you're going to have to explain why why a lawyer who handled a couple of driver's license revocations and doesn't know what Article 2 of The Constitution is should be a federal judge in charge of your life your rights and the law hey everyone welcome back to the channel today we're diving into a fiery debate heating up the Senate as Senator Ted Cruz absolutely trashes a list of federal judge nominees put forward by the Biden Administration Cruz isn't holding back and you won't believe some of the shocking details he reveals about these C candidates Ted Cruz kicked things off by laying into the qualifications or lack thereof of several federal judge nominees according to Cruz these candidates are shockingly underqualified and what's even worse they lack basic knowledge of the US Constitution particularly Article 2 which as we all know is critical since it outlines the powers of the executive branch Cruz argues that someone who doesn't understand the very Foundation of our government has no business serving as a federal judge Cruz didn't mince words when he questioned the competence of charell beelen grren during her interview beelen grren couldn't answer basic questions about Article 2 in Article 5 of The Constitution I mean imagine being in her shoes and failing to answer questions that any firste law student would know before we jump in make sure to hit that subscribe button and ring the notification Bell so you never miss out on our latest videos all right let's get into it and I got to say if the ABA tells you that if you don't know what article two of the Constitution is and you've only tried seven cases mostly driver's license revocation cases you're qualified to be a federal judge well then the ABA ought to get out of the business of rating judges and if you were interviewing a chief counsel all of us have chief councils on this committee if you're interviewing a law Clerk and the interviewee if you ask that interviewee what's article two of the Constitution and that person said damned if I know would you hire him you all know the answer is no none of you would hire someone who didn't know what Article 2 was to be a law clerk on your Judiciary staff and yet you're all prepared to rubber stamp this person as an article three judge but I will say what's going to happen next I think is going to be quite unfortunate for the American people because what we're about to see this committee do is vote on several nominees who are so extreme who are so unqualified that they could could not have a prayer of getting even a single Republican vote on this committee and as everyone knows Senator Graham votes for most of Biden's nominees it is unusual that Senator Graham does not give a Republican vote to a Biden nominee but there's a small subset of these nominees that are so beyond the pale that they have no prayer of getting a republican nominee and frankly if my Democrat colleagues vow valued the responsibility of the Senate's advise and consent my Democrat colleagues would tell the White House these nominees are unacceptable this first nominee charnell Beckel Gren is so amazingly unqualified she may well have the title for the least qualified nominee I've seen in 11 years serving on this committee when Senator Kennedy asked her what article 5 of The Constitution was she had no idea when Senator Kennedy asked her what article two of the Constitution was she said I don't know mind you article two is the provision of the Constitution that creates the president the executive branch of the government any first year law student that didn't know what article two of the Constitution was would flunk con law this is not some obscure question about some Latin phrase no one should know this is literally the basic architecture of our Constitution by the way Joe Biden has nominated her to be an article 3 judge article 3 is right after Article 2 it creates the federal Judiciary I assume she doesn't know what that is either I would note that the chairman in defending her suggested well gosh there may be some members of our committee that don't know what article two is I feel confident that's not true but if there is on either side of the aisle you should stand up and resign the committee right now to give you a sense of how qualified this nominee is she listed in her Judiciary questionnaire her top 10 litigated cases and I just want you to pause and read this for a second her top 10 she did a driver's license revocation she did a second driver's license revocation she did an unemployment benefits appeal she did another Unemployment Benefits case she did another unemployment benefit case and her sixth case was an Unemployment Benefits case where on the opposing side was a prosay litigant in other words this poor fell didn't have a lawyer and you know what the prosay litigant beat her she lost to a proos litigant what's her seventh most consequential case I'm sorry there isn't one there's not an eighth there's not a ninth there's not a 10th she's argued over a couple of driver's licenses and the Biden White House says you should be a federal judge an article three judge not that you have any idea what in the hell that is so what does this all mean Cruz is making a strong case that Senate Democrats need to take their constitutional duty of advice and consent seriously instead of rubber stamping these nominees Cruz argues that they should be rejected for being unqualified and too extreme and here's the kicker Cruz warns that those who support these nominees will have to explain their decisions to their constituents especially given the controversial positions some of these judges hold Cruz closes by questioning whether Democrats are willing to put competence over ideology when it comes to judicial nominations so what do you think are these nominees really as unqualified as crew suggests or is this just political posturing let me know in the comments below
