Editor’s note: During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, asked Vanita Gupta, President Joe Biden’s nominee for associate attorney general, the No. 3 post at the Justice Department, about abortion rights, gun rights, religious liberty, and school choice. Watch the exchange or read the transcript:
Sen. Ted Cruz: I think one of the worst legacies of the Obama presidency was the politicization of the Department of Justice during the eight years of the Obama-Biden presidency.
TRENDING: Trump: Joe Biden is allowing America to be 'destroyed'
The Department of Justice has a long history of being apolitical, of exercising fidelity to law, of not being used as a partisan weapon to target the enemies of whichever administration is in power.
The Obama-Biden administration corrupted that process, and we are still dealing with the consequences.
I believe appointees to the Department of Justice should have a demonstrated record of fidelity to law and impartiality, and ability to defend the rule of law.
Ms. Gupta, as I look at your record, your record is one of an extreme partisan advocate. Your record is an ideologue. Now, there’s a role in our democratic and political process for ideologues, for people that are extreme, radical advocates.
That role, I believe, is not being the No. 3 lawyer at the Department of Justice in charge of the impartial and fair administration of justice.
As I look at your record on every single issue, the positions you’ve advocated for are on the extreme left, and you’ve demonstrated an intolerance for, and hostility to, anyone that disagrees with the extreme left political positions.
On the issue of abortion, is there any restriction whatsoever on an abortion that you believe is permissible?

Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.
