If you are a judicial nominee who was so in love with posting right-wing slop that you have to apologize to senators with a weak "retweets are not endorsements" disclaimer, you should have logged off a long time ago

Litigants should ask to admit her fascist tweets and transcripts of this hearing into evidence along with a demand for her to recuse. If she denies seek interlocutory appeal. Grind her Court to the legal equivalent of a nuclear wasteland where nothing even moves. The trial lawyers have power.

I think this is the right takeaway. Kara Westercamp’s resume and posting habits are those of a replacement-level GOP lawyer in D.C. whose career ceiling in any other era is, like, counsel to a House committee, maybe. Unserious person who is important because Trump is elevating unserious people.

Westercamp WAS the 2003 Honey Princess but I honestly don’t know if this quote is real or a joke

My fav moment was when she said: "The first trade case I was assigned to was honey from China, because I was the 2003 American Honey Princess. I never could have imagined that that honey case would set me on a path to where I would specialize in international trade and be sitting before you today."
