  1. Someone was trying to save the world when they tried to take one of those dudes out but got scared

  2. Bunch of liars under oath.

  3. Surely if you lie on your job application you should be sacked?

  4. Barrett is a bad liar, look at her at 1:19, bad poker play too I'd guess … lol

  5. High level corruption can only be fought with violence i fear.

  6. No more abortions. Trust me when I say. It’s all for the good

  7. Racist liberals want to impeach Thomas? Shocking

  8. None of the judges here swore to uphold Roe under any circumstances

  9. Well, looks like a few states questioned it, and wow, turns out, the Constitution doesn't mention abortion anywhere. I was kind of surprised by that…

  10. These hypocrites should abstain from communion. Lying is a grave sin in the rcc. But we all know all conservative Christians are hypocrites that can’t be bothered to read scripture. Pope Paul Vi ignored much of the Bible. Numbers for instance shoots this whole argument int the foot.

  11. O MG, When do they over throw free speech.

  12. Right wing tele evangelical government is coming . It happened for lots off reasons . I won’t go into all of them . The only thing about this is and I say this to the Christian people . Just because you advocate this happening does not mean life will get easier for you or that a secular not God friendly Nation can’t cause our downfall because the United States of America is definitely an anti science , anti education nation going backwards . I see the pro science nations getting the upper hand one day .

  13. Lying under oath seems to be the norm.

  14. Americans are duped !!

  15. To all the people in an uproar about Roe being overturned which by the way, regarding liberal uproar I like to express (nom nom nom nom nom it's so tasty)
    The court made it the individual states responsibility whether to make abortion legal their respective state. As you can imagine, every Democrat run City and pretty much all blue States abortion is still legal upwards until what is it 16 weeks so what's the problem? If your state doesn't allow abortions take a road trip no worries. There is nothing racist or authoritarian about it. The judges simply did the constitutional thing.
    Things left-leaning at mainstream media doesn't tell you because they want you to be angry so you for some reason keep voting for them? Doesn't make any sense but it's what they do.
    If you respond negatively to my factual comment it means you're unintelligent so…

  16. Poor liberals got butt hurt because a legitimate Supreme Court overturned a previous one that practiced "judicial advocacy" in protecting rights that never existed per the Constitution. The same socialist/liberals are butt hurt because these Judges upheld a specific "enumerated right" that specifically states, "shall NOT be infringed." These so called "progressives" are driven by hatred and immorality.

  17. they all lied, just lied and they knew it. disbar them

  18. Kavanaugh was the only guy in the video who might have stopped short of overturning Roe but that was before his public lynching.

  19. Supreme Court has now become weaponized, with a majority of Taliban-style zealots, already trampling on our freedom and trashing any chance we had of dealing with climate change. What a bunch of gangsters. Trump set the bar so low, in so many ways, but this was the worst thing he did.

  20. It depends on what the meaning of is is. Now thats a judge that became a president. A mega liar.

  21. None of these are lies

  22. That last remark really resonated with me

  23. They only lied to gain nurses

  24. Lying to Congress is an impeachable offense, right? Republicans said yes to Clinton but no to Roe. Disgusting.

  25. Elections have consequences. Stolen elections (Joe Biden 2020) have MAJOR consequences that the 1/6 committee of dog stools have yet to suffer. I am looking at you, Liz Cheney.

  26. In 2009 the DNC had POTUS and super majority in Congress. Their signature legislative push and achievement was "comprehensive healthcare reform. Does anyone know why they did codify Roe v Wade into law as part of that AHA?

  27. Kavanaugh's statement, in particular, amounts to a bold-faced lie.

  28. Impeach them we want their impeachement

  29. You gotta lie, so tha baby don't die. I'm glad thay lied.

  30. Be good people! Give it a shot! You've got nothing to lose… 😇

  31. The wrong wednesday routinely fail because treatment shortly mark including a skillful thought. lackadaisical, dispensable pan

  32. Where did any of them say that they would never overturn Roe Vs. Wade if they where given the chance to? Look up precedent. It is just a guide that can be followed in a court's judgement. If other facts are presented that can change a ruling despite precedent, a judge is allowed to go against it. All this did is give the power back to the people, the States, to decide for themselves if abortion will be legal or not in the state they live in. An if the politicians won't do it, vote them out, and replace them with ones who will enact the policies people want. Remember, the Constitution's original purpose is limited Federal government, with the people, the States, deciding other matters not covered by the Constitution.

  33. And not one lie .. try something else libbies
