A run-of-the-mill Senate Judiciary Committee hearing became bad-tempered Wednesday, with Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) accusing Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) of “mansplaining” after he referenced her in a question to a nominee about the doctrine of judicial originalism.
During the hearing to consider U.S. District Judge Gustavo Gelpi’s nomination to the First Circuit Court of Appeals, Cruz told the nominee that Hirono had stated “that you refused to commit to originalism because originalism would prevent [case] outcomes that she supports … she doesn’t want judges who will follow the original understanding of the Constitution.”

“Mansplaining” will be the new “racist” - to shut down any/all discussions.

Did she take over for Barbara Boxer as the dumbest senator?

Sort of ironic: Cruz thinks he is Constitutionally eligible to be President. Based on originalism this is whacko.

From what I’ve seen of Hirono, any kind of ‘splaining to her is an exercise in futility.

Interesting how the self-described part of tolerance & understanding & diversity doesn’t tolerate & understand someone being their own different self. I’ve been accused of mansplaining; as an engineer, that’s what I do: analyze and explain things in extreme detail and precision. Strange that Progressives insult & oppose me for being who I am.

Did she take over for Barbara Boxer as the dumbest senator? LOL. And Agreed.
Michael Savage used to say that Barbara Boxer should be running a brassiere shop in the Bronx.

Hirono has the intelligence of a rock, a rock about slightly smaller than a pebble.
