What did we ever do to deserve Senator Kennedy of Louisiana?
Republican Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy flustered President Joe Biden’s nominee to a senior position in the Department of Justice (DOJ) by quizzing him on an old tweet during a Wednesday confirmation hearing.
Biden nominated Hampton Dellinger, a former partner at Boies Schiller, to be the head of the DOJ’s Office of Legal Policy on June 18. During his confirmation hearing, Kennedy pressed Dellinger on a 2019 tweet in which he claimed that “if there were no Republican men in elected office, there would be no abortion bans.”
