I thiink we not only ave reason to be worried, I think we should all be writing to our Senators to object to her confirmation, based strictly on her refusal to answer direct questions openly and honestly, as I have done.
Wow. And you have never seen that happen before in a Senate hearing on either side of the aisle?
Never said or even implied, just I expect votes against someone who refuses to give straight and honest answers. I have written and emailed my senators, have you?

Well, I am going to go against the grain here and say she is sharp as a tack on these issues...She is exactly what Obama wanted...

She is drawing ire from us and many other single issue people, and any attacks on her can immediately be labled as racist...Perfect liberal political play...And the state controlled media will lap that up like grape kool-aid in Gayana...

This goes to my basic premise...If you do not understand, or in this case, fully understand how to destroy a inalienable, moral right as this is, I have no use for you in any capacity as a politician (elected official) apointed or elected, or even a citizen...

Yep, that pretty harsh, but then again...Its just me...
Even "sharp as a tack" does not necessarily imply intelligence. She's quick on her feet, to be sure, she came up with some awfully inventive ways to avoid answering direct questions, and I doubt that she would accept such answers in her court, but intelligence would still imply the awareness that anyone with the , for that matter, does anyone even remember what a tack is? :???:

Neithere of which is a valid indicator of intelligence.

Which also does not indicate intelligence, and may actually serve to indicate a decided lack.
