You really learn a lot about our system watching these hearings, although i got very angry :cussing: when Ted Cruz got cut off by Fox. That was one of the most interesting parts of the hearing and they got cut off! Then after i got over my :cussing:and turned the TV back on and saw they were back to the hearing, it was not Ted Cruz but Al Franken questioning Gorsuch! AHHHHHHHHH
But something strange happened. I can't stand Al Franken but I couldn't help agree w/ him about the truck driver case, which i am going to get more info on (i-net), but if all I had to go on was what Franken said, I would say that Gorsuch BLEW it on that court decision. He was dissent, apparently, but anyway... Long story short a truck driver stopped off the side of the interstate and when he got back into his semi, noticed his brakes were frozen, didn't feel it was safe to drive, called for repairs. The repair people took a long, long time getting there and it was sub-zero temp outside and the guy started to go into hypothermia.. left the truck and that's about all i recall, but in any case, the company fired him for that.. I don't know what Gorsuch's reasoning was but there was a statute taht said you can't be fired for making a reasonable decision like that that saves the employee's life or others.. (driving at 10 mph would not be safe on the freeway, which is what he would have had to do w/ frozen brakes..)
So anyway, I will just say that i don't know all the facts Gorsuch had available to him.. but on the face of it, it doesn't sound too good.
What Lindsey Graham said brought tears to my eyes.. so beautiful waht he said about the unborn and how they feel pain but "they" (we) didn't know that when Roe v Wade was decided some 40+ yrs ago..
Thank you LIndsey Graham, someone else i don't always agree with.. for speaking to the whole world about the unborn, the most forgotten, most discriminated group in the world
