Jesus! What is it with people?Breaking! Rod Rosenstien's Wife Is Attorney For Obama And Clinton
Part of what professionals, particularly attorneys, are required to do is separate their personal and professional beliefs, decisions, and/or lives.
Senator: "Do you believe Brown v. Board of Education [of Topeka, KS] was correctly decided?"
Vitter: "My personal, political or religious views I would set aside."
-- Wendy Vitter, Trump nominee to federal district court
I have no problem with Vitter's statement because I know that's what a jurist must do. Vitter: "My personal, political or religious views I would set aside."
-- Wendy Vitter, Trump nominee to federal district court
Aside:
I do have a problem with Vitter not directly answering the question she was asked. From where I sit, all she had to do was make the statement shown above and follow it with her answer about the landmark SCOTUS decision about which she was asked. When people don't directly answer simple, non-loaded/-leading questions -- non-loaded/-leading questions so simple they are answerable completely and accurately with a "yes" or a "no" -- I think they're hiding something, particularly when one is asked about one's own beliefs.
