      Hirono: Wait, are you telling me policy considerations are something *we* should address? Barrett: Yes, you write the laws.

      Hirono: are you saying that the stories of people are legal arguments? The real life stories? Those are part of the law? [Yes, she's really this unintelligible]

      The really astounding thing was how Hirono seemed genuinely baffled by the concept that maybe the job of a judge is not the same as the job of a legislator. As if hearing it for the first time. https://twitter.com/ishapiro/status/1316119240945082368 …

      Hirono says that a distinction between making policy & reading law is "a fiction" - wholly rejects the idea that judges are not exactly the same as legislators.

      Hirono says that she guesses that Barrett disagrees with caring about people.

      Hirono has to ask Barrett for the word "severability" which was unfamiliar to her, a person who writes federal laws for a living.

      Hirono's tone of voice constantly suggests a person reading something aloud for the first time without knowing what most of the words mean.

      Hirono has now reached the inflection where a question mark goes about a dozen times without stopping to see if Barrett might answer.

          Amazing restraint on the part of a brilliant legal mind not to call out senseless blather for what it is.

          She went to Georgetown Law and I have to look it up every time because I find it shocking when I hear the words that come out of her mouth that she has any kind of legal education and it’s depressing not only does she have a legal education but it’s from an “elite” school at that

          Pity??? Hirono is the worst Senator and there are quite a few but she's at the bottom! Shame on Hawaii for electing her!
