It's funny, these people are so thankful for the questions, yet , not one of them will answer the questions they are so thankful for
You got it.
Thank you senator for that question. I'll invoke the 5th Ammendment and therefore not answer in any way, shape, or form. You can, however ask me any question which I will gladly answer.
Yeah! They're full of shit, plain and simple!
@@unbroken7189 Not answering the questions should automatically be grounds for not confirming them. I'm glad that some of them have started to be told that to their faces. 👊🏼🇺🇸
So true, its tired.
Kennedy is a True Patriotic AMERICA 1ST Senator 🇺🇸❣️
Where is the proof of his patriotism?
@@blessingjohnchelliah4317 You have demonstrated your lack of it
@@billwilson2160 He just likes to hear his own voice. Name on patriotic thing he has done for his constituents.
As a native of Louisiana and currently a resident of Texas, I am so PROUD of the PATRIOTS Senators Kennedy and Cruz!
He's a windbag and expert at avoiding questions himself when they are critical of Trump. He's a phoney.
90% of her answers are “I know you’re right but I don’t want to admit it so I’m gonna dance around the question until you move on”
“The whole of your record are deeply disturbing”. Brilliant
Kennedy is brilliant
Love him!! Holds they're ugly, lying feet to the fire every time.
Not even close.
Maybe but he’s also a fraud.
We the people need a President, not a " Resident " .
This is ELDER ABUSE !!!!!

"Social Justice" has become the ultimate gaslighting oxymoron of our time. The widespread and absolutely devastating level of INjustice inflicted on people worldwide in the name of that blatant con-job term is truly extraordinary. There was a time when that term was respectably applied, but there isn't a living soul on this planet old enough to remember when that was.
She's like a little girl that thinks she can outsmart daddy Kennedy!
This like all the.girls that worked for moremoney.than they.could get...when their parents did not trech.them morals..get real

How can you tell when a Liberal Democrat is openly lying??? When they begin their sentence with, "Thank you Senator, for that question...".
Lmao, were you watching a SkipGoesHard live last night? Small world if you were.
I was told if the lips are moving plug your ears or don't dare take anything you hear as fact😂😂😂
Spot on. As soon as I heard that, I would just cut them off.
both sides do that... when conservative candidates are being grilled they say exactly the same thing..it is diplomacy and it gives them a half second to frame their answer to the question
5:36 You can't vote for her Senator Kennedy, nor should you!
I love Senator Kennedy!!! He’s a man of character & integrity and we’re honored to have him fighting for us!!
If only he'd run for Presidency.
She is a professional deflector of questions . Sen. Kennedy ate her up
These people are all so SLEAZY and unwilling to own up to their prior statements.
Even when they said or did it just weeks before.
@@btk1213 remember their motto "by any means necessary. they don't play by the same rules, because they are so sure they are right, it doesn't matter, and besides, if they win, which they have been, "what difference does it make.?"
"Thank you for that question... " ALWAYS followed by bullshit and double-speak.
WE NEED MORE SENATORS LIKE KENNEDY!. He was quick on that Welcome Response. He knew it was coming.
I won't vote for her in a million years.
WHY CAN THESE PEOPLE NOT JUST ANSWER A DIRECT QUESTION?????
Many questions have nuanced answers. A simple yes or no allows no room for nuance.
You know why
It would expose their Communist narrative
Senator Kennedy is putting words in her mouth. She did answer correctly when she said each case would have to be evaluated. She never said "to hell with the legislators". Kennedy wanted her to make a blanket commitment.
@@blessingjohnchelliah4317
Is Just a COMMUNIST SUBVERSIVE!
It's asinine that this woman is even here as a nominee. Kennedy does his job marvelously, again.
She won't answer because she doesn't want to admit she feels it's ok to say the hell with the legislatures, and I'd do it my way.
@@ritab-c492 Kennedy was trying to put words in her mouth. She never said it was O.K. to say "hell with the legislatures"
she said she would evaluate each case.
When does our new civil war begin it seems we have a lot of idiots in positions of power and action is the only cure to eliminate them!
AMEN !!
@@blessingjohnchelliah4317 BULL! All he was TRYING to do was find out if this traitorous bitch believes in the LAW, or that once she is on the Bench, she has more power than God! Seems simple enough.
