You cannot elect a judge that cannot answer simple questions. This would be a tragedy for justice.
She knows the answer but can’t actually say it because she is a fascist activist
She has all the answers but she has to parse every syllable
Here’s the thing though; she already is a judge!!! She is just being nominated for a higher court!
The question is what sort of verdicts has she been rendering up to this point?
None of these folks ever have a yes or no answer on Biden’s picks , there all evil lol
She isn't being elected.
"as a judge I do not deal with issues of morality." this has got to be the stupidest thing i have ever heard.
Well we don’t do morality anymore a ? , well we know everything we need to know about you .
Should judge's sense of morality affect how judgement is rendered? If law says slavery is legal, should judge ignore the law because he/she thinks it's immoral? It's a common debate point at law school. How about guns? If a judge thinks it's immoral to have guns on school grounds, can he imprison a teacher for having gun at school when the law says he can? Morality is subjective, law is not. Judge should always ethically make legal rules, not moral rules.
The playbook is to PRETEND to be loyal to precedent to get nominated, so they can pontificate on the immorality of the law, bloviate on how morally superior they are and how they must tear down the legal standards of oppression. Theater, and bad theater at that.
This is all a game … kangaroo court … it’s like a SNL skit
@@dk418 Yes, it should affect the issue, welcome to the world of common law. Morality is always used in decisions, it is the imperative and underscore of the law itself. Law is always balanced with personal and socital morality in literally every important case ruling in history...
This was painful to watch. This woman should never be near a court.
💯
She was confirmed hahahah
All of them always say "I don't remember, I'll look into talk later, I cannot speak of behalf of and many more".
She can't answer a simple question. She should resign from office ASAP.
We've lowered the bar so low now that incompetence is the new normal.
1:35 _Harvard_
incompetence is required, intellect is not, principles are not wanted, self sufficiency is not wanted.
The disgraced, twice impeached former president had a number of judicial candidates rated not qualified by the bar association that Cancun Teddy voted for.
@@ConsensusReality you mean the one who was acquitted twice in the Senate?
This is horrific
I don’t understand why these nominees can’t just answer the questions they are asked !!!!
Democrats
@@randallharrison3254 Yep if lips are moving you know they are lying Democrats.
Was Asians part of Affirmative Action?
Have you ever seen any one of them answer any questions? Republicans or Democrats they do the same. And cruz is just a clown just looking for gotcha questions for fox news soundbites.
@@abelincoln7346 Yes, they were held to a higher standard than everyone else. Thereby limiting their potential as they literally had to out perform everyone else just to be even. That is what Cruz is talking about when he mentions that Harvard is before the Supreme Court right now for doing
Unbelievable, “is race discrimination wrong?” Literally the easiest answer in the world, and she fumbled.
Cruz for President!!
@@zombieheadpopper800go away
Because she KNOWS that if she answers truthfully then she'll be forced to deal with the contradiction in her agenda. She knows the logical loophole that she has and refuses to go down that hypocritical road. If you love affirmative action, great - just say so! It's infuriating.
The strategy is to stonewall, use as many extra words as she can over 5 minutes, and just "get through it."
If we did a drinking game for every time she says, "Senator, again..." we'd have to call the paramedics for alcohol poisoning.
She didn't fumble. Her ideology would be revealed by an honest answer. She's fine with racism and racial discrimination.
Its a very obvious question with two choices o e of which is very obviously the correct answer but these liberals can't answer basic questions.
Can’t believe she’s a judge.
This woman is a Harvard graduate? I’m embarrassed for Harvard.
her family must have paid for that diploma
@@jr1252 she must have taken the CRT route
Harvard's .....Affirmative grad
The TYPICAL Harvard graduate.
Does Cruz help or hamper?
This is unbelievable. If she were in any other job interview for any other organization, she would never be hired!
Yep. But government is different. You are usually hired because you're crazy, not in spite of it.
@@JohnSmith-ys4nl crazy and incompetent of keeping a job in the private sector.
Employers have to hire people like her. It's the law. Maybe she'll sue because she didn't get the job based on biases that the senator thinks you should have intelligence and a moral compass. She can't answer a basic moral question.
If they cannot answer a yes or no question - they should not be appointed. Period.
If she would get her teenage hairdo our of her face, she may be able to think properly.
As she refuses to answer a simple question, she is obviously hiding something and she does not want to open up about her past.
She is applying to become a Federal judge for life in the US!!?!? The US is declining if this is the quality of the candidates.
Never a straight answer. Ever.
