[@mememantyrique1029]

The thing is, you want a defense lawyer to advocate for their client and downplay any wrongdoing. That’s their job. I probably disagree with this nominee on political views just like you do but it’s a cheap tactic to fault them on their service as a public defense attorney when literally any defense attorney is supposed to do exactly what she did.

[@jamesgraham2467]

[@danielkokal8819]

@@mememantyrique1029 correct. defense job is to get the client off scot free. after 911 there was a lynch mob mentality. Bsides, you cant prosecute someone unless they have a defense, and a shitty defense will only get them an appeal., so prosecutors should want a robust defense so the conviction stands.

[@twitteringape]

Specially considering how many of them are in high positions of office :)

[@JRobbySh]

As a defense attorney her role was to defend her client to the best of her ability. In her role as judge that was not her role. Wtaverever her feelings, she ought o be judged by her actions as a judge. Hopefully as a judge she has never acted as an advocate. Even umpires have favorite teams, but they do not wear their caps. Unfortunately, nowadays judges do run as members of parties and do cultivate a reputation that causes certain interests to seek to have their cases tried in their courts.

[@noobandfriends2420]

She never gave a straight answer. She reframed every question so that she didn't need to answer Hawley's question. What a snake.

[@luisacleaves9492]

Words empty words, she did not answer

[@kimkulesa3041]

@Noob and Friends - they 'always' tap dance around answering a question that was 'not' the question. I totally believe they drag their non-sensical answers to kill time because they know the senators are only given a short time to ask questions and much often the Senators have to stop their questioning and will often tell them they'll follow up with a letter about their question and wait for a reply. Over and over I've watched these long drawn out non-answers, in most cases is is very obvious that they are trying to run out the clock. These Senators are doing a very important job and the amount of time allotted to them is much too short. They need to give them each an 'additional' five minutes at least to continue with their questions. No reason for such a rush job. If these nominees have to stay longer or come back within the next day or to (at most) then that's what they should do. They lie through their teeth all the time. Pretty rare they just get a yes or no answer even when the Senators explicitly tell them they want just a yes or no answer, they still do their tap dance to kill time, they don't want to answer the question their asked with a yes or no answer. The Senators all lose time for more questions they have because of this.

@@kimkulesa3041 Honestly if they have to come back another day to try to answer questions again, I know how I'd vote regardless of party. I want judges who can say, "As the law currently says, entering the nation is a crime. I agree that the law should be upheld until such time that it is agreed upon to be changed." How hard is that for these people? She can still virtue signal that she doesn't agree with it, but ultimately vow to uphold it while it's in place. Or if a candidate from the right is asked about abortion, they could reply. "While my personal views may not align with this law, my professional stance is that it will be upheld to the best of my ability until such time that it is changed." Honestly I think if someone answered a question like that, they'd gain a lot of respect from the opposing party. It's fine to have a personal view that differs from a professional one, people are expected to do that all the time. The real problem is that these candidates are always looking for a way to avoid saying they'd uphold a law they don't like, and it makes them look so dishonest and snake-like.

Looking into your distant pass when it comes to Top Judicial Positions, not relevant and your words don't mean anything.

@TrumpLovesBBC You're wrong about everything from the BBC through to your allegedly "Independant, unbiased reporting" It doesn't list out the alleged 30k+ lies. It doesn't specify that "Cheeseburgers stacked a mile high" (clear hyperbole) isn't a lie. Your unbiased and independant source is a HEAVY left-leaning source. Most UK news is left leaning. The Independant also came out with articles in 2017 about Trumps "Russian Collusion" that never happened. So I mean your sources are about as fake as the bullshit they spread. Cheers for the effort though. How hard is it to listen to President Biden mumble his way through scripted conversations and speak pure gibberish? Hows the leader of the Free World holding up? Funny nobodys allowed to talk about his health or his Son's obvious corruption but that was 100% of the Left leaning headlines from 2016-2021. Trump's health and alleged corruption with his kids.

This woman is the definition of 'good intentions' blocking the good in life

Wrong, good? By what standard?

[@cousinzeke4888]

There isn't a single good intention in that thing.

Her initials are KKK, how bizarrely appropriate.

A simple yes or no will do. She is not qualified to b nominated

Guess who nominated her .

A FEDERAL JUDGE SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAIR COVERING HIS OR HER FACE... EVER. IT IS UNPROFESSIONAL AND INAPPROPRIATE.

Senator Josh Hawley for PRESIDENT!!!!!

[@cherylwootten5925]

She's a big no!

[@wolfwind1]

Her corruption is on display for her own children.

[@vcut7319]

I mean, she literally has one of her eyes covered. Come on man.

[@julieehlmann9198]

Thankful that Senator Josh Hawley represents Constitition-loving, conservative Missourians.

[@dalejumonville9147]

Does she feel the same way about people who were at the capital on the day the presidency was to be certified?? My understanding is people who never entered the chamber are being prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law even if they didn’t participate in the actual infiltration that day. What specific crime did they commit judge that requires them to not receive all the benefits of due process that are protected under our judicial system????

She's nicely saying, she will be whatever you want her to be..

[@dalejumonville9147]

@@parallax9281 That’s pretty pathetic. My husband will tell you that I think for myself and if I don’t agree with him I don’t hesitate to give him my viewpoint. I know ladies that try to be whatever they think is necessary at the time but that’s just being fake and insincere to who you are. Not for this girl.

@@dalejumonville9147 This is for a lifetime appointment and all the perks that come with it.. It's like she's saying, she has no core beliefs. There are men who do stuff like this also.. Which is why these hearings exist..

[@dalejumonville9147]

@@parallax9281 Which I don’t approve of this when men do it either. These people never answer a direct question and you can’t tell me personal beliefs don’t factor into it with many of them. I just want them to be honest in their answers and adhere to the Constitution that governs our Republic. That’s not too much to ask of people who are appointed for life.

HOW can you expect to go before a Judge that can't even get her hair out of her face? SMDH

[@JackTorrance333]

If a defendant stood in front of her,while she was on her bench, she’d almost certainly tell them to fix it immediately. Disrespectful. Scared to show her eyes.

Oh yeah, she's massively qualified. She can BS with the best of them.

We are so fortunate to have Senator Hawley dig into the truth regarding combating crime or the lack thereof!

5:24 - For her to answer ANYTHING other than YES to that question means she should absolutely not be any kind of Judge.
