I've watched quite a few of these hearings for judicial nominations.
There's a LOT of grandstanding, a lot of asking loaded questions and a lot of Republican nominees saying the exact same thing, as if they've been coached (because they've been coached).
But most of it is just "meh".
But this, these judicial nominees refusing to say that Trump cannot run again for president under the Constitution as it stands now.
They're doing this because they know it would be the death of their career (in the next three years, at least) to say what Trump does not want them to say, which is that he can't run again.
Trump has said and done a lot of dangerous things to US democracy (which is very fragile due to the FPTP system and the money). His attacks on the media and free speech, his corruption, etc.
But this is so blatant that he's forcing these people to essentially say the Constitution doesn't matter, the USA doesn't matter, only TRUMP matters.
That's a sign of a man pushing for a DICTATORSHIP.
