I work at not being an eavesdropper. It isn’t just that most conversations bore me to tears but I don’t think it is any of my business. I got drawn into one for a few minutes the other day.
Two women were discussing the confirmation hearings for Amy Barrett. Can you guess what their biggest concerns were? First, she dressed like a frump. I am not sure that frump was their word but that was the implication. Whatever she had on was not as stylish as it should have been. Second, she needed to spend more time on her make-up.
Now I will concede that the statements being made by the Senators were not worthy of much attention but it would seem to me that there are more important things to evaluating a potential Supreme Court Justice than wardrobe and makeup.
I would suggest it is time to repeal the Nineteenth Amendment but I am not sure that the thinking of the men is much better.
