Hawley Rips Judicial Nominee For Trying To Shut Down Churches

Loren L. AliKhan: Nominee for the District of Columbia Court of Appeals

HAWLEY: “Do you think it’s wrong to discriminate on the basis of religious faith?”

ALIKHAN: “Absolutely.”

HAWLEY: “Then why did you argue that religious services and religious people pose a greater risk of infection than people gathered to argue for defunding the police?”

“And for this reason I will NOT support your nomination!” Senator Josh Hawley grilled this Biden nominee during today’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.
