‘What Did You Mean When You Said That?’ Ted Cruz Grills Judicial Nominee over Past Statements

At this week’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz grilled Lucy Koh, nominee to be United States Circuit Judge for the Ninth Circuit, on her past statements.

He noted when she was a student at Harvard Law School, she participated in a 25-hour sit-in in the dean’s office pressing for racial quotas and hiring at the law school. Her proposed solution was, “Minority judges still need to maintain the disguise of objectivity or else face challenges to their decisions.”

She later said, “That minority judge is going to identify with their own experiences but she can’t admit this. We’ve got to be more clever and say, look, we’re just as neutral as any 60-year-old white man.”

 

Cruz noted she has tried to back away from the statements since that time.

More recently, Koh “determined that a state regulation that banned Bible study, that banned collective prayer, that banned worship in an individual’s home while at the same time allowing activities like in-home commercial filming was neutral.”

This is the nominee Biden’s team wants on the U.S. Circuit Court. Cruz is right to call out her past and point out she has no place leading as a judge. Watch their exchange and Cruz’s epic takedown.

  1. Ted Cruz did a great job. If she can or will not answer the question now, then what would she do as a judge who doesn’t have to answer to anyone?

  2. The Skank Lying CHINK DEVIL, is a COMMIE P.O.S. The HO needs disbarred & kicked out of the country, back to the CHINK shit hole the dog eating Skank came from.

  3. This witch would not answer any question – just give gobblygook answers to Sen Cruz. What’s more, she hides behind opinions of the 9th , the most corrupt and overturned circuit court in the land!

  4. UNHONORABLE LUCY KOH , YES , BE VERY CAREFUL ON HOW YOU COVER YOUR LIES WITH YET , ANOTHER LIE !!! You are yet another example of what is SO WRONG WITH AMERICA !!! I am DISGUSTED that you even entertain yourself as a judge who decide who gets to do whatever , and who doesn’t !!! This disturbing video of the way your brain works TELLS ME THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL YOU ARE FIT TO BE A JUDGE AT “”ANY LEVEL”” I beg you STEP DOWN and MOVE TO A DIFFERENT CARRER MORE FITTING TO YOUR WAY OF THINKING !!! Likie Hmmm, lets say a JANITOR OR GARBAGE COLLECTOR !!! YOU MAKE ME WANT TO -PUKE- !!!

  5. This is the problem with our court system today. “I followed precedent”…NO CASE SHOULD EVER BE BASED ON PRECEDENCE! 100% should be based on the applicable CONSTITUTION! If one judge or circuit court gets an opinion wrong…other judges/circuit courts lazily base their opinions on previous courts….WHY? That is insane, ridiculous, and WRONG!