What would joe Biden say?
It is so frustrating when these people cannot answer a simple question of morality, yet are seeking positions where their moral center will decide the lives of others. Frightening. She should never hold any position of power over anyone else, nor should any politician who refuses to answer the simplest of questions.
THERE'S SOMETHING VERY VERY WRONG WHEN A PERSON REFUSES TO ANSWER A SIMPLE YES OR NO QUESTION WITH A SIMPLE YES OR NO.
I don't get it. This is her job interview. She can't answer the most basic questions. I swear if he asked her if the sky is blue, she would do everything to avoid saying 'yes'.
“SeNaDeRrr”
Correction: She can answer it. She just won't answer it.
I'm just surprised that Ted can even remember his own name.
@@davidhughes8357 I'm sure that sounded funnier in your head
The sky is black
It’s amazing that she will not answer. Scary that she is a Judge. Wish I had a dollar for every time she said Senitor
Yeah, the "senator" thing irritated me too. Why can't she just answer yes or no? It's a simple question. Do you still agree with what you wrote then?
@@robinstewart6510 Mark Zuckerberg started it and they, the sheep, followed. It's a tactic, calling them by their title over and over. The senators should tell them to stop thanking them for the question and stop saying senator.
@@robinstewart6510 Senator...
@@robinstewart6510 The questions require a more elaborate answer not a yes or no, using certain words, repeating them actually it’s a strategy in order to gain time, in order to answer something even tough it has nothing to do with a possible answer, as well as irritating the other party… her whole demeanor is weird starting with her face hidden half way by her hair… looks like a teenager with issues… the style…
SenAtor
"As a judge i dont deal with issues of morality" these people are unbelievable
That's actually the most honest thing she said. Her job is to interpret the law. It's the legislature's job to insert collective morality into the laws. The problem is, she's shown that she's not capable of interpreting the law.
@brandonbuchner1771 I wouldn't use the term "honest."
Nothing these people say means anything. The left is never held accountable for their actions or words. I don't see y your rebutting this one
@brandonbuchner1771 if you're a judge and you've not once considered morality in any of your cases/sentencing, I question your Judgement.
@@ahorvath102194 These people are clueless. I guess they think Judges should be NPCs.
Hiding half her face behind her hair says a lot about her character.
AGREE
Round and round she goes, what she believes no one knows.
Well said!
Yep. That's how those Socialists 'roll'. Hahaha.
True
You said it in a nutshell!
cruz seems angry. He should take a vacation to mexico.
The only word that comes to mind after watching this entire thing is “PAINFUL” How hard is it to say “I no longer stand by that statement or I fully stand by my statement.” These people constantly fail upward and have zero integrity.
Anita Hill needs to be nominated.
How about a simple Yes or No even?
@@nevaehstarrojas3918 That's not a how judicial nomination process works. You have to maintain, or at least a visibility of, impartiality divorced from moral sentiments, however widely echoed.
@@kate9576
Much more qualified than the mediocrity whom she accused.
This way she can’t be wrong because she simply fails to answer.
How on earth these people can become judge ? Mind blowing
Heart blowing too !
She should be embarrassed and the people should be appalled
such dishonesty and lack of transparency
Lack of Candor.
Any nominees Republican or Democrat that cannot give a straight answer should not get Senate approval.
Same s*** every video no answers and no backbones and no accountability
@@jackblack6844 You said it, brother.
Then that rules out the most recently inducted Supreme Court judge.
@@jackblack6844 I've seen more spine in jellyfish...
If that were the case, 7 of the 9 justices sitting on the Supreme Court wouldn’t be there today…in a perfect world we would also have a court that doesn’t have lifetime appointments and term limits for all of congress. FOTM is that judges are supposed to be completely obtuse, because that’s what being non biased is.
Every time she is asked to confirm her own stupidity, I believe her heart beats as fast as her fluttering eyelids!
you mean fluttering eyelid. 😀 I would like to trim that hair off her face.
She will behave with her own ideas not the constitution or anything for justice
Wow, just wow. That woman should not only NOT be appointed to the bench, she should be disbarred after that interview.
I get ur sentiment but she’s walking on broken glass up there. How would you feel if you had to go in front of the senate when you were trying to get promoted? My point with this is that if she stays calm and gives meh answers then she’ll get in, but if she gives bold answers or says one thing out of line she’s out of there. Not to mention they’ll bring up any bold statements she makes here in the future. It reminds me of how Beto said he was coming for our guns and now that’s all he’s remembered for. She doesn’t want to be Beto.
