Republicans and Democrats criticized Trump’s nominee to the powerful Second Circuit Court of Appeals for dodging their questions as well as his prior controversial writings
Republicans and Democrats on Wednesday castigated President Donald Trump’s nominee to the powerful Second Circuit Court of Appeals for dodging their questions as well as his prior controversial writings.
“You said something about trial lawyers that I particularly don’t like,” said Graham, who asked Menashi if he had ever represented a client in court. Graham cited his own experience as a plaintiff’s lawyer and said that he “didn’t have time to do frivolous lawsuits.” Menashi said he merely intended to point out “that many states that are well known as liberal democracies have a linguistic or ethnic basis” and that “Israel was not out of the norm.”
Graham even came to Feinstein’s defense after Menashi responded briefly to similar questions from Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri.“Mr. Menashi we’re not going to do this, you’re not going to answer his questions and not answer hers,” Graham said. “Counsel, you’re a really smart guy but I wish you’d be more forthcoming,” Kennedy told Menashi. “This isn’t supposed to be a game, we’re supposed to try to understand not how you’re going to rule but how you’re going to think.”