If they can’t answer a question they should be disqualified!! This would shorten these hearings and stop the BS! Thank you Senator Kennedy❤
The way he stops her long winded responses the second they veer off the question is so soothing. This man is razor sharp.
Yes, razor sharp, unlike Dems....
I'm loving it.
Makes a mere mortal like me realise how dumb I am
@@keithhowell4138 He's doing a fantastic job.
Senator Kennedy is the best
As part of “ we the people” i urge a NO vote
I'll second that!
Here Here!
When the first words are, "Thank you, Senator, for that question", you KNOW that which comes next is going to be pure BS.
Thank you for the question that she won't answer!
Meanwhile, criminals are not being prosecuted.
Sounds like one of bidens picks .. way to go Brandon
Jeff Sessions, Kavanaugh were dodging direct questions, remember?
She sounds like a good , no! Beat around the bush! Nope not her!!!!
@@cpeet9346 Don't let the door hit ya on the ass on the way out lady.
Thank you for that question,beat around the bush,run the clock down and never answer the question.They are trained for that.💩🤡
@@clovisclapsaddle4956 She did answer after explaining the need to evaluate each case according to it's merits.
Kennedy just wants to trick her. She's smarter than him!
Kennedy is awesome 👌
Ouch,no way she is dismissed
WE NEED MORE SENATORS LIKE KENNEDY!
What she is really saying, "I am an activist and the rule of law is stupid."
She is only against the rule of law when it is against the liberal agenda.
"Thank you Senator for that Question....that i will skirt around and ultimately never answer."
That's because she knew she would be appointed, and she was - his questions were irrelevant. He can stay mad! 😂
She understood and was respectful while replying... but he was just misogynistic trying to overpower.. just like Trump... He wanted to own her.. He didn't, He just-- like Trump -- only wanted his words, ignoring the progress at hand... so ignorant.. Must move past the ignorance to progress.
@@cwonderment Awww, you upset Kennedy ask her tough questions? Poor baby...
@@bbd468
You're a cute little minded thing aren't ya. You might need your daddy to help you out.
If we answered like that in a courtroom, we'd get a contempt
That man is a national treasure.
If we actually still had history books, I’d hope to have at least a section of a chapter dedicated to him telling the people you’re welcome every time they thanked him for a question.
That's Southern manners!
Same sh*t different day. They NEVER answer. And NOTHING ever changes. Theatre. Period.
She gives revolving answers, she'll be a revolving door judge adding to the crime rate
There were many reasons for the crime surge, police brutality was one of them. If she said that, she would be disqualified and blamed for being anti-law enforcement.
@@blessingjohnchelliah4317 😲😨 What a crock!

Well Senator, you have to vote for her, Even if she didn't answer all your questions but atleast she was Thankful for them.
Damn he's good
This is the best Kennedy in history
Ms. Nina Morrison "she can't Agree or Disagree "I Cannot Vote For This Person, Thank You Senator John Kennedy Sincerely RZ
I like how Kenedy presents himself. He makes people nervous. Calls them out A man with sand and grit
A prosecutor needs to do their job or be prosecuted. No free passes for anyone. Do the crime do the time.
A DA can’t legally turn down a case to prosecute, Read the US Constitution. But for some reason, nobody is going after them. Not Judges or even Deputy DA.
the United States has the largest prison population in the entire world , not country, WORLD every where you can imagine as far back in history as we can reveal. that is our gift to our children.
@@darleneclarke4001 if we executed murderers that number would drop a lot
@@victorhopper6774 i took issue with the way the questions are asked
@@darleneclarke4001 I can respect her point about discretion to prioritize, but she wouldn't even commit to saying avoiding prosecuting armed robbery was wrong.
I love Sen Kennedy. He's a no nonsense man with a lot of common sense.
And he’s also super smart perhaps 🤔 .
Please God no more karens in office
No Bs but with a soft hand and i can agree with that
the reason i like him is he clearly is just mindblowingly intelligent, but the wisdom of the ages made him realize that common sense is pretty damn useful
I love Kennedy too. But I think it would have been so much better if Nina just said (at the very beginning), "Senator, we both know you will not be voting for me. I don't need your vote to be appointed. I will not answer any of your questions." And then turn to stone. He has no authority to force her to say anything. She could sit there like a rock for all of his 5 minutes. That would have been better for everyone's sake.
