SEN KENNEDY is the COLUMBO of politics!
Or Monk
Excellent♥️
Matlock!
no crime detected - yup a sure fire winner
Hahaha except he hasn't solved or even found any crimes yet....im still waiting, if the Bidens did illegal shit then put their asses in jail.
Every nominee that Biden sends up is pure cringe that cannot answer any questions.
I doubt he's the one recommending these people
They just keep coming out of the car...LOL
@@BillyColeII-dr6dk🤝its a clownshow…🤡
@@ruth4thetruth334his handlers then.
the first one was on point... you should see the Trump appointee
This poor woman has NO business as a judge!
How would you know?
@@jacksoncowsert6964 Her lackluster answers, how she smirked at Senator Kennedy when he was trying to get her name right, her lying under oath and the feeling of insecurity, inadequacies and disingenuousness that she gives off for the position she is requesting.
She’s not poor! 😜
@@fantasia243645 how do you know she lied under oath?
@@jacksoncowsert6964 "So the New York Times got it wrong?" The very media "they" used for propaganda against opposing party.
IF "she didn't say those words", why doesn't she sue the NYTimes for slander?
Why waste money on an attorney when the damages from the slander wont add up to the court costs?
principal. file IT without an attorney. what the hell do you have to loose?@@id10t98
It wouldn't be slander it would be libel. Slander is spoken and libel is in print.
Please do not apply logic to this lady, she is above logic.
@@id10t98I guess a reputation isn’t worth preserving?
Senator Kennedy runs a legal clinic during each of these confirmation hearings. Love it.
However, he is badgering her. An independent source of corroboration is needed. She may be lying; or not. Tautology, not evidence.
Which part of his rambling and nonsense did you like? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You do understand that Sen Kennedy wouldn't have been pressing that question unless he knew and had confirmation of the correct answer, dont you? @michaelorme7268
@@michaelorme7268 Oh please! Have you seen the way Dems hound GOP witnesses & nominees? Kennedy was reading off a copied public article from the NYT. So Kennedy got her to deny under oath about 6 times. She best be mindful of her position.
@@stevegottenbass From the viewpoint & facial expression of the nominee, Kennedy wasn't rambling; he was being very clear. Unlike 'Joey the Buffoon' Biden & Kammi 'the Cackler' Harris & their incoherent ramblings & nonsense. Joey & Kammi are both experts ay rambling, lying etc.
She is denying that under oath. That should be investigated.
She is telling the truth the senator is a liar and trying to manipulate
No listen to the way she phrased it. She definitely said that but she’s denying under oath that she provided the quote. Sneaky way to not lie but frame it as she didn’t say that.
Or that it was worded slightly differently. Lawyers are very good at technicalities.
Why would she not contest the NYT for something she did not quote?
maybe she is telling the truth - but that never crossed your mind , eh ?
I could watch senator Kennedy drill these people for hours. It's brilliant and hilarious how he traps these people with their own statements..
Trump/Kennedy ticket would make the Dems go WILD! 🤣
This is what I'm doing now 😂 binge watching Kennedy 🤣
@@Jennifer_Cruz you've got 2 in 1 politics and stand up comedy
He’s a really good lawyer
@@robins265 lawyer and comedian
He baited her hard with “Article 10 of the Constitution.” She started talking about it like it even exists. He knew it would be easy work after that
Another judge who hasnt got a clue, where do they find them........
The dunce house 🤣🤣🤣
First one sounded drugged....

I wish I could think as fast as Senator Kennedy. This guy is fantastic.
see a doctor - Kennedy is a decade behind everyone else in the room.
@@archietheanarchist And you are behind that.
@@archietheanarchist Kennedy taught, practiced, and studied law for more than 20 years lol
Trump/Kennedy ticket would make the Dems go WILD! 🤣
Asking the same question multiple times and expecting a different answer does not strike me as indicating the ability to think fast.
SO did she sue the paper for misquoting her to correct the record? If not why not?
Under oath means nothing to these people anyway
America needs more Senators like Sen John Kennedy he is well read and super good at what he does!
ditto.
He’s the GOAT. 🇺🇸🙏
💯💯💯🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Love how this guy works.....very calm, methodical......I would not like to answer any of his questions........ and they usually DON'T.
@@johndrury2028 I like his set up
It is as if none of these DEI nominees attended law school.
