Biden Nominated Judge Supported ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban But Cannot Define Them
State of the Union ^ | March 24, 2024 | Claire O'Hare

During her confirmation hearing, 7th Circuit Court nominee Nancy Maldonado was questioned by Sen. John Kennedy about supporting Illinois’ “assault weapons” ban.

Maldonado had signed a brief arguing such weapons could be banned as too dangerous for self-defense.

However, when Kennedy pressed her to define “assault weapon,” Maldonado said she was “not a gun expert” and could not remember the exact definition.

Kennedy said, “You said, ‘Assault weapons may be banned because they’re extraordinarily dangerous and are not appropriate for legitimate self-defense purposes.’ Tell me what you meant by ‘assault weapons’?”

Kennedy noted she had submitted a brief calling to abolish something without knowing what it was.

Kennedy said, “So you submitted a brief, an appellate brief, you signed it, and you don’t know what … and you said, ‘Abolish assault weapons,’ and you don’t know what you wanted them to abolish?”

She’s a retarded communist broad.

That’s the kind of “female” Joe Bite Me appoints.

assault
[ uh-sawlt ]

noun
a sudden, violent attack; onslaught:
an assault on tradition.

Law. an unlawful physical attack upon another; an attempt or offer to do violence to another, with or without battery, as by holding a stone or club in a threatening manner.

I better have a talk with the rocks in my driveway and the sticks in my yard that I pick up before I mow and my rifles. They might “assault” someone. Speaking of rocks, I’d say that woman is about as intelligent as a box of rocks.

“I think that’s a man.”

It may be male, but it’s no man.
