    By the way, I'm really tired of hearing about Amy Coney Barrett's family. I'm sure she's a great mom! I'm sure she's better than me! (I can barely manage 2 kids, never mind 7). But she's not getting voted into a parenting position. Let's move on.

        Well, clearly Amy Coney Barrett is not taking my advice.

        You mean you don't care about her mini-van?

        But isn't that kind of how progressives set up these questions? Is a nominee sympathetic? Do they care about people like me?

        Yes! Why is she talking about her kids? I’m sure they’re lovely. Who cares?

        Having a husband who cares about supporting his wife’s career and well-being of his children helps immensely.

        The Nazis had a special award for women who birthed multiple children for the "Thousand Year Reich". We all know how that turned out.

        Well, they’re attacking her family and beliefs, so I’m gonna let it slide.
