Biden Judicial Nominee Torched by Sen. Kennedy Goes Down in Flames

 May God richly bless Senator Kennedy. He is a national treasure.

Bjelkengren is not the only diverse but grossly unqualified nominee Biden has nominated.


"Last year, Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) exposed the utter incompetence of a number of Joe Biden's judicial nominees. One of them was Charnelle Bjelkengren, whom Biden nominated for a seat on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington. She thoroughly embarrassed herself when she couldn’t even answer Kennedy’s basic questions about the Constitution.

"This week, Bjelkengren was one of three Biden nominees to request that their nominations be withdrawn.

" 'I asked the President not to re-nominate me due to the uncertainty of my confirmation and in order to advance the important work of the federal judiciary," Bjelkengren said in a statement. "My hope is for the swift confirmation of the next nominee."

"Opposition to Bjelkengren grew after Kennedy exposed her as completely unqualified for the lifetime appointment.

“ 'Judge, tell me what Article V of the Constitution does,” Kennedy asked her.

“ 'Article V is not coming to mind at the moment,” Bjelkengren replied after a long pause.

“ 'Okay, how about Article II?”

"After a short pause, she admitted, “Neither is Article II.” . . .Video

. . ."How is it possible that Bjelkengren was nominated in the first place? Well, the answer is obvious. She wasn't nominated because of her qualifications; she was nominated because of the diversity checkboxes she met. Had she been confirmed, she would have been the first black woman to serve on the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Washington and the first black woman to serve on a United States District Court in the state of Washington."
