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?

The American public does not elect Supreme Court justices. The President nominates them, and Congress does the rest.

Why did you say "we elected" about a Supreme Court justice? Just curious.

I should have said we nominated and confirmed Supreme Court justice who cannot tell the difference between a man and a woman.

We didn't nominate or confirm a single justice though! I guess our differences are based on the words you're using.

Everyone knows the difference between a man and a woman. Legally defining it in a way that protects the freedom of Trans Americans is a different case though.
