Our own beloved Sen Kennedy made Twitter

How does she not know purposivism as a judge? Hell I know what it is and I had one semester of undergrad Con Law when I wasn't even a pre-law student...

Typical totally clueless liberal judge that will end up deciding people's fates when she probably couldn't spell her own last name until she was in high school.

Kennedy often exposes these nominees as fools, or at least severely lacking in knowledge, or that they are political ideologues incapable applying the law as it’s written. They all get the votes, in the end. They all get confirmed. So will this mental lightweight. It’s Kabuki theater.

It was good, but definitely all bark.

Every reply in this thread is spot on.

She really doesn't have to know anything; she'll be told how to rule on the decisions by one of the partisan clerks chosen for her by a democrat party operative.

Kennedy is pretty much there to be a professional troll at this point.

He's just going through the motions now with his trolls. I'd have more respect for him if he came back home to run for Governor to get this state fixed. He would win but probably doesn't want to work that hard to collect a check where he can just troll Biden nominees.

Scholars associate traditional purposivism with Church of the Holy Trinity v. United States. There, the Court held that a statute prohibiting the importation of a foreigner “to perform labor or service of any kind in the United States” did not apply to a church’s importation of a British pastor. In so holding, the Court conceded that the “letter” of the statute clearly encompassed the pastor but found that its “spirit” — evidenced through “the circumstances surrounding its enactment,” “the intention of its makers,” and the “results which follow from [a broad reading]” — suggested that Congress intended it to apply only to manual laborers. Because of the “familiar rule” that a statute’s “spirit” trumps its “letter,” the Court explained, the statute could not be read to cover the pastor.

Purposivism is the ideologue of the demagogue who is of the intellectual idea that third parties, absent of firsthand personal knowledge, know what is best for everyone.

In the name of equity, they will disregard the rule of law.

I'll continue hounding on this very subject.

You want to know what is wrong with Aggiehank?

Ego, and an intellectual that thinks that the right systems of government and social structures will fix man...

It won't, never has, and never will.

Incompetent lawyers, make horrible judges!

And welcome!

She should have just said, Senator I plead the 5th.

Another Soro’s bought judge?

A nominee for federal judge should have wisdom, experience, intelligence and knowledge of the laws and Constitution of the United States. It’s not as if she exhibited lack of knowledge of the existence of some federal regulation regarding swine herding. He asked her about The Constitution of the United States and a method of judicial interpretation of statutes that Kennedy probably learned in Con Law 1 at UVA a half century ago.
