Biden judicial nominee made disgusting request on child rape case: Ted Cruz reads his words

So called President Joe Biden's judicial nominee may have thought his past does not count and would never come back to haunt him, but he would be mistaken.

During his confirmation hearing in the Senate on Wednesday, a sick incident in which he starred earlier his career was brought up and he came off looking like a scumcrumpet.

Michael Delaney was nominated for a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. And because he was nominated by a cognitively-impaired POTUS, the GOP members did their homework and grilled him over the coals, particularly over a prestigious New Hampshire private school case that Delaney represented in 2015. 

Specifically, the case involved then 15-year-old Chessy Prout, who was raped by a male student at St. Paul's School. Delaney represented the civil case that followed the criminal case and, according to Bloomberg Law, he, on behalf of the school, tried his level best to strip Prout of her anonymity during the proceedings, which appears to have involved intimidation of the child.

Republicans grilled Delaney for what the family of the girl said were his intimidation tactics to shut her up in order to protect the school's now tarnished reputation.

Utah Sen. Mike Lee said that such a move was unprecedented in legal proceedings. “I’m not aware of any courtroom in America … where the victim wouldn’t be allowed freely to choose to protect her anonymity.”

GOP Sen. Marsha Blackburn (TN) expressed total shock and horror that Delaney would be willing to defend the school, while refusing to ensure that the victim’s right to anonymity was protected. You can do both if you are ethical.

“I was taken aback that you would’ve thought a minor child who had been sexually assaulted did not deserve protection,” she said. “I think it is chilling the message this sends to young women.” She added that such action disqualified him from serving on the bench.

Missouri’s GOP Sen. Josh Hawley, agreed, “I’m astounded that you’ve been nominated … People who put sexual assault victims through this kind of torture — shouldn’t sit on the bench.”

However, it was Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz who did what LibsofTikTok does, he just fed back the words of a letter Delaney wrote requesting that the child have her anonymity stripped.

But the most damning indictment of the judge came from Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz, who read word-for-word from the letter that Delaney composed requesting that Prout have her anonymity stripped. 

Cruz said that the girl was victimized on three separate occasions: when she was raped; second when she was stripped of her anonymity; and third when Delaney was nominated by Biden.

It’s eye-opening to watch @SenTedCruz fully excoriate Michael Delaney for his past “victim intimidation tactics.”

Delaney definitely sucks by all measures. This revelation is disgusting and it also shows how the Biden administration didn't do their own oppositional research on this guy, and if they did, how arrogant they would have to be to think the GOP would let this slide.

In no way should this guy be allowed to be confirmed.