Well she paid for a degree doeant mean she actually went to class 😂
Yale or Harvard perhaps. Portnoy has boycotted graduates
So you think white people are more educated ?
I doubt she paid for anything.@@Mid.night1000rr
@Cali-ml8bk yes, most definitely
So if she didn't say it, she needs to sue the News Paper.. if she doesn't sue the newspaper she doesn't have a case.
Well she failed the emotional restraint test. If she can’t handle a few tough questions from a folksy senator, she can’t be a judge. Control your emotions, lady.
I love Sen Kennedy's directness. No beatin' around the bush here!
Did you not appreciate Miss Suknanan's directness. "I did not say those words." Senator Kennedy did not appreciate her directness.
@@rubiks6
Replace directness with bull💩.
Trump/Kennedy ticket would make the Dems go WILD! 🤣
Merciless pounding of the bush on display today.
"I did not say those words" is a slippery way of saying I said it but not like that.
Exactly what I was thinking!!!!!
Absolutely!! Petty semantics is the only thing these Biden nominees know how to do.
exactly, she did say those words but maybe one differently. These people are like slippery snakes. They are lawyers after all.
@@janiceworsfold7775 couldn’t have said it better!! 💯💯💯
I thought the same!
The scary fact is these ideologues have been sitting on the bench prior to these hearings
She says "those were not my words". That seems contrived to give her wiggle room. She is not denying she said words to that effect.
Sen. Kennedy sounds like he knows she's lying. Would love to know what he knows!!
Exactly. Newspapers and journalists can lie or make mistakes also. I'm sorry we can't see the rest of the meeting.
me too , i hope he has proof.
Of course he knows they are ALL unqualified. He's just being a gentleman.
@@lowell418 Yes, he is. But can we see the proof?
I think he used to be a lawyer.
This should scare every American.
Many Americans are sleeping! And many more don't want to be inconvenienced!
That we have unstable senators?
Already there😮
And she is a nomination to be a judge! Yikes i don't have a law degree but i think i know more then she does!
She committed perjury about 20 times in less than a minute. What a damn LIAR!!!
This Man is once again showing his worth to the people

Go get them, Senator Kennedy. A True American Patriot.
Trump/Kennedy ticket would make the Dems go WILD! 🤣
Sir you are of the highest calibre of justice !
If those were “not her words”, then why didn’t she demand a correction or retraction? Sounds like an easy lawsuit to me.
I’m sure she probably didn’t say those EXACT words, which is her lawyerly way of getting out of what actually came out of her mouth, which was likely pretty close.
Senator Kennedy is a savage
Kennedy is a badass 😊
😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
...Who voted to send Ukraine our tax dollars in the middle of the night while you were probably watching the superbowl. He is a badass rino actor for sure.
@@danporter2345 So, it's your opinion that someone who supports sending money to Ukraine is Rino? I don't think you understand how nonsensical that is. For starters, Republicans have historically supported foreign military aid funding. I wouldn't say this, but it's way more rational to call the people who don't support the bill Rinos. Another irrational aspect is everyone who doesn't support that aid, supports Trump, who would undoubtedly sign that bill. So conservatives are Rinos, establishment types are Rinos, and even the old school liberal types like Trump are Rinos. Who's a republican? Just the non interventionists? I don't agree with continuing to fund Ukraine either, but you villainizing people because they don't agree with you is no different than what the left does every day. You may be the Rino
@@michaelrandall7667 yes! I didn't read anything else after your initial question either at the point of writing this... So idk wtf you wrote a paragraph about. 😆
@@danporter2345 That answers my questions more clearly than you are likely capable of articulating.
If Sparkle never said those words to a reporter, does she have a pending defamation case against that reporter or media publisher? I can't seem to find one anywhere. 🤔
Who on earth is appointing these people?
Hello DEI
how did she make it this far
Their lies the problem .
I felt like I was back in Con Law class! WTG Senator Kennedy!
Why is it that I'm just a regular guy who paid attention in social studies class and I know more about the constitution and the Tenth Amendment than a lawyer who is already a judge seeking an appointment for a federal judgeship?
It would be an honor to meet and listen to this great man . What a patriotic treasure of a true, honest, sharp American stud man ..🙏✌️♥️🇺🇸
He would be funny as hell to have a beer or 2 with. Probably has all kinds of horror stories about the Dems.
