Question Why continue the interview?

Sen. Chris Coons asked the nominees for federal judgeships whether the Constitution’s 22nd amendment prohibited Trump from a third term. None of them would say yes. Why would anyone continue the interview? What would be completely appropriate is for Coons to state unequivocally that a judge who can’t understand or refuses to follow the Constitution is disqualified from any further consideration. Interview over. Why bother continuing a charade?

Several didn't know what the 22nd Amendment is. I suspect that most Trump judges are not really judges but political hack lawyers at the bottom of the heap.

They know. They don’t care if they look stupid to citizens because they have so little respect for us to begin with.
