Prostitution. She had also advocated for coeducational prisons and juvenile facilities. She had even opposed she had even proposed abolishing mothers day. So you can understand why senators wanted to get her views on issues that might come before her as a justice. But when pressed at her confirmation hearing, heres what she had to say. Youre well aware that i came to this proceeding to be judged as a judge, not as an advocate, because i am and hope to continue to be a judge, it would be wrong for me to say or preview in legislative chamber how i would cast my vote on questions the Supreme Court may be called upon to decide. Were i to rehearse here what i would say and how i would reason on such questions, i would act injudiciously. Judges in our system are bound to decide concrete cases, not abstract issues. A judge sworn to decide impartially can offer no forecast, no hints for that would show not only disregard for the specifics after particular case it would display disdain for the

We will continue to work to put the rest of president trumps cabinet and place. Disappointingally to see the historic level of obstruction by Senate Democrats. I would like to remind our colleagues across the aisle lengthy very real consequences that will have on our country and on the men and women forced to work grueling hours to keep the Senate Working overnight last week. There is so much work around the clock to keep the senate operating that i would like to offer some words and facts now. I would like to start with our floor staff led by laura on the republican side and another on the crowd. Those along with the cloak room and staff teams have worked nonstop to keep the floor running smoothly so i want to thank them for their hard work and dedication. I would also like to recognize the senate pages who did not miss a beat just two weeks into their new job. I know were all impressed by these men and women.

We fear this executive order may do more to help terrorist recruitment then improve our security. The president took a blowtorch to the senators, tweeting the joint statement of former president ial candidates john mccain and Lindsey Graham is wrong. They are weak on immigration. He took a similar tack with Chuck Schumer who became visibly emotional over the president s action. This executive order. Was meanspirited and unamerican. It was implemented in a way that created chaos and confusion across the country. I noticed Chuck Schumer yesterday with fake tears. Im going to ask him who is his acting coach. Because i know him very well. I dont see him as a crier. If he is, hes a different man. About a 5 chance it was real but i think they were fake tears. The executive order was put in force almost the moment it was signed. Dhs and customs and Border Protection were not ful
