Tuesday Short Cuts
Notable quotables from Matt Walsh, Joy Pullmann, Chuck Schumer, and more.
Upright: “If you’ve always had your income tax withheld by your employer, and you normally get a refund, you probably don’t hate the IRS nearly as much as you should. This is by design.” —Matt Walsh
For the record: “[Amy Coney Barrett’s] very existence repudiates the left’s binary thinking about womanhood, that women have to deny what makes women different from men to achieve professionally. And that’s why they hate her.” —Joy Pullmann
Braying jackass: “Just about everything that America believes in and stands for when it comes to issues like health care and labor rights and LBGTQ rights and women’s rights, Judge Barrett stands against all of that. … Justice Ginsburg must be turning over in her grave up in heaven to see that the person they chose seems to be intent on undoing all the things that Ginsburg did. I will strongly, strongly, strongly oppose this nomination.” —Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
Demo-gogue: “Already the president and his party have decided to ignore Justice Ginsburg’s final wish.” —Senator Kamala Harris
Political theater: “Clarence Thomas should recuse himself if the Supreme Court has to decide the election.” —Washington Post columnist Colbert I. King, who implies Justice Thomas has a vendetta stemming from Joe Biden’s character assassination of him in 1991
The smoking gun! “Amy Coney Barrett, President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, has close ties to a charismatic Christian group that holds men are divinely ordained as the ‘head’ of the family.” —Associated Press (“For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.” —Ephesians 5:23)
Non compos mentis: “This president appears to have over $400 million in debt. To whom? Different countries? What is the leverage they have? So, for me, this is a national security question.” —House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Trump’s taxes
And last… “I wonder if Hunter Biden ever paid taxes on the $3.5 Million he got from the Mayor of Moscow’s wife?” —Charlie Kirk
