no one who has both the breadth and depth of experience of both the judicial and political sides of the job.

What most people do not realize is she was one of the top telecommunications lawyers in the country during the rise of the of the internet. She has been dealing with access and privacy since the beginning. When you consider that she is one of the go to people on anti-trust for the Democrats and that her philosophy leans to what can we do now in advance of new law. We have the only real player ready to take on Social Media and big data. That is essential for all else in today's connected world.
