After a series of obnoxious questions probing the breadth and depth of judicial nominee Neomi Rao’s knowledge of the sexual orientation of those who have worked for her at the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) pronounced her “unqualified to serve on any court.”
“Her publicly admitted ignorance about the sex lives of those she works with reveals a willful refusal to get involved in the most important aspect of modern life,” Booker asserted. “Her claim to be focused on her employees’ competence and performance at their jobs to the exclusion of taking an interest whether they are gay, bi, transgender, or other strikes me as unacceptably narrow and professional. It’s bad enough that she is already a government employee in a supervisory position. It is inconceivable that she should ever be trusted to be a judge.”
“Ms. Rao’s insistence that other people’s sex lives are none of her business runs counter to the kind of progressive society we’re trying to build in America,” the Senator argued. “Ideally, we should be as openly transparent as dogs are when they meet other dogs. They don’t feign disinterest. They get right down to sniffing each other’s hindquarters. If we were as honest as dogs we’d all admit that this is what we’d like to do ourselves. A person like Rao is clearly feigning disinterest. This type of dishonesty makes her unfit to be a judge.”

This is such a bunch of political grandstanding in a painfully long process. The bottom line is with a GOP advantage on the cmte & on the floor, none of it matters, just approve them
The questions he would likely ask?:
Do you have a problem with homosexual men?
What if one ran for President?
Is sodomy a sin?
If I, hypothetically, sodomized a young man in a random bathroom would you say that was wrong?
Isn’t it hateful to be against that?
What about fisting? I guess you think that isn’t natural either?
No further questions for this homophobe nominee.
Gee...and here I thought Cory was a reasonable guy who could be won over. [/sss] {triple sarcasm}
Are those really his words?
Aren’t we suppose to Post News items ? (/sarcasm)
Some of them are his publicly spoken words. Others—the dogs analogy, for example—were obtained from leaks by disgruntled staffers working for him.
Wow, what a shocker! Next thing you know, some Dem will come out for higher taxes, gun confiscation or unlimited immigration, perhaps even Socialism.
