'You Believe That Folks With Handicaps... Should Not Be Able To Marry?': John Kennedy Grills Nominee [View all]

This is actually a good set of questions by Sen Kennedy. To watch the nominee try and dance around with non-answers, and the way Kennedy responded to his dodge was pretty good. (If you watch to the very end) It appears Kennedy opened the door for the Democrats to go after this person as well.
This nominee should not be allowed to judge a county fair bake-off, much less hold a seat on the federal courts
