Blumenthal
Ed.
note:
Welcome
to
our
daily
feature, Quote
of
the
Day.
The
answers
here,
which
obviously
are
canned,
they
are
prerehearsed,
they
are
Orwellian
in
their
denial
of
reality,
and
they
are
a
subversion
of
this
process.
They
are
an
insult
to
this
committee,
but
they
also
fundamentally
show
a
complete
lack
of
independence
and
backbone
and
impartiality,
which
are
the
fundamental
requirements
of
a
United
States
district
court
judge,
or
a
judge
on
any
panel.
—
Sen.
Richard
Blumenthal,
D-CT,
losing
his
patience
during
the
nomination
hearing
for
Nelson
Mullins
Riley
&
Scarborough
partner
Sheria
Clarkе.
Clarke
was
tapped
by
President
Trump
to
fill
a
federal
district
court
vacancy,
and
appeared
before
the
Senate
Judiciary
Committee
yesterday.
Clarke
was
unable,
or
perhaps
more
accurately,
unwilling,
to
answer
who
won
the
2020
and
2024
elections,
instead
giving
nonanswers
about
the
process
of
electing
the
president.
