Sen. Ted Cruz called upon his Democratic colleagues to impose higher standards for President Biden's judicial nominees instead of providing a 'rubber stamp.'

the administration of trying to"flood the zone with so many bad nominees" so that Republicans could not focus too much on every one of them. Cruz picked out a few, including Nancy G. Abudu, who served as deputy legal director for the Southern Poverty Law Center, a group that published an article accusing Republicans on the committee of having"open white supremacist views."

He also mentioned Nusrat Jahan Choudhury, who once said the law should be used"as a tool of social justice," and Kenly Kiya Kato, who would not say racial discrimination is wrong when Cruz asked her about it at her confirmation hearing. Cruz then mentioned Dale Ho, who once wrote about how he is motivated by"hate" for conservatives. The senator also brought up another nominee, who was not up for a vote at Thursday's meeting. That was Charnelle Bjelkengren, who Cruz said was"wildly unqualified," recalling how Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., had asked her what Article V and Article II of the Constitution were, and she did not know either one.

"I would ask this committee, is there anyone — if the White House nominates a ham sandwich, are the Democrats prepared to rubber stamp Judge Ham Sandwich?" Cruz asked.

Maybe the republicans should have done that when Trump put all the racist and anti women ones on the Supreme Court

Does he mean like 2 of the SCOTUS noms trump put up? There were also dozens ruled as not qualified y'all supported

Like all of trumps were qualified. Some in fact had never been in a court room

Like the republicans did with the radical supreme court justice picks by the Ultra maga crazies?

mrddmia Yeah🤣🤣🤣, good luck with that! That is what they want, that is who they are nominating. Jeesh Ted, you know that! You see it in every face of the administration, they're are nothing but 🤡's, not a single qualified person!
