Watch: Sen. Kennedy's Brutal Takedown of Dem Witness During Hearing on Nationwide Injunctions
Redstate ^ | 06/03/2025 | Nick Arama

Sen. John Kennedy came loaded for bear when questioning Kate Shaw in the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday. Shaw was invited by the Democrats. She's a University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School professor and an ABC News contributor. She also happens to be married to MSNBC host Chris Hayes.

The subject in discussion was judicial overreach. Among the topics under that rubric was nationwide injunctions.

Our sister site, PJ Media, reported Kennedy asked if any of the panel of witnesses thought that "nationwide or universal injunctions are not being abused."

Shaw said that in her opinion, she didn't see any abuse in the last four months. But that didn't impress Kennedy, and he explained to her why he didn't think much of what she had to say.

“I’ve read your stuff, and, and I’ve read your writings,” he replied. “I don’t wanna get bogged down with this, but I have little respect for your opinion because I’ve read your stuff.”

“When someone is in the White House that you agree with and someone gets a universal injunction against him, you don’t like universal injunctions,” Kennedy said bluntly. “You called them, ‘judges acting like they’re politicians in robes and judges looking like crass political actors.’ But now that President Trump’s in the White House — who you dislike — you think that universal injunctions taste like pumpkin pie.”

Another great part of Kennedy's take down of this Democrat harpy,

“That's when he delivered the coup de grace for her being there, “And you're here advising us to be respectful of federal judges? And you say they're evil, members of the Supreme Court? Gag me with a spoon!” He said she was part of the problem.”

With AI and X, its not too hard digging up dirt on far left crazy Democrats.
Trouble with them is they just can’t shut up and they think they are above the law too.

Due to MSNBC’s nondiscriminatory policy rules, they sometimes hire heterosexuals.

Perfect for him.

He always does his homework, and they don’t like it.

He went easy on this woman compared to some others.

Just curious if she fits the crazy/hot metric? I'm guessing that she possesses a certain "linear" quality in that regard.

"nationwide or universal injunctions are not being abused."

.

I wonder if mizz-kate-the-prog would consider them to be abusive if the conservatives got a friendly judge to issue a nationwide injunction on all activities of the "democrat" (communist) party.

I bet she would wish she had kept her mouth shut.

But... progs are not known to do that, or anything else that is actually constructive.

Kudos to Sen Kennedy for calling her hypocrisy out in the open.

These Libtards are all psychologically imbalanced. Their group-think is a result of their unhinged herd mentality that depends on their opinion leaders what to think. They are fighting the rest of us who have learned to think for ourselves.

I’ve liked Sen. John Kennedy for many years now, and did a little research on him. I was surprised to learn he was a democrat until 2007. I give a lot of respect to those who have converted, and they seem to be some of the best republicans today, including Pres. Trump.
