    And one of the more embarrassing moments for the Senate which is supposed to distinguish itself in these matters the despicable Sen. Hirono shows her true colors and arse asking the distinguish Judge Barrett

    ""since you became a legal adult, have you ever made unwanted requests for sexual favors or committed any verbal or physical harassment or assault of a sexual nature?""

    Really? If she had to ask that question why didn't she do it in the privacy of her office rather than before the entire country. Was there some premise to her question? She said she asks everyone who come before her this question, really? Has she no class?

    "Hirono does this to every nominee, but still. COME ON. I do not believe her motives are pure in this sense. Plus her young children are sitting in the front row."

    Why were her children there? What do you think Hirono's motives were in doing this (if it's a pattern with her)?

    Somebody on the committee has to ask so the Answer is on record in case anything comes up in the future. Due diligence.

    It’s what the Senate is tasked with doing. It’s not always pretty, but it has to go on record. Anything that might put a Justice at risk for blackmail has to be probed.

    Thanks for responding to my question. I understand the due diligence part. I think that kind of thing would have been found when she was vetted before the nomination but I understand why it has to be asked and answered on the official record.

    I am trying to understand why her children (I'm assuming the OP meant Barrett's children) were there if she was being questioned on record?

    She was already vetted for the 7th circuit court. NOW you want to play politics?

    I love Hawaii. I spend time there whenever I can. However, they citizens need to find someone else. Hirono is a damn nutcase. Please find another Democrat... or Republican... or anyone.

    Why not, given she is a Trump nominee? Anything he endorses is suss. I'd question everything he does. He is a Caligulan fraud so he needs frauds and yes men around him, not smart people who will sort him out and defy him.

    It's not like the disgusting pigs that do that kind of thing will admit it, when asked; but I agree it should be asked of all employment candidates in every sector.

    Wow, you must love crawling YouTube for fake pedo clips ;)

    Very clear here with sound and non-blurry video."Sessions is not swatting Joe Biden's hand away. He is clearing his granddaughter's hair which got tangled up in Sessions' jacket button."

    Like I said before, it's all you guys have got...

    Hillarious. She’ll deny that her entire career began by giving BJs to a married man twice her age. And she is the audacity to comment on Trumps affairs. The irony is as thick as she is phony.

    It's the biggest moment in their mother's life to date? Why wouldn't they be there?

    To not be exposed to exactly what happened. I can understand it for the confirmation and swearing in, but it seems like the kids should have at least been removed during the questioning (especially since the Senator says she asks that question of every candidate).

    Her answer was "Go **** yourself."

    Don't worry - Demokrats still have all day to produce some charlatan accusing her of gang rape.

    I don't see the harm. Why didn't they ask her if she ever kidnapped someone? Why didn't they go through the whole US code and ask her if she committed any of those crimes?

    Really? I think I would have heard if that was her real answer.

    You mean she didn't answer a simple question like that? Can't imagine a SCOTUS nominee avoiding answering questions...

    I asked the question because the OP commented on the question being asked in front of her children.

    For the rest of your post, I'm not part of the process so I don't know why they didn't ask those other questions.
