The obvious question, “if you knew I was going to ask these questions, then why aren’t you prepared to answer them?”
I’m sick of these nominees constantly saying thank you for the questions. We know they are taught not to answer and to drag out the time. Stinking corrupt democrat minions.
At least Kennedy has the slap to their faces when they throw that at him!
unfortunately it's the republicans too.
I know exactly what you mean! “Senator Kennedy, thank you so much for the opportunity to answer this question as you laid before me and unfortunately, I’m not totally prepared to be able to give my full and capable answer, as I am not faced with the situation at hand, and if I was, I would be totally prepared to answer any question so thank you very much”🤮

He was chomping on a wad of gum.
None of the nominees are prepared or qualified for the jobs they are up for.
Nope and once in they're told what to do ,,,and like a true zombie, they do it with out critical thought
Which in the democrat playbook makes them ultra-qualified!
Bull$hit... the Biden nominees without exception are highly rated by legal profession, unlike some of the IDIOTS that Trump nominated who's only qualification was membership in the Federalist Society. Perhaps you should have done some basic research before popping off on the internet with LIES.
America was better with blue laws.
Exactly, where the hell do they get these drop kicks from...
“My questions?”
“Yes…”
Beautiful
Sen: Kennedy right to the point👉
So they are briefed before hand. This is their profession. They aren’t passing the bar. They are applying for a huge important job. They should know it w/o given a cheat sheet.
Not sufficiently qualified either, other than being a check box token!
@Jumpy That and his command of English make him a BOLD CHECK MARK for the Brandon Dream Regime!
Don't Confirm!
GOD BLESS
SEN KENNEDY 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Like taking a test you did not study for
That person with purple hair behind him looks stange.
Probably because she is a Leftist.
She’s the typical Democrat Party groupie.
She's a Silverback and was doing her morning preening. The Dems bring them along as a distraction.
Diversity hire.
oopsie! looks like someone didn’t watch the whole hearing!
As USUAL... Sen Kennedy... Sets them up... and KNOCKS THEM DOWN!!
Compared to the other nominees this guy is top notch. He answered all the questions honestly and even got 1 right.
Because he had the answers too. What a crooks!
True he didn’t strait up lie or try to avoid answering any questions
He got political question right but had trouble providing an example.
@William Hancock Yeah, he had nothing for the follow up.
Agreed! I felt like he did not bullshit his way into not answering! the others kinda did! He answered honestly
Major respect that the guy actually responded yes or no to the questions.
I just LOVE this Senator John Kennedy-and Senators Like Him!
"If you have to be persuaded, reminded, pressured, lied to, incentivized, coerced, bullied, socially shamed, guilt-tripped, threatened, punished and criminalized … If all of this is considered necessary to gain your compliance - you can be absolutely certain that what is being promoted is not in your best interest.” - Ian Watson
That's what my mom did to get me to eat broccoli. Wish I had this quote when I was 5. 😒
Who is Ian Watson?
@@SquidzitAcesomeone is going up the road
this is not me
@@captainpugwash3791 I think I may have found him. Ian Watson is a British science fiction writer who was born in 1943. He has written more than two dozen novels and many short stories. He is also credited as author of the screen story for the movie A.I. Artificial Intelligence.

I woulnt expect every law professional under consideration for a federal judgeship to be conversant in every detail of every case that has ever been argued. But I would expect them to at least have a firm grasp of the basic principles of the law, particularly the ones that set precedent upon which many further elaborations would later be determined, and know more about it than I do.
Now because this nominee answered the questions and did so honestly when he did not have a clear enough understanding to comment, and having demonstrated his ability to cram for an exam, I will take him at his word that should he be charged with examining an unfamiliar set of circumstances, he will do his homework. Every other nominee has turned to baffle with BS when confronted with a question they could not answer. This is the first judicial nominee I have seen offered up by the current administration who I believe is worthy of a second round of questions. I suspect this guy could actually be a competent judge.
Excellent comment.
The chairman said, "The Kennedy bar exam lives on." Does the chairman think this is a meet and greet?
Obviously Mr. Haney has a history that the chairman is commenting on. If only Hooterville would just recall him.
He's just teasing him a bit. They do it a lot, back and forth.
That guy is an asshole...not a chairman
@@alexthompson9516 It's oddly wholesome. Those two can disagree without getting bogged down in partisanship. They both want what's best, just from different views.
I'm so glad I 'adopted' Senator Kennedy. I'm from Pennsylvania. So, since I cannot move to his district, I've adopted him!