Ooooo...seems as if Senator Kennedy stepped on some toes and old girl didn't like it !!!! Love that guy !!!!!!
I like how the attorney is playing semantics. "I did not say those words" so she isn't saying she didn't say anything to that effect. Also her saying "I never spoke to the media or that reporter" means she may have used a third party leak it to the media. The games they play.
Although she says "Senator" her tone is quite demeaning. He's got her number .
Horrible liars
it's not just kennedy's line of questioning that's so effective it's also his polite, folksy, low key delivery while wielding his scalpel. so much fun to watch but I sure wouldn't want to be the nominee on the receiving end of those questions.
I love this man I hope he never dies
@maryrowell1122 If he ever runs for president I would not only vote for him but would also volunteer to help his campaign
Anyone notice "that was a closed door meeting and i did not say those words to the reporter" No shit someone gave your words to the reporter. She's trying on the technicality
I'm a CANUCK and even I know that the Tenth Amendment, or the reserve clause, which reserves "non-enunciated powers" to the states is the source of state police power. How the heck can she expect to be a judge while NOT knowing these things??!!
Does Canada have a similar system of rights for provinces?
DEI a means didn’t Earn it !
Gonna have to start using that from now on 🤣😆 Thank you!
👍Good one!
Like every other nominee..... all in denial when confronted with evidence. That look of anger in her eyes.
So why didn’t she go after the NYT then?!?!?!
The judges do not even know the law.
Is she a Judge now? Not well suited for a judge with those temperaments
All these female nominees look alike too. I guess Obama has a certain preference.
And he is suited to be a senator with his incompetence?
Whataboutism!
The White House should apologize to these potential appointees who are unqualified and ignorant. Thy have no. Defense
They're qualified to be activists and prejudge every case with a view toward the Democrat agenda. That's all Democrats care about.
The thing is, this White House doesn't care about how ignorant or unqualified their nominee is; they only care about those who will uphold their political agenda -- and there is always an agenda.
Of course she said it. She just doesn't want it held against her so she's lying about it.
THESE LIARS MAKE YOU DIG...
I LOVE THE SPECIFICALLY REPEATED CAGEY RESPONSE FROM
THE WOMAN WITH THE UNPRONOUNCEABLE SURNAME...
"THOSE WERE NOT MY WORDS"...SO, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN...
WHAT...WERE...YOUR WORDS.
Omg her sighs 😂😂😂
Senator Kenedy the sly old fox
"CORRECT SENATOR"!🤢🤮
The more ol John boy kept pushing the madder she got. I have a funny feeling he didn't believe her 1 bit. Love the way he handles things!
We love mr kennedy ❤
We are doomed.
Prepare accordingly
No we are not, be of good cheer, help is on the way in major way !
@@boromir51 I wish He would hurry up!
Jesus IS coming soon! Repent!
Saying “Those are not my words” is not the same as saying “I never said that.” Like all lawyers she’s playing with words. She showed the truth when she said it was a confidential partners meeting. Implying what was said at that meeting was not meant to be shared with others.
At least she didn't thank him for the question!!!!
This is our best and brightest, really? We’re in trouble
When she started to end her sentences with question marks, Martinez lost the argument. Obvious to all of us, including her!
I have yet to see one single nominee put forth by this Regime that’s Qualified for anything to include Dog Catcher.
Dog catchers have to possess a certain amount knowledge on how to control a vicious dog or any other animal they Come in contact with.
Love, love, love him!
The NY Times did not get it wrong.
For once.
As if these news media don’t lie
@@Cali-ml8bk No it was from the NYT...not MSNBC
"Not my words..." = "pretty much the gist yeah, but I used a different word or two lol". Classic liar tactic.
@bobkelly3162 So just because she is a Democratic pick that useless Kennedy is calling her a liar and yet the real liars are actually Trumps recent appointments to the Supreme Court
These are Judges and they don't even know the Constitution unbelievable
Sue the NYT! 😅😆😁
At least she didnt start every answer with "Thank you for the question, Senator."
Yes! I've come to see that "thank you for the question" actually means "now I will say alot of words but not answer your question "
@@deborahsanderson697 yip...that's what they're really taught.
Some one said it mr kennedy knows what he's talking about
Why didn't she sue the reporter or newspaper?