No honor in these answers benefitting America.
This broad is like the "deer in the headlights" when it comes to answering a straight forward question.
Refusal to answer questions should be an automatic disqualification for any nominee!
This is what all of Obidens nominees do....they never answer any questions. Just start babbling trying to kill the clock but never, never answer the question
@Jonny Croxville I am not naive, but the fact that you defend the liberals tells everyone who the naive one really is...
Good idea.
She answered the questions.
it depends on how much money Soros is payjng them off. bought off , lock stock and barrel 😢
So, she's prepared to ignore the law and decide to prosecute whoever she feels like. Nice.

The last two women named Nina, have been total wastes of time.
I love Mr Kennedy also. He sounds like Mr Haney, but he’s a fine Southern Attorney in his delivery and thought.
She smiles instead of cackleing.
Kennedy is brilliant with his questioning and forces these nominees to answer and find out their opinion
no he is leading without allowing an answer.
Most of them can’t seem to remember writing a letter or signing something supporting some crazy view…. Won’t admit to even looking at something. Such hogwash and bs
Note how these people quite simply refuse to answer a question over and over again....Then ask yourself...."What is motivating them?"
I'm from the UK and that gentleman is a seriously impressive questioner.
Amazing how ALL these Nominees/RADICALS, Dance around and NEVER EVER give an Answer, because they would Incriminate Themselves ❗😡
He was quick on that Welcome Response. He knew it was coming
That's Kennedy's way of pointing out how utterly ridiculous is for these ass-hat nominees to keep repeating such non-sense. Their routine response alone should be reason enough for their disqualification.
She's a hideous embarrassment, like the rest of the nominees. Kennedy is way too smart for her lies and deceit, which is all she is about.
The laughter in the room was a huge indication that others also enjoyed the quick comeback to the highly predictable "thank you..... blah..blah...let me waste your time....guff, guff & there's more where this came from..."
He has done that before. It's his way of mocking the "thank you for the question" response.
If anyone appearing before her in court failed to answer questions in that manner, what do you think she would say.
Senator Kennedy is a legend!!
He gets you fairly comfortable and then begins his Hook, line and Sinker questions!!
Great job as always Senator!
I’m sick of these people who are willing to let criminals back on the streets to offend innocent, hard working Americans.
Yup, and then the criminal kills someone, and then they say, oh no we need to get guns off the streets.
then get rid of the bad cops and bobble head government personal
ya mean like Trump pardoning so many of em , that never served a single day in jail?
@@1crzflyer not talking about rouge cops
Well here in Illinois we have Kim Foxx, where the courts are just swinging doors to her. Apparently she made some kind of a promise not to prosecute any black criminals. It's ridiculous you get more time in jail now for stealing someone's money then you do if you rape and kill their kid. That's why Illinois is a cesspool in Chicago is the drain
Our criminal justice officials do not get to seek social justice. Comparing rights to feelings is not a conversation, it is propaganda. She and others that think similarly should be banned from ever deciding someone else's fate.
That's a very good point!
Excellent point Josh!
she needs to insert her membership card to BLM in the shredder. smarten up!!!
I wish we had this type of process for judges in Australia.
I swear to God these mealy-mouthed nominees are the death of our country. Speak plainly or go away.
If a nominee can't answer a straightforward question, then they should be immediately disqualified. "Thank you, ma'am, have a nice life. Next candidate, please."
right on, that is how it should be, and quit wasting time with these traitors. i have no respect for any of them
she was appointed tho
Senator Kennedy is the man. I am so thankful to have someone like him in the senate. Thank you sir for all you do.
With Sen Kennedy and Mr Cruz around things life may get better in the usa.
None of them will answer- vote no no
Here's my vote 👎
"You just answered my question." Love Mr Kennedy!
Love that he say's you're welcome. Keep doing it.
Whenever they say "thank you for the question", they're giving themselves time to formulate how they're going to spin their words in a way which avoids answering the question.
