Having watched a number of Biden court nominee hearings, you can’t help but admire the incisive questioning by Senators Josh Hawley, Tom Cotton and Ted Cruz. And nothing is more entertaining than John Kennedy’s homespun wit, when to leftist advocate Myrna Perez he remarked: “And I understand you’ve been advised to say ‘precedent’. Precedent, precedent, precedent. When in doubt. Is it raining outside? ‘Precedent!’ But it inhibits our ability to have a rational discussion.” So the grilling of Pérez, and her impressive helmet of hair, may have seemed like a moment of transcendent wit and chess playing to progressives.