As for the second testimony, "those were not my _words"_ could referred literal words, meaning she was not quoted precisely in that NYT's article, instead her _actual words_ were a bit different. Notice that she did not claim was, "I never said anything like that." Keep in mine that we're dealing with lawyers here. Lawyers know how to skirt the laws about perjury.
That's an interesting angle. Looks like that is what Sen Kennedy was interested in investigating
(Notice that she did not claim was, "I never said anything like that.") She certainly said that she had never talked to the reporter who wrote the article Kennedy was using as his justification for the questioning.
But suppose she did say those words in a private meeting of the partners in the law firm! I remember Kennedy saying that it was a violation of legal ethics. Does he really think that when a law firm is trying to decide whether to represent a client, they partners can't express an opinion to one another about whether the potential client is ethical?
Kennedy began by asking whether she would be profiting, as a partner of the firm, by the firm representing a client who she thinks is unethical. He takes for granted that she things the PA GOP is unethical. Maybe she does. That wasn't established, but let's, for argument's sake give Kennedy the benefit if the doubt. It it unethical for a law firm to represent a client who may be in the wrong? Or is it just unethical to ask the possibly unethical client to pay for his defense?
@@charlesmrader
That’s not the issue he raised. Telling the NYT was the issue
"...those were not my words..." So, what were your words?
Pitiful…just pitiful!!
Notice she says she did not say those words to a reporter,,lol,,
I definitely noticed that the second one to be questioned, Suknanan, was showing rude eyes. With her rolling them, eye jabbing, snd glares I hope Senator Kennedy refuses her.
None of them will get rejected!! Dems have the majority and are rubber stamping all the crazies Biden nominates!!
Noticed that too right away. Sadly, if Kennedy does refuse her, it most likely won’t matter. She’ll get enough votes from the dems who all vote in lockstep and toe the line.
yeah, but that's how you see all non-white women....
@@stevefowler5970you’re the only one talking about race and sex dude.
@@Slender_Man_186 Don't like the obvious, huh?
'those were not my words' and 'I never spoke to the media' are semantical tricks. she isn't actually denying she said something to that effect
Whatever happen to integrity in this country. I was hoping he had a recording to catch her in a lie
"Those were not my words" she repeats ... What were the words she said?
She said those words.
They can't get out of way of their lies, so they get run over with truth. Ty Senator Kennedy ❤
Notice that she continued to recite the line, "Those were not my words." Senator Kennedy should have asked her whether she agreed with the sentiment of the statement. In other words, she might not have said those precise words, but did she nevertheless believe that that lawsuit was brought only for the purpose of depriving poor people the right to vote?
Ok she didn’t say it a reporter, but did she say it in the meeting?
I love Kennedy he's straight forward n wants n tells the truth
Trump/Kennedy ticket would make the Dems go WILD! 🤣
They were not my words, either!!!
I wouldn't be surprised if she was telling the truth and a reporter made that up
She keeps saying, "Senator, my understanding is ..." She has no understanding, and all these similarly terrible nominees scare the heck out of me!!!
By saying that she would be admitting to nefarious activities as an attorney and would be disbarred.
The brightest and the best, they just keep on rollin in...
Can't help but love this guy.
The judge lying under oath. What a hoot.
So... that last woman wants us to believe that a random reporter completely fabricted a quote, and assigned her name to it.
A potentially harmful quote, that she never challenged nor had them correct or withdraw. Sure.
I don't believe that for a second, but I DO believe she is %100 lying under oath in this vid.
So many different cultures in this country is destroying it.
Diversity fails everywhere.
Our diversity is NOT our strength. That idea has been force-fed to us for decades!
Amen and it’s done purposely.
Our "diversity" is NOT our strength. That is old hippy claptrap taught in schools in the 80s-90s
They must almost crap themselves as soon as his name is mentioned. I love how smart he is.
Naw, 95% of senetors don't even listen they just hit the red or green button the party or "campaign donor" told them to push. Some corruption but also a lot of lazyness, incompetence, and cowardice
Senator, she definitely said those words. She's lying under oath because she knows you can't prove otherwise, sir.
He should have asked her what were the exact words she used that implied the same thing the reporter wrote.
Thats the problem her knowledge 😂
A simple question would've been "well then what words did you say". She just kept saying "I never said THOSE words..."
Botflies resist being pulled out of the skin too.
