Cruz: first nominee to be Article 3 judge but did not know Article 2 & Article 5


#shorts Senator Cruz said, “This first nominee, Charnel Beckelgren, is so amazingly unqualified. She may well have the title for the least qualified nominee I’ve seen in 11 years serving on this committee. When Senator Kennedy asked her what Article 5 of the Constitution was, she had no idea. When Senator Kennedy asked her what Article 2 of the Constitution was, she said, “I don’t know.” Mind you, Article 2 is the provision of the Constitution that creates the President, the executive branch of the government. Any first-year law student that didn’t know what Article 2 of the Constitution was would flunk con law. This is not some obscure question about some Latin phrase no one should know. This is literally the basic architecture of our Constitution. By the way, Joe Biden has nominated her to be an Article 3 judge. Article 3 is right after Article 2; it creates the federal Judiciary. I assume she doesn’t know what that is either.

I would note that the chairman, in defending her, suggested, “Well, gosh, there may be some members of our committee that don’t know what Article 2 is.” I feel confident that’s not true, but if there is, on either side of the aisle, you should stand up and resign from the committee right now.
