Literally every answer from these nominees, every time. It's nauseating.
I love that Sen Hawley and his team do their homework and put time into the questioning they do. 🇺🇸
She will be a judge with 3M and Boeing in her pocket to ensure things go their way... she's going to go where the money goes.
She is the most rehearsed person alive. Listen to the words. This is not how a human talks.

Hawley has got some serious skills! He is one of 2 Senators that make me wish I had gone to law school myself. Always a pleasure to see him blast a less-than capable nominee!

Anyone notice the trend with every single one of these nominees that this administration chooses? When they're confronted with their incompetencies, the response is always in some form "well if confirmed I wouldn't do it that way" not word for word but it's basically what they all say. Yes my record is atrocious but once confirmed I'll change... 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Senator Josh Hawley is a truly bright man. He is a total champ in my eyes. I love hearing his beautiful voice and his intelligent conversations.
apparently, a moral compass nor integrity is an intricate characteristic of any lawyer or judge within the judicial system in America today. HOW SAD AND DANGEROUS FOR ALL AMERICAN CITIZENS.

The last guys ‘answer’ tells you he is completely untrustworthy and openly deceptive and that alone should end his nomination. I honestly think these people think the general public are stupid! If he thinks that of Trump then that’s up to him but at least have the courage to stand by what you believe in. Utterly pathetic.

She is unfit to hold the position of judge.
A rule needs established, if a nominee doesn't follow their testimony with their actions in the courts, after being installed as a judge, they can be removed immediately. Time for judges to have their skin in the game, especially the life time appointees.

That's extremely dangerous. These people are getting positions without any critical thinking ability.
Holy crap we are so screwed
They never “wrote” the letter, only signed it. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen this exact situation. A nominee is asked about some disgusting or at least highly questionable letter or article they wrote and instead of just saying their reasoning they say “I didn’t write that, only signed it”. I’m sorry, maybe I’ve been wrong my entire literate life, doesn’t signing a letter mean you wrote it or at the very least agree with it. These people think that by saying “I didn’t write that” they are completely absolved from anything in it. Sometimes it’s something from 25 years ago, or more. Why not just say “that was a long time ago, my view has changed or my view has not changed”?
These nominees are not the best and brightest among us.
The Judiciary Committee has the hearings with Judicial Nominee's NOT the Homeland Security Committee!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my days...her first sentance was exactly the same as every other Biden nominee
Imagine having such a weak back bone that you can't confirm if you still agree with something you signed a few years ago.
IS there EVER going to be a non biased, knowledgeable of the position or even credible for their nomination present at these things? If thats the best ya got... :( :( wow
She is clearly trying to remember what is in the script and recite it.
I call Bull shit the problem we have is we now have people in are Congress and other positions in our government that got in saying they’re one group of people but being another group of people we need to change our judicial system big time most of these people say they can be biased, but are not you want someone like that judging you. We the people!!!
More equity picks helping to make Biden a one term Prez.
We can thank John McCain for screwing Airbus out of a govt contract.
I have heard others say exactly the same thing ..... as an advocate I will do anything to get my clients off the hook ......
She should just say something like: "Every client deserves legal defense, whether or not I personally agree with the client or like the client. I do not discriminate, as I will not discriminate against anyone in a courtroom." 🤷🏻
Gee guess who she will back..$$$$$$$$$$
I think that I heard that some guy back in the day said something about pointing out the splinter in someone else's eye while ignoring the log in your own.
HAWLEY A BIG RESOUNDING NO VOTE IS IN ORDER. END OF DISCUSSION!
Seems like everyone of the nominee has the same lanes off responding to senator 🤔🤔🤔
I am always amazed that Virtually anyone who appears here in these meetings are not prepared to answer a direct basic question !! This tells you how corrupt the Political situation is .
The quality and morals of the nominees is so low it’s terrifying. How do these people come into power?
Dei 😂😂😂😂
Yes
So, I'd like to know, what the DOJ did with the $650 million dollar settlement it received from Boeing .
How can Hawley (as an attorney himself) ask another attorney, that works for a firm or even if private, would not give their professional best to do their job in which they are hired for? He is borderline asking if an attorney would corrupt a case just for the cause of moral values! If Hawley himself were on trial for murder, would he want an attorney representing to give him their very best or dangle between whether they like him as a person or not while defending him?
They all start double talking bs
It’s her strength to not be moral…

She has all the right words but not the right practice…
As a defence lawyer she is hopeless, losing all the time, if she is talented heaven help the already corrupt and hapless judicial system.

She is so honest No stocks. No Bonds. Nothing she have that will contradict everything she say
*the Banality of Evil* on full display
"She is on top of mind" -KJP
I think she did a good job with her initial responses. She was confident, didn't become flustered and was quick to respond. The robotic response is normal in this type of circumstance because questioneers are activly trying to trip them up and will latch onto any little thing. It's increadibly annoying but understandable. Him trying to vilify her through bad practices of companies she represented is a little silly... do only 'good' people or companies deserve talented representation... OK then who decides who's worthy and who's not, could that be used in a nefarious way to target people or corperations that someone wants out of their way so that they'd not have competition or anyone to speak against them... wait if only everyone had the right to representation...
Boeing sure seems to be drowning in DOODOO!!

I normally agree with Hawley, but how can you hold against her who or how she defended a client. The job is to defend the client to the best of her ability. And to regret being a defense attorney for Boeing as if she knew the future would hold a nomination for judgeship is just gas lighting on Hawkeys part, i think he treated her very unfairly.
The answers are always the same.
No humanity!
She represented whistleblowers from boeing who killed them slefs with 2 bullets in the back of the head. Door flying of the planes. Planes crashing. She represented them
she is a perfect example of why attorneys amost never have any ethics or morals what soever....
Just like in politics Boeing is going to know what happens when you put the wrong peaple in charge of something
Most of the time I agree with Josh, but I think he’s wrong here. I don’t know if she would be a good judge, but I hope Senator Holly is not insinuating that there should not be representation for the corporation. I’m sure he would not argue that. Somebody has to do it. That does not necessarily preclude them from making a good judge or many other things. I use, for example Abraham Lincoln. He was a lawyer for the biggest railroad corporations before he went into politics. Very similar situation and people thought he would be doing the railroads bidding, which I think by any standard turned out to be not true.
