To Senator Graham: "Did you know that on many gay blogs you are known either as "Miss Pittypat" or "Aunt Pittypat" and that it's just not working for you to be so adamantly anti-gay-marriage? Are you the Senator who had his hand on David Brooks' knee all during that D.C. dinner party? Thank you for your vehement speech to me, warning that you will find a way to legally keep those evil terrorist Muslims imprisoned for life; I feel your pain and fear. But have you considered that it is not their religion, as you assert, that makes them guilty of terrorism? That they hate us and our Empire, not our "freedoms"? And that if we lock up exonerated prisoners for life, it will actually make you, Senator, Less Safe, not More Safe?"
To Senator Sessions: "I am so sorry that a bigoted white senator like you is seemingly so concerned about my judicial temperament, my reverse-racism, and my connections with radical, terrorist Puerto Rican civil rights organization ties. Are you perhaps jealous that you were unable to secure a Federal Judgeship due to your long history or racist comments and actions?
You really have constantly shown yourself as almost totally ignorant of Constitutional law, you are always quoting the most activist SCOTUS judges, and it is really starting to piss.me.off. As to the quote that "the best way to end discrimination is to end discrimination; that is just too cute by half. Why don't you try it?'
To Senator Cornyn: "Senator, how many ways can I tell you that what you consider a "fundamental right" to bear arms has an entirely different standard in the higher courts? Are you simply making speeches to curry favor with your constituents? Gun control has barely been a blip on the current administration's radar, and yet you come back to this nunchuck case over and over. I wish I had a nunchuck right now. I'd wipe that fake-patrician smirk right off your face. By the way, can you not see that rational individuals in this country should be able to agree that there are some minimal gun restrictions that would be proper? The recent New Jersey law that limits a person to only buying ONE HANDGUN PER MONTH you think is too restrictive? You believe that any Tom, Dick, or Mary should really need ASSAULT RIFLES for hunting?
To Senator Coburn: "Thank you for the Ricky Ricardo impression response to the idea that I might not have a right to claim defense if you threatened me, and I came back with a gun two hours later, and shot you. I love Lucy and Ricky, and the show did serve the purpose of helping make Americans comfortable with mixed-race marriage. Is it perhaps Ricky's wild Cubano eyes during his temper flare-ups that you fear in me? Do you think that I have not proven my judicial temperament by calmly sitting here for four days, listening to you disrespect me, while constantly assuring me of your approval of me? Why do you drag out these speeches of mine, when there are so many judicial decisions to critique?
I get that you have a right to make right-to-life speeches in this hearing room, and practically call me a liar when I tell you that I did not read or approve every legal brief filed by the Puerto Rican Defense Fund concerning abortion. I get that in Oklahoma it would be popular to totally outlaw abortion for any reason, and you claim that most women terminate pregnancies because it would be "inconvenient" to have that baby. Crap. Are you so sure about what God thinks about abortion that you, Senator, should be able to legally force motherhood on women? You like those babies when they are fetuses; once they are babies and children, you feel no compunction to feed them, clothe them, provide them health care, or ensure that they have a True Minimum Living Wage????? Senator; on this issue, you have lots of 'splainin' to do!"
Senator Kyl: "I got nothin' for you; you are just an empty shirt and a hair-do, not worth my breath."
