Durbin Condemns Trump Admin For Ignoring The Constitution, Overwhelming The Judicial System

Published | Video Starts at 00:10

Thanks, Mr. Chairman. And I'm looking forward to the hearing on the legislative items as well. I would just like to say a word. Over a span of more than a year, I have others have joined me in asking questions of judicial nominees, if they become judges, do they believe that their court orders need to be complied with, followed by the parties to a lawsuit? And there was some equivocation at the beginning. Senator Kennedy arrived and was outspoken and following court orders. I think most of us who practice law understand they have to be taken seriously. (00:10–00:30)

CLAIM

Asserts that for over a year, questions have been asked of judicial nominees about compliance with court orders.