ME TOO… I’m stuck in Central New York State …if my husband and I were not in our late 60’s and early 70’s …WE WOULD GET OUT OF THIS LIBERAL IDEOLOGY STATE ! I think most idiots in Congress and Senate are right here in this State courtesy of NEW YORK CITY !
but you have the illustrious futterman
@@williamkellerchipdrill 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@williamkellerchipdrill Ohmygosh- don’t I know it! Hence, Senator Kennedy is my hope😊
@@michelemcdermott75 Hello 👋,how’re you doing?
I really like this man. I’ve watched a lot of these and he seems the best candidate for the position. Good luck to you Sir.👍🇺🇸
The first question is literally up in the air right now. One of the undecided cases in about religious accomdations so there was no good answer to that question and won't be until at least tomorrow.
I like the guy. At least he’s honest. That’s a rare trait in politics.
Read some of his rulings and case dialogue. You will change your mine. ✌🏼
@@jagodaszubert2404 Well there you have it, research is good. Vernon is bad and bias. Do some.
Jago
So Vernon flat out lying to Senator Kennedy in a room full of government employees while interviewing for the job isn't proof enough that the guy is a bought and paid for Democrat Shill..?
Honest? LOL. About as much as trump which is not at all.
@@hivolt1953 you really should remove trumps orange Cheeto puff from your mouth and live a little
So Senator Kennedy's questions were on his list yet he flat out lied when he said he "could talk about case IF he had prior notice".
*Nice Job Senator Kennedy*
LYING and being a radical leftist is a requirement for the dems 😈
Love how he coughed his gum into this hand then to his pocket 😁😁
Lol...he's gonna circle back to it, later. I hope it's still fresh and minty enough for a few more chomps before offering it up to the Dems for review in committee!
lol gross
In high school, he'd put in a white girl's hair
Can’t stop watching senator kennedy. His wit and intelligence is refreshing in an environment that mostly lacks both.
Dick Durbin's snarky comment at the end of this video should not be overlooked. Does Durbin believe that Kennedy's approach to vetting judicial nominees by asking them questions about the law is somehow unfair? Durbin's comment says more about him than it does about Kennedy.
Funny, I see it differently. Mr. Haney probably rubber stamps reich wing judges.
At least the Guy is honest
Hmm, I don't know shyte either. Maybe I should ask for an appointment to the federal bench? Or for a fruit basket?
At least this criminal administration is consistent. They do as told.
The Army of Locusts: "They charge like warriors; they scale walls like soldiers. They all march in line, not swerving from their course." These lefties stick together like an Army. Read all of Joel 2 and imagine what is being talked about. Joel talks about how destructive the commies are and how nations tremble when they enter as the Chinese are doing, waste follows.
Curious what you’re definition of 'criminal' is, since Biden's administration is no worse - or I should say no more criminal - than any other.
i wonder if he sent him the fruit basket
When I showed up for a job interview I was prepared to answer questions that pertained to my expertise and knowledge. Why on earth do almost everyone of these Democratic nominees never answer a question directly without going into a word salad as our esteemed VP! Thank you Senator for the questions and I will promise to get back with an answer that is prepared by AG garland.
How is he sufficiently informed to be a judge at all?
It’s funny how Chairman Durbin likes to dig at Kennedy when he asks real questions. Durbin thinks they should only be asked about their favorite ice cream flavors.
I thought this nominee did better than the vast majority. He wasn't doing that dumb stalling, 'thank you for the question, senator..." and he was not doing that weird smug non answering or flat, memorized, monotone soundbytes repeated over and over. He was to the point, polite and answered more questions correctly than any other Sen. Kennedy victims 😈. I love Sen K, but I would faint if I was on his bad side and had to answer his questions.
He's honest
When senator Kennedy asks you a question...he already knows the answer....
Forbes, inform 🇺🇸 about Kevin McCarthy Grand Jury testimony ⚖️
Hello 👋,how’re you doing?
As a true American... there's no way to rely solely on any party 🫡🇺🇲
Nothing gets past Kennedy.
"The Kennedy Bar exam continues" That is why I like to watch Sen. Kennedy's committee questionings.
Doesn't seem like a great sign to me when they're being prepped on the questions that may be asked.
And I'm sure that was his point.
100%!
I always wonder what happens to people when they go home after something like this.
God Bless you Senator Kennedy. I love this man, so honest and down to earth
The Chair has a sense of humor👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
He is a keeper
Thats the point his question was on the list.
