Leahy notes Sessions' unequal treatment of our female SCOTUS nominee

[usregimechange]

"When a Republican president nominated a man to the Supreme Court, the schedule was fine," Leahy said. "When a Democratic president nominated women to the Supreme Court on exactly the same schedule, suddenly it's not a fair schedule. Well maybe I'm old fashioned, maybe I'm influenced by my wife, my daughter, my three granddaughters. But I think the rules ought to be the same for men and for women. So that's why the schedule is the same."

1. Sessions doesn't care. He's a hypocrite. n/t

2. gender has nothing to do with it. republicans just want to stall by any means possible.

and leahy, reasonably enough, wants to embarass them by any means possible.

3. I think it's great framing! It puts them on the defensive, trying to explain that

they're NOT sexist!

Kind of like saying, "We don't think they've stopped beating their wives yet."

Great strategy!

4. yeah, we're finally starting to learn from all those republican dirty tricks!