WHY does EVERYONE of the nominees, for ANY job, always say “Thank you for that question”. 😡
EVERYONE that holds a public office and doesn’t keep the oath the swore too should be arrested.
I think “Thank you for that question” is a matter of Senate Chamber protocol. The fact that they never actually answer any questions is what is annoying and aggravating.
@@KellyKMc Totally agree!
I think its simply to use up as much time as possible so they wont get grilled as long and they can avoid answering the questions.
I think it’s a tactic to “burn the clock”…if you say “Thank you for the question, Senator…” 10 times, you could burn away 20-30 seconds and think of how you’ll dodge a question.
It’s a code that everything I say after is going to be a lie.
I love how he praises them and their families, making them relax. Then boom.
Immediately disqualify any nominee who refuses to specifically answer a question!....
They must also be forced to answer YES or NO as well as give their "personal opinions"!
It is clear that she is evading the question, for sure.
The fact that he has to explain this is sickening.
Shocker, She admits she can’t answer yes or no!
Very Good! Sen. Kennedy is one of the best! And a Southerner to boot! Deo Vindice
MR. KENNEDY is a true AMERICAN and I hope our politicians take note. 👍🏻🇺🇸
Kavanaugh didn’t get an opportunity to avoid questions.
"You just answered my question...." To the fine folks of Louisiana, thank you for electing this man to the US Senate.
You're welcome. He is my Senator.
You'll all be sorry sometime in the future when him and the rest of the Republican have totally fcuked up the country🤷♂️

This woman and people like her have made Philadelphia "The City of Slovenly Love".
Ever notice that, no matter what the question, a Biden nominee will
1) Say, "Thank you for that question." and then
2) Not answer the question.
Biden doesn't answer questions either.
@@stevepd1 Many questions don't have a straight yes or no answer.
@@blessingjohnchelliah4317 I understand that. Biden doesn't have ANY answers. He won't even take questions. Your comment is irrelevant.
@@stevepd1 That's because there are no easy answers, and everyone knows that.
@@stevepd1 As soon as the Afghanistan disaster that Biden caused began, he ran and hid in Delaware. That is when handlers taught him the "turn + walkaway" that he is now infamous for.
They trained him like they would a dog... and that's what he looks like doing it.
Thank you Sen. Kennedy for revealing these people for who and what they stand for. ZEROS !!!
He asks a fresh question to every deflecting answer she gives. He kept her stumbling backwards the whole time.
Probably the most uncomfortable she's ever been.
Brilliant Mr Kennedy!
Can you imagine having a job interview and spinning or lying about your answers?
I have come to the conclusion that all Biden nominees are determined to avoid answering any and all question.
You are right and that should disqualify the nominee from being considered for the position. Thank you for answering the question. I will not recommend you for the position. I have no further questions.
"Obidenites" are instructed in the art of dancing around questions which trouble them, or choose not to answer at all...("The apple doesn't fall far from the tree!!!!") 🧐
Ms. Morrison and her like-minded judges have no business being in the judicial system. Her job is to judge crimes; not be social justice warriors
I'm so thankful ee get to see these hearings.
Democrat nominees act like a basketball team trying to run down the shot clock.
Can't answer that and be PC ..... isn't that great !
All I’m going to say is lol! She sounds just like DHS Mayorkas! The play here we go around the rosies! Never a straight answer! Who voted for these jokers? NOT ME!!!!
That's the real problem, they are appointees!
This administration will not nominate anyone who is honest!
that women is inwardly, a monster.
She sounds like someone that would be perfectly "ok" with legislating from the bench, something that should disqualify her automatically.
I love the way Kennedy goes to the heart of the matter and goes for the truth for every instance.
Exactly. Amen.
I love this guy
She should be held in Contempt for not answering a single question.
You know they’re going to dodge the question when they start by saying “thank you senator for that question”
💯🎯
I love how Kennedy emphasizes their foolish choice of words by replying back that they "Are welcome"
Love this guy. Go Kennedy.
❤Kennedy 🇺🇸❤️
This has to end,, its insanity they get away with this,,, and smile.
"Thank you Senator for that question" is code for let me burn some more clock while I remember which lie to tell next
She should be honest and say " I can't answer that question as it will hurt the socialist agenda
which I am a part of"