Some of his previous questions, not necessarily the questions he just put forth.
Don't make assumptions and blow them out of the water, that's what the filth on the left does to control simple minded people.
GOTCHA!
Well, this Candidate seemed relatively direct and forthright in his answers compared to many others that have appeared before Sen. Kennedy, and did nothing but evade and stall.
Good catch. Haven't seen a KCS unit around here often.
Thank you senator Kennedy from Alaska
WoW,
They can never answer a question, it's always i don't know, or I don't know. We can do better than this.
He genuinely didn't know though and admitted so,
Vern not ready for Prime Time. Next!
At least this judge told the truth, unlike others appearing before this committee!
Next if he doesn't know it send him packing
I thought, " preparation" was something you put on your hymrodes.
Hello 👋,how’re you doing?
Bad, unbecoming habit, chewing gum Sen Kennedy.
Possibly had the question in advance and still couldn't answer.
Wow! I would say this man is NOT prepared and doesn't have a clue
Caught out then god for sake to us all normal people, jail time.
"HOW many times did you flunk the bar exam?"
The Congressional Inquisition roles on. You better answer these questions right or you get the rack.
Looks likes someone went to Hillman College..............
And? It doesn’t matter what show this jackass tries to put on, the Dems will vote in favor, its a good thing.
That was powerful ass info Kennedy got there, if you think about it.
Unbelievable
First judicial nominees from Biden administration who can answers questions.
:17... "Give me that sheet".... NEVER HAD TO USE IT!!!
Let you yes be yes and your no be no
Our uncle Bump would always send us a Claxton fruitcake.
Judge Oliver is a sound man. Good for Justice.
Okay, I got to get him some credit, Atleast he didn't try to waist all the time, and actually said i don't know.
I know that this someting to celebrate..but it's more than most do.
At least we have one Senator.1
Unqualified ... as per the course.
Given the questions ahead of time and still unable to answer them...is a good judge so ill prepared? I've got jury duty this week....am I able to quote judicial nominees?....I don't have access to that info right now, but someone in my office will get back to you......judge.
Was he trying to say that he has ask these questions before and he knows the questions prior and he didn't bother to watch the other hearings is that correct?
Block them all!
A professional lawyer lmfao
NO JUDGE IN THE WORLD; WHATS TO TRI; A PRESIDENTUAL CASE; DURING AN ELECTION CYCLE;
I love how all these people always work in how long they've been doing....whatever.
Can’t answer, damn
Big fan here of Sen. Kennedy. He shoots straight from the hip. I would however say, this nominee is the first and maybe only candidate the Biden admin presented before the Senate that is not a chameleon. I would say, give him the nomination. Perhaps Biden appointed him by mistake. As you all know they go by some color, gender qualifications and such.
Who is the chairman in this committee to make such a condescending comment at the end??
SEND US A FRUIT BASKET. WE'RE THE ONES THAT PAY FOR IT, 😂.
Hello 👋,how’re you doing?
At least he kinda told the truth on the last question. The rest was a, welcome to the lefty "word salad" bar.
Here is another one of them,😊😊😊
Thanking someone for every question they ask is absurdly fake, phony, and disingenuous. I wouldn't vote to approve this nominee simply because he asks himself questions aloud when he's asked a question.
Love how he says mmmmk like that teacher from South Park
How did this man become a judge??
He needs to change his name. He dishonors it.
😂 Am I the only one who's dying over the fruit basket joke? Lord I must have no life LOL
a fruit basket😂😂😂
STOP SAYING THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION WHEN YOU HAVE NO INTENTION OF ANSWERING IT THE THANK YOU IS PHONY
Love these. "Attorney define Stare Decisis". Senator thank you for the question, I've spent 18 years on the supreme/mighty/high court of the district of and have handled many cases that I am extremely proud of the outcome". "Yes but can you define Stare Decisis?"...etc
Employers are required to accommodate the religious beliefs and practices of applicants and employees due to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination based on religion. This includes refusing to accommodate an employee's sincerely held religious beliefs or practices unless the accommodation would impose an undue hardship (more than a minimal burden on operation of the business).
The political question doctrine holds that some questions, in their nature, are fundamentally political, and not legal, and if a question is fundamentally political, then the court will refuse to hear that case. It will claim that it doesn't have jurisdiction. And it will leave that question to some other aspect of the political process to settle out.
What a cheat giving question to study.
