Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

        Um...seems to me a judge should know the definition of 'sexual assault'.

        He wants to be a judge in the highest court, doesn't know the legal definition or if he's violated it.

        Rape is not really a sex thing, it's a power/violence thing. This rape very much was. That he couldn't get his junk to stand with all that booze, is way beside the point

        That's about the shittiest way of saying "we need to define our terms here"

        I do wish he’d been asked to clarify his definition of “intercourse.” Catholic school boys are pretty flexible in that regard. Also, Judge seemed to think pulling a train on a blacked out woman was consensual.

        It's unnerving knowing that he's a judge, and not knowing how he defines 'sexual assault.'

        He's a Judge FFS! A Judge "interprets & applies" THE LAW, not a bloody phrase. 😲

        Again more evidence that we're living in a bad '90s remix.
