Durbin Speaks Against Nomination Of Kara Westercamp To Be Judge On U.S. Court of International Trade

Published | Video Starts at 01:49

Ms. Westercamp even posted a sexually derogatory image and joke about former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a post that Ms. Westercamp herself described as not safe for work. Notably, appears some of her inflammatory, overtly political posts were made while she was on duty as an attorney at the Department of Justice, which would in itself be a violation of federal law. Ms. Westercamp clearly lacks the temperament to serve on the bench as a judge. I will not support her nomination. (01:49–02:02)

CLAIM
