TRANSCRIPT:
KENNEDY: Do any of you assume that nationwide or common injunctions are usually not being abused?
SHAW: I’m undecided what the…If I’ll, Senator, I’m undecided what the time horizon of the query is. There could possibly be good-faith disagreements of a few of them (injunctions), however I’ve not seen abuse (during the last 4 months).
KENNEDY: I’ve learn your stuff and I’ve learn your writings. I don’t wanna get slowed down with this, however I’ve little respect to your opinion as a result of I’ve learn your stuff.
So when somebody is within the White Home that you just agree with and somebody will get a common injunction towards him, you don’t like common injunctions. You referred to as them, ‘judges performing like they’re politicians in robes and judges trying like crass political actors.’
However now that President Trump’s within the White Home — who you dislike — you assume that common injunctions style like pumpkin pie.
I’ve to low cost what you say as a result of I believe you act in your political opinions. And I fear that that’s what you’re instructing your children.