That would be logical but we dont do that in the west anymore. So cut that out.
@@KachinaPeak the problem is theres already troubling things shes said and having no answer rather than a bold answer isnt much better. How it looks to the public when she dodges the same basic question so much that the senator has to break it down further and further to the point hes trying to get through to a child. All these nominees are the same they just couldnt help but get emotional and go on twitter or write something in the past. She should be thrown out with anyone else linked to the left. Weve had enough weak left wing madness its out of toutch it doesnt work and th3se people need to be punished.
@@KachinaPeak "if she stays calm and give meh answers then she'll get in." This is exactly why this government is so f up.
This is what we get for giving women so many rights.
Lack of preparation isn't the problem, the problem is that she *did* prepare for this hearing.
She has Sergeant Schultz Syndrome I see nothing I know nothing.
That is a scary thought..
Exactly. Studied how to get out of answering questions
I’m so thankful there vetted like this , it’s a dangerous time in politics to be so careful vigilant and of sound mind is critical to our (real) democracy not there made up as we go along ideology of democracy.
@@kennethmeeker6369 I hate to say this but if the 2020 election taught me anything it's that we don't live in a constitutional republic, we live in the normal human condition that has prevailed since the dawn of civilization -- a fascistic oligarchy. This is the tried-and-true basic state of human political behavior. It's how we evolved.
What's wrong with these Judges? It's really scary that they make decisions about people's lives but cannot answer simple YES or NO questions. Its truly scary.!!! 😐
This is exactly why we are in the state we are in.
They evade, avoid , procrastinate,
mislead , etc etc, .
So fed up with all this BS.
She should be dismissed as a judge nomination just based on her reaction to pressure, that was a crazy amount of blinking
And study tells us that is a common reaction from someone being willfully untruthful or dishonest. Take this garbage out, it stinks.
Someone feeling anxious or telling a lie blinks more often, and a person deep in concentration or thought blinks less often. But what if you blink far more or far less than the average? Excessive blinking may indicate the onset of Tourette syndrome, strokes, or disorders of the nervous system.
Honorable blinky
@@OleNieling Liars tend to blink more because lying is stressful. Under stress, eye blink rate increases (Mann, 2013). People tend to blink more rapidly when they become nervous or when they hear or see something unpleasant
She did a tremendous job of hiding behind her hair. I guess she thought she was invisible.
Thank you for showing how someone like her who can not answer a simple question does not need to be a judge for life.
Oh, she COULD answer it but she knows she'd put herself in a bad light.
She already put herself in the worst of light. By skipping and hopping around the answer. She's just a lion sack of doodoo
Try asking her if she knows what a woman is.
@@laurenceseale😀
How is she unable to say YES, racial discrimination is WRONG.
Without your preparation for this hearing we so no to your lifetime judgeship she can’t and won’t be honest
Jesus.... Another activist that won't answer questions. And with out "context" of something she wrote and said she reviewed it. Ffs... Just more burn up the timer with out answering anything.
She says his name every single time to burn about a second for every question.
Please leave Jesus out of it
Another nut case who not bright at all.
Please reject this nominee. She is either lying or incompetent, and neither is good. She reviewed something she wrote as a 23 year old right before the hearing and doesn't remember the context???
He very specifically asked her, more than once, whether that was her stance today. She continually neglects to answer simple questions, with yes, or no, answers, in order to run out the clock
She will get voted in because the Dumocrats will vote for her.
@@keithfreitas2983 We will see. Until now NO law of Biden has passed the Senate :D
You need to watch more judiciary committee hearings.
They are all like this. Every single nominee refused to answer questions.
@@acmenipponair why lie?
Do you just assume your audience isn't going to check it? You're probably right. Unfortunately for you, I'm not your audience.
The Senate increased the debt limit on Dec 14, 2021.
The Senate extended gov't funding, 69-28 on Dec 2, 2021.
Aug 10, Aug 11, June 8, April 29, 2021 all passed budget-related stuff.
April 22, a measure to combat hate crimes against Asian-Americans passed the Senate 94-1(only Senator Hawley likes hate crimes against Asian-Americans)
On July 29, the Senate unanimously approved emergency funding for the Capitol police and for expanding the Afganistan visa program.
You are a liar. You just make stuff up. You should be ashamed of yourself.
When you blatantly refuse to answer every question, you should be fired.
It is very hard to believe that Kato is a Judge at all. She did not answer any questions. She doesn’t even appear to be intelligent at all.
