Kennedy grills Henry on Blue Law

At a recent hearing, a nominee was introduced and recognized by various attendees, including their daughter Allison and grandchild Rona. The nominee was asked a series of legal questions by John Kennedy. Topics included the Administrative Procedures Act, partisan gerrymandering, blue laws, proximate cause versus cause in fact, and the consumer welfare standard. The nominee struggled to provide definitive answers, often admitting a lack of experience or knowledge in the specific areas discussed. For example, they were unfamiliar with the requirements of challenging a rule under the Administrative Procedures Act and expressed uncertainty about the legality of partisan gerrymandering. Similarly, the nominee did not have a clear answer regarding whether blue laws violate the Establishment Clause or the consumer welfare standard.
