Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall appeared at the request of Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee to testify at the confirmation hearings for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson on Thursday, and he quickly made a complete fool of himself when asked a simple question by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI).
The question Whitehouse asked was:
Questions don’t get much easier than that. The only question that would have been equally as much of a slam dunk for Marshall to answer might be “Does two plus two equal four?”
And yet, Marshall couldn’t answer the query from Whitehouse, remarking:

Once more, Whitehouse ran the question by Marshall:

Cleary disgusted, Whitehouse said:
It probably won’t surprise you to learn that Marshall is up for reelection in November and is clearly trying to curry favor with Republican voters who still support failed, one-term former President Donald Trump and his “Big Lie” that the 2020 election was stolen from him. It wasn’t, but the GOP has to pretend it was so Trump doesn’t say mean things about them.
If you want to see the perfect example of a gutless eunuch, just watch the performance AG Marshall gave today.
