Sen. Whitehouse Condemns Federalist Society, but Whitehouse himself has spoken at an event hosted by them

TownHall: 

Sen. Whitehouse Condemns Federalist Society…There Are Just a Few Problems.

 

During the second day of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings Wednesday, Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (RI) shamed the Federalist Society. The group, Whitehouse explained, is “a significant group of people who tend to share very conservative and pro-corporate point of view.” He then had an aide provide a poster showing a large list of the group’s “right-wing funders.”

With that context, Whitehouse asked Kavanaugh whether it gave him pause that he had The Federalist Society’s endorsement. The nominee, looking a bit perplexed, explained that he was “the president’s nominee.” During the 12-day process, he spent most of his time with the president, the vice president, and the White House Counsel, he explained.

Whitehouse was trying to have a “gotcha” moment, but he failed to foresee a few issues. For instance, he did not note that liberal Justice Elena Kagan once praised The Federalist Society when she was Harvard Law’s dean.

Actually, all of the current Supreme Court justices have spoken at Federalist Society events at some point.  MORE

  1. Hypocrisy is the Demonrats’ Hallmark.
    They have no shame, no honor, no integrity, and no loyalty.
    Naked power, corruption, and tyranny are their goals – nothing more, nothing less.

    izlamo delenda est …

  2. I got the video from the Twitter link on the article, so I went to Twitter and couldn’t resist reading the comments following it. One leftymoron said, “He’s just thanking one of the hosts.” Does the leftymoron not understand what ‘HOST’ means? And, Shithouse went on the speak for a half hour. LOL
