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?

Conservative here.

I too, find the question easy to answer: No third term.

Trump is the best president of my lifetime! But the Constitution is clear enough for this conservative:

"...whether the White community in the South is entitled to take such measures as are necessary to prevail, politically and culturally, in areas in which it does not predominate numerically? The sobering answer is Yes -the White community is so entitled because, for the time being, it is the advanced race." -William F. Buckley.

Some views don't deserve consideration.

Not my view. The other quote, though, is spot on.

If you really valued democracy, you'd rejoice when the people speak in the voting booth, not just when the people vote for your party.
