On 2/16/2022, Sen. John Kennedy charmed President Joe Biden’s nominee for the United States District Judge for the Eastern District of New York Nina Morrison, then repeatedly hit her with questions. Kennedy asked Morrison whether it is appropriate for district attorneys and prosecutors to refuse to prosecute “an entire line” of cases because they disagree with the state legislator and people. “Senator, I think it is appropriate for prosecutors to evaluate each case that comes before them and—” Morrison began.

“Yes, but that’s not what I’m asking. I know you, I mean, you’re smart, I can tell from your resume,” Kennedy said. “Let me say it again, the people elect their legislators, legislators say on behalf of the people ‘this is a crime which society will not tolerate without punishment.’ Do you think that it’s okay for prosecutors to say ‘I disagree and I’m not going to prosecute an entire line of cases. I don’t care who is charged.’ Do you agree with that?”

Morrison answered that prosecutors “have the legal option” to be flexible. “I’ll stipulate to that, but we have prosecutors who are saying ‘to hell with the legislature and the people we’re not going to prosecute an entire line of cases,’” the Louisiana senator said. “I think my question is pretty straightforward. Do you agree with that or disagree with it?”

Kennedy said Morrison can’t answer a “straightforward” question. “I see all these comments you’ve made in favor of the district attorneys, who in the name of social justice,” Kennedy said. “And you’ve spoken glowingly of all of them and now you won’t answer my questions about it. You say it’s inappropriate. And I think it’s really appropriate.”

You’re smart, my question is quite simple, how can I vote for you if you won’t answer a straight
