'Do you believe Presidents are weak?': Klobuchar grills Trump’s Judicial nominee at Senate hearing

Senate Democrats on Wednesday hammered President Donald Trump’s second nominee for a key federal appellate court, arguing that she was missing the necessary expertise to serve a lifetime appointment on the bench. And lawmakers needled Jennifer Mascott, a university professor and White House legal counsel tapped to join the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, on her past comments on major legal issues such as abortion rights and presidential immunity. If confirmed to the appellate court, Mascott would fill the Third Circuit’s Delaware seat. But during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Wednesday morning, Democrats pointed out that the nominee had little experience practising law in the First State.