It is painful to watch these future bureaucrats dodge even the simplest of questions. No wonder our country is in the trouble that it is in.
Not a bureaucrat, but a federal judge for life!!!
they are afraid to answer because they dont want to upset thier base . when can change weekly..
@@randy1ization If that is true, I am very concerned about the mental stability of their base.
Do not give her the job
@@ultimategaming5022 Tell that to the Democrats.
She is a pure evil liar, I would not trust this woman.....
Amazing, isn't it? They never, ever answer a question.
Her translated response is, "Senator, your question is just too hard for me to truthfully answer. Please stop asking me to stand-up for what I produced in Harvard Law school." "I only wrote that paper to get a passing grade and to show that I could think outside the box". Well, she certainly thinks outside the box doesn't she now. She would rip the lips off some poor defendant who came before her as she presented herself to this Senate Judicial Nominee hearing. And to think she wants to be a Supreme Court judge........FOR LIFE!! Oh h*ll no! Simply Ludicrous. 👎🏽Thank you Senators Grassley and Cruz.
She knows. She's dodging the question. Then she should not be a life long judge. She has failed already the American people.
I feel sorry for those people who “UNFORTUNATELY” had to go before her in Court! She’s Definitely Crooked 😡
The American people are a failure, so it fits quite nicely...
Because these nominees don’t love the constitution and truth in general, they cannot be plain spoken or give a straight answer because it’s not in their hearts.
Like you're a constitutional scholar
@@ab8588 So you're saying that purple suspenders grow on ice cream trees?
Well said. They are so accustomed to lying that they can't make a true statement when they have to.
I wouldn't nominate her to serve fries in a burger joint 🤡🤡
@@neill.m.herbert @R R. Didn’t reply to you or me; it’s a sure sign of a hit and run troll.
It's extremely sad to see a judge nominee could have failed to answer a straightforward and simple question as such.
If you answered her like this in her courtroom, you would be held in contempt.
"Is racial discriminarion wrong?" The only correct answer to this question is a *snap* YES. As soon as the candidate attempted to dodge the question I knew which side I stood on.
"Senator, again, I don't want to talk about my wokeness." Seems like people don't like their tweets and papers read back to them who plan on being judges.
She’s there to discuss her credentials and legal philosophy. Not her “wokeness” or personal political beliefs.
SOMEBODY! Get this woman a barrett!
@@jacksoncowsert6964 So you're in favor of her being appointed to the job? Her personal beliefs have nothing to do with how she will do the job?
@@jacksoncowsert6964 No wonder you have no followers and an empty profile. Welcome to you tube where you can never be sure whether the person to whom you are replying actually exists.
@@phylliscole4331 Whether or not her personal beliefs will affect how she does her job is important. Whats not important is her personal beliefs.
Outrageous that these ppl are so afraid of answering truthfully. Should be a requirement to take the bench, no dodging questions.
I did not know there was So much discrimination so far up the ladder my God. What happened to our country? was our country ever our country?😮😮😮
Very disturbing that Kato is even in her current position much less being nominated to the US District Judge for Central District of CA. God help us!
Cruz should have asked if sending people of Japanese decent into internment camps during WW2 was the right or wrong thing to do. The answer would have been priceless.
She probably would have unironically said that they were "just following orders"
@@bobflemmet7454 sadly, I believe that you are correct.
Good point in arguing a case to be made, go to logical possible conclusions and back away.. to find where.. 'it is wrong'.
her answer " that paper was co written by a fellow student"
If I was a person who could read body language, I would say that the judge's eye fluttering is her panic button going into overdrive as her brain is trying to think on how to get herself out of this situation.
Talk about avoiding the question and admitting your guilt!
It's sad how some people can't accept the fact that their wrong and need to take accountability.
Lifetime appointments need to be removed
Why is it no matter what crimes you find politician have committed they stay in office and are not prosecuted for those crimes?
OMG....she was about to cry. At the end, she is throwing a classmate under the bus LOL.
God help us
most every nominee is just as bad --- we are F'd
This is a judge that is looking at their plaintiff with only one eye. Shows lots of professionalism.
That hair needs to be swept off her face.
Yea!! what the F is with that hair?!!
She said Senetor 1000 times😂
Shuck, jive, duck, dodge these people should be playing basketball, not up for judge position.
Wow. I've never seen anyone be so evasive. Every response she gave began with the words, "Again...". Cruz, quite rightly, just moved on each time, knowing that she was not going to answer a single question. God help us from such hypocrites and liars.
