Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Watching the proceedings, and the interviews held after, one cannot help but wonder how our nation came to be led by a bunch of white old men. Seriously? We are painfully monochromatic at the top! Whether it's Trump, or Grassley, or Hatch, or Graham or McConnell or Corker or ... even Bret Kavanaugh ... well, you get the picture. Is that who we truly aspire to have as the principal leaders and policy makers of our democracy? A gaggle of middle-aged to elderly white males? Isn't it time that we allow the old white grandpas to retire to their rocking chairs?

Funny... you still calling it a democracy.
@GipsyOfNewSpain I get your point ... it is, more or less, in its representative form, a democracy, as set forth in our Constitution. A true (or full) democracy it was never intended to be.
@p-nullifidian So are you admitting a "Flawed constitution" or constitution is still your Holy Grail?
@GipsyOfNewSpain If you are an originalist sure it is flawed. Many have attempted to move us forward, those who do not want to move forward have worked hard for the past 30 plus years to take away democracy for all. If we do get out and vote this November I think we will be back in the 1890's.
@GipsyOfNewSpain There is nothing 'holy' or 'sacred' about the Constitution, which anyone with sense can see is not perfect. It has been improved upon, over time, and on at least one occasion (the 18th Amendment), worsened.
@p-nullifidian Oh the "improvements"... ah the "amendments".
@p-nullifidian, @silverotter11 Power of the Vote.
@GipsyOfNewSpain It takes action for the vote to have any power. Too many succumbed to apathy. Hope we see at least 70% voter turnout in Nov. especially on the progressive, lib, women and 20 to 35 age range.
@silverotter11 Yep.
Yep. They don't care about women, they seem to hate us.

Is not they hate you... is that they don't respect you.
@GipsyOfNewSpain Not to put too fine a point on it BUT they fear us. What most women fail to understand we HAVE the control over who enters and who does not. Too many have drunk the koolaide.
@silverotter11 So True.
They should hold their breath.............
