Sen. Kennedys Brutal Takedown of Dem Witness | Political News
Sen. John Kennedy got here loaded for bear when questioning Kate Shaw in the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday. Shaw was invited by the Democrats. She’s a University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School professor and an ABC News contributor. She also occurs to be married to MSNBC host Chris Hayes.
The subject in dialogue was judicial overreach. Among the topics under that rubric was nationwide injunctions.
Our sister web site, PJ Media, reported Kennedy requested if any of the panel of witnesses thought that “nationwide or universal injunctions are not being abused.”
Shaw mentioned that in her opinion, she did not see any abuse in the final 4 months. But that did not impress Kennedy, and he defined to her why he did not assume a lot of what she had to say.
🚨THAT’S GOTTA HURT: Senator Kennedy just eviscerated this Democrat witness’ credibility on rogue judges and the weaponization of the judicial department.

“I’ve read your stuff, and, and I’ve read your writings,” he replied. “I don’t wanna get bogged down with this, but I have little respect for your opinion because I’ve read your stuff.”
“When someone is in the White House that you agree with and someone gets a universal injunction against him, you don’t like universal injunctions,” Kennedy mentioned bluntly. “You called them, ‘judges acting like they’re politicians in robes and judges looking like crass political actors.’ But now that President Trump’s in the White House — who you dislike — you think that universal injunctions taste like pumpkin pie.”
Ouch.
Kennedy mentioned he discounted what she had to say, and he fearful “that that’s what you’re teaching your kids.”
But Kennedy had more in the tank, and her response was something else.
“On April 22nd, 2024, you said there are some members of the Supreme Court that are evil. Which justices were you talking about?” he asked.

She protested that she didn’t think that she’d said it. But he told her when and in what context it was said. He pressed her and asked her to “own up to it.” “You’re an officer of the court,” he said. He stated that he was embarrassed that she was “educating our youngsters.” She said again that she didn’t think she would have said it. That’s when he raised his voice, which he rarely does, “You did!…massive as Dallas!”
That’s when he delivered the coup de grace for her being there, “And you are right here advising us to be respectful of federal judges? And you say they’re evil, members of the Supreme Court? Gag me with a spoon!” He mentioned she was half of the issue.
That was a savage takedown, even by Kennedy requirements.