Imagine being in a courtroom with her as a judge and “answering” questions like she is “isn’t” I’m thinking she would go crazy and hold you in contempt
Yeah, she could be a dangerous choice...
I tried to put myself in her place and wondering why was shr so hesitant...a number of reasons
1) she is expecting the question on something she wrote about and normally she aimed to keep the stance she had (or would do everything to dodge around not to confirm nor deny it)
2) discrimination, for her it is not necessairily something wrong because it depends on which side you are when there is a discrimination
3) she is always being put in defensive mode and they are making it difficult for her to get out of that mode
Cruz should have asked her that...would you as a judge found what you are doing now be contempt?
Yep
SHE'S SO CONDESCENDING TO SENATOR TED CRUZ
For a potential district judge she sure says "I don't know" a lot.
Why is almost half her face hiding behind her hair? Id think it'd be important for Senators to see a complete facial expression when they're asking questions and vetting a candidate especially for such an important position.
These candidates are so slimy, obfuscating when asked simple questions.
Research covering one eye and what it means. Use Duck Duck Go.
I was thinking there same thing. Any are you hiding your gave. She is signalling to the Democratic party
She's is signalling to the Democratic party with a half face exposure
That went poorly. Can she not have anticipated that line of questioning, knowing that Cruz would be one of her inquisitors on the committee? Especially in view of the fact that there is a highly publicized suit pending against their shared alma mater? Did she never have to study for finals at Harvard Law?
Socialists believe they are invulnerable to criticism. It's a self-inflicted blindspot they use to trample over the rights of others constantly. So this Socialists couldn't care less about what questions Cruze had. That's practically written on her face.
If you cannot answer a simple question, immediate disqualification. It's scary she holds even her current role.
Senator is the only word she knows.
Where are they getting all these lunatics?
They believe that conservatives have appointed radicals to the bench incorrectly. Therefore they believe they are reciprocating. It's always how it goes. A good example of this would be MSNBC being as partisan as it thinks Fox is. They ideologically escalate constantly.
Harvard
@@20alphabet😀
Wow. The fact she’s even sitting there being interviewed and will not answer the first question….
Unprepared and unfit
how come that a Judge nominee seemed to be forgetful of something she passionately wrote in the lawschool😅
I have a lot of respect for Sen. Cruz and I can't understand how he remains so calm when people are thumbing their noses at him. He asks very direct and pointed questions that simply require a yes or no answer but Biden nominees just can't bring themselves to answer. Equivocation, in my mind, is a failure of character. This woman does not deserve to be on ANY bench as a judge.
I have a hard time even focusing on what her responses are because... "Senaatoor..."
Cruz only has so much time to vett her but it doesn't matter anyway Biden's nominee's will not answer a straight forward question just like Joe Biden does when he answers questions from the media.
valley girl?
@@slowginn7712
He always answers Media : 4 SCOOPS OF CHOCO CHOCO CHIP !!
She’s the PERFECT LAWYER, CANNOT ANSWER A SINGLE QUESTION.
Once people enter into such positions all they start thinking is how they can fill their pockets hence they drop all reasoning at the doors. God help us
A Harvard educated judge who can't say whether racial discrimination is wrong. That tells you everything you need to know about ANY judge who can't verbally state that it's dead wrong.
it amazes me how hard it is for these nominees to just answer a yes or no question every time
Over and over again... These same people who are in power or elected refuse to answer. But these same judges will throw Republicans in jail if they refuse. It's truly scary to be in this country with all the corruption they bring.
She has no business being on a bench or presiding over any case.
I imagine if I was a witness in her courtroom, those type of answers would not go over to well. Obviously the law does not apply to her. What a disgrace to the American judicial system.
Here we go again, it's just a simple yes or no question. If she cannot answer the question she is obviously corrupt. Time to move on. Next candidate.
You liked vanilla ice cream when you were 23… Do you like vanilla now ? Senator,I don’t remember if I liked vanilla ice cream..

I love when he starts put in a low voice and then you start hearing the modulation increase awesome

Hysterical!
Imagine how easily those question could answered - if she were just honest.
She is a judge I could imagine her as a witness, answering questions no wait NOT answering questions. APPALLING!
How sad! God bless America!!!
Great! Let her fumble. It will make their party even worse than it already is. Where's popcorn????
What person is listening to this woman's non-answers and saying: "Yeah! You go Kenly! Dodge those questions!"
um, all the Liberals. all of them. cos Cruz and something about Trump and Russia and shut up!
When the nominee says "senator" to start their response, you know a lie is coming.
