What's the functional difference between the dazzler and his mythical law degree and democrat federal district judge? None, just a wad of feelings and an inability to express policy issues based on actual facts. Also, an inability to accept responsibility for published statements.
Watch: Biden Judicial Nominee Who Wanted To Ban 'Assault Weapons' Can’t Define What They Are | ZeroHedge
Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) asked U.S. District Judge Nancy Maldonado of the Northern District of Illinois to define “assault weapons” during Wednesday’s
nomination hearing before the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary.
In
, Mr. Kennedy cited a legal brief that Judge Maldonado signed years ago.
“You said, ‘assault weapons may be banned because they’re extraordinarily dangerous and are not appropriate for legitimate self-defense purposes,’” Mr. Kennedy said. “Tell me what you meant by assault weapons.”
Judge Maldonado, who has been nominated by President Joe Biden for a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, struggled to reply to the question.
“I did not write the brief,” she said, prompting the Republican senator to point out that she signed the brief and asked her whether in so doing she was “testifying to the court that everything in it is true.”
“Yes,” she replied.
“So they’re your words in terms of the court, right?” he asked.
“You’re correct, Senator Kennedy,” prompting him to ask again what she meant by “assault weapons.”
“I am not a gun expert,” Judge Maldonado then said, with Mr. Kennedy pressing the issue, asking her to “just tell me what you wanted to ban.”
“I don’t remember the exact definition of ‘assault weapons’ in the ordinance that was at issue,” she said, before adding that she signed off on the brief but “was not responsible for researching the content.”
