Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., told Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson that he would oppose on-camera Supreme Court proceedings because it could potentially lead to the moments of “jackassery” that he believes Congress performs in for televised moments.

The Republicans love to talk, don't they!
Wow he certainly got it right. Finally a gentleman who puts country first.
He makes a good point. But his point is kinda complicated and has deeper implications of both sides that are maybe a bit too hard to understand for the Facebook crowd who doesn’t have the time or education to necessarily fully appreciate the complexities of governance and its intersection with both capitalism and narcissism. Could you sum up your feelings and point in 10 words or less and let us know which party your knocking.
Are Republicans bad for or are Democrats bad?
Hmm, yes it was the late Senator Byrd's specialty in determining and even prosecuting the level of corruption of judges at any level of government whether it was a local judge tampering with a jury by dismissing juries, postponing juries, court dates, or manipulating the outcome of a case by doing so, or even by not considering that the prosecution or dept. torturing an innocent person to intimidate witnesses, or even suspects, or coerce false testimony around falsified narratives, which is as heinous as the evidence of some cases, must be the type of Jackassery the American public doesn't need in the Supreme Court, Congress, or Senate. "
Sen. Ben Sasse;
"he would oppose on-camera Supreme Court proceedings because it could potentially lead to the moments of "jackassery" that he believes Congress performs in for televised moments".
That was quite a performance of Jackassery Senator; what does the public need to know about any proceedings of Jackassery, that probably should remain silent, but not kept from public oversight or protest?
If she passes we will all know the supremes court is diseased and Corrupted
You mean the “Ted Cruzing”
Sasse couldn't have summed this up better… Whether you are avDemocrat or Republican, conservative or liberal, kudos for Sasse for using his time to bring forth this as well as his being professional, kind, and level headed… (not that these shouldn't be requirements of any public official let alone any human being.)
He’s not wrong lol
Wow, Senator Sasse, it is good to watch and listen to a grown up, even though a Republican, this is how politicians should behave no matter what party they represent.
Guess Fake News Media and their elected clown are having harder time using the race shield…
Especially when it comes to real legitimate questions.
Jackassery! Love it
She's black and a radical leftist. Aren't these unassailable qualifications? So why the questioning? How dare they?
Ben Sasse hits his clown peers with a cake 🎂🤣😂 on their faces( Cruz, cotex sorry Cotton, Hawley) are tre studges and they're so waste persons that are more unnatural and lack of decency and credibility. High fist for the ones who brake the law on capitol but she is soft on crime
Pen and Pad can be used to show other than what actually happened. And WTF is he talking about? Do you only jackassery stuff would be coming from Cavanaugh and Barrett
The Jackassery was performed by the Republicans today. His point?
Thank you sir!
That's my senator 👏 I live in Omaha and I'm really proud of Benn Sasse.
The republican Senator, like many of People elected to Office, really don't want to have to account for their Words OR the Tone of their words. They maybe able to 'Walk Back Some of their Words but not their Tone"! The Judged cannot hide when their Decisions are subject to greater Secrecy.
Be Smart, be Well and Stay Safe Folks
Thank you, Senator
THank you, Sen. Sasse, well said & you were certainly The Adult for your Party in this hearing….but I still don't trust you because of your unwillingness to be courageous during the tRUMP impeachment(S) & to denounce the 'Jackassery' of the Cancer of tRUMPism.
well look who showed back up
Republicans made a lot of new Democrats the last two days.
The GOP needs more like Sasse and Kinzinger if that party is to survive.
Cruz acted like a spoiled bully- jackassery. Considering his unwillingness to allow her to answer, it appears he was performing for the cameras. Gosh it was such an irritating, nail on the chalkboard, kind of performance.
Skin color and race mean everything and merit goes out the window 🪟
Disgraceful attitude by the republican party,over this judge
We already exist in a shallow society, where looks determine far too much. We are not grown up enough to trust our eyes. Isn't Justice supposed to be blind?
She' Will be Great
Ted Cruz .Cotton. and all of them are jackasses
Thank you Senator Sasse.
This man and his mouth is crazy
This man is gone crazy his
Dammmmm
this guy would curse the telegraph back in the olden days.
he mad they cant lie on the east coast and it taken weeks to cross the nation. Ha and the cameras catching them being violent crooks too 🙂 so funny watching the Old Guard fight the Future!!
Total BS. "Pen and Pad" is just a way to shape reality – not a way to transmit reality. Typical republican looking to hide the truth. They love their "Alternative Facts."
I agree with the Senator here.
"Jackassery". I must remember this word. ☺ Thank you, Senator Sasse.
One minute she's smiling and the next she figured out this guy is a g**** fool
Sasse should be in the mix for presidential run. Dude makes sense, he’s smart, funny, all of it. More people like this is congress
Jackassery? Beautiful!!!!
Yes to cameras- judges been acting crazy sometimes
TRUMP still haven't sacrifice anything to justify the withdrawal of Afghanistan to hand over Afghanistan to the Taliban who taking back the entire country 90 years into the past. FBI PT SD. This news Storyline.
I agree if cameras are involved I see a lot of congressmen and women blatantly ignoring serious topics or discussions and only trying to get camera time honestly this is what we seen on social media people portraying who they are not’ 🤷🏾♂️
