Something about judicial confirmation hearings seems to trip up Sen. Cory Booker -- who got corrected by a high-profile nominee on Tuesday during a heated exchange about diversity on her staff.
Booker made headlines last September for cheekily declaring his “I am Spartacus” moment as he moved to release sensitive documents during now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s hearing, only to be told they weren't so sensitive after all. On Tuesday, the New Jersey Democratic senator tried to turn up the heat once again while grilling Neomi Rao, the nominee to replace Kavanaugh on the U.S. Court of Appeals for D.C., on whether she ever had any LGBTQ law clerks.
The question was part of the 2020 Democratic presidential candidate's bid to explore her views on LGBTQ rights, given her past writings – but there was a problem: Rao currently isn’t a judge, and doesn’t have law clerks.
"Have you ever had any LGBTQ law clerks?" Booker asked.
Rao responded: "Senator, I've yet to be a judge. I don't have law clerks."
Booker didn’t miss a beat, and clarified that he meant “someone working for you.” Rao is currently the head of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, a position described as the Trump administration’s “deregulatory czar."
“To be honest I don’t know the sexual orientation of my staff,” Rao responded. “I take people as they come, irrespective of their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation. I treat people as individuals.”

Jesting aside, here is a description of the Order of Coif:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Coif
The Order of the Coif is an honor society for United States law school graduates. The name is a reference to the ancient English order of advocates, the serjeants-at-law.
A student at an American law school who earns a Juris Doctor degree and graduates in the top 10 percent of his or her class is eligible for membership if the student’s law school has a chapter of the Order.
The Order of the Coif honor society was founded in 1902 at the University of Illinois College of Law.
Cory Booker is a faggot. His number one priority seems to be normalizing his sexual perversion.
HotHunt asked the same question and I don’t know for sure but I would think asking that would be illegal.
Rao responded: "Senator, I've yet to be a judge. I don't have law clerks."
Most people who ask such a stupid question would be embarrassed and stop their questioning at that point.
"...he's so light in the Reebok's, a bug fart would knock him over"
And she didn’t just qualify for any old Order of the Coif. She achieved it at the University of Chicago, one of the toughest, most selective law schools in America.
Yes, gay or straight, family life questions are strictly forbidden. They can reveal membership in a number of different protected classes. Booker is a moron who has never had to play by the rules businesses and government organizations have to observe.
The real Spartacus was a gifted leader and soldier. He held off the might of Rome for three years with an army of slaves. Booker wouldn’t last 10 minutes in a fight, assuming he could figure out what a gladius is and which end to hold.
New Jersey, repent for putting that sinful pervert and purveyor in front of your children. Recall. Fire the usurper. Is sin sin? Good news! There is a Redeemer. Bad news, some people refuse redemption!
SHARP as a bowling ball. Bowling ball I sez!
“Spartacus”????
Eh.. Not so much. HE may fancy himself that, but Spartacus was a Man.
This assclown drama queen is obama-lite, another AA hire. Not even a pimple on the real Spartacus’ rear end.
Very well said and true!
Cory Booger is a putz.
Booker: “Have you ever had any LGBTQ law clerks?”
Neomi Rao: “Why? Do you want to hook up with one of the guys and do to him what Monica Lewinsky did to Bill Clinton?”
