Reversing the usual script, Democrats praised one of President Trump’s federal appeals court nominees Wednesday while Republicans brought the tough questions for Mark Jeremy Bennett over his defense of gun control laws and free speech rights.

Mr. Bennett, a former Hawaii attorney general now nominated to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, had backed a limited interpretation of Second Amendment rights that was overturned by the Supreme Court.

Sen. Ted Cruz, Texas Republican, also questioned Mr. Bennett over opposition to Citizens United, the Supreme Court case that overturned campaign finance restrictions and helped pave the way for the current system.

“You took positions, taking a very narrow view of what the First Amendment protects,” Mr. Cruz told him during a confirmation hearing in the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Usually it’s Democrats who fire the tough questions at Mr. Trump’s judicial picks, but Mr. Bennett won praise from them.

That was $30,000,000 well spent by the NRA....

As long as Trump keeps appointing conservatives to the Supreme Court that over turns turds like this, have at it.

This is a very shortsighted view. Many cases never make it to the Supreme Court, or sometimes take years to get there, so these lower court judges, in some ways, are more dangerous to our day-to-day rights than the Supreme Court justices are. Sure, the Supreme Court justices’ decisions are the permanent decisions, with no chance for appeal, but it is these lower court justices’ decisions that affect our life on a day-to-day basis. We should not so casually be throwing away these lower court positions. If there is any court in this country that needs a good shove to the right, it’s this one, and it doesn’t look like this appointment is getting that accomplished.

Trusting government to protect our rights that prefers to limit our rights is kind of backwards. A lot is being revealed since Trump got in there and it's unbelievably concerning regarding what our state is doing now on the anti-gun crap. It's as if they are not OUR Reps and have a plan to do whatever they want, regardless.

Staylo, mikelets, I don’t take it lightly. Who are you going to vote for the next election cycle, same oh, same oh?

[Mitch10mm]

This is bullshit. He’s starting to piss me off. Becoming a politician or a puss or both.

That is disappointing to see that nomination.
