Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) is famous in the U.S. Senate for his incisive wit and dry sense of humor. He has displayed these talents during his time as an elected official, whether by stumping unqualified Biden nominees or in interviews with reporters.
He delivered once again on Tuesday as he completely exposed and humiliated a far-left Ivy League law professor during a fiery debate on nationwide injunctions. As TGP readers know, activist judges around the country have subverted the U.S. Constitution for months for the sole purpose of sabotaging President Trump’s agenda.
University of Pennsylvania law professor Kate Shaw, the wife of radical-left MSNBC host Chris Hayes, spoke during a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing titled “The Supposedly ‘Least Dangerous Branch’: District Judges v. Trump” to gaslight the senators on the subject and tried to play dumb at various points when questioned.
But Kennedy refused to let Shaw spin her way through the hearing. Beginning with a question about nationwide injunctions being abused, Kennedy immediately exposed Shaw’s hypocrisy.

THAT’S GOTTA HURT: Senator Kennedy just eviscerated this Democrat witness’ credibility on rogue judges and the weaponization of the judicial branch.

TRANSCRIPT:
KENNEDY: Do any of you think that nationwide or universal injunctions are not being abused?
SHAW: I’m not sure what the…If I may, Senator, I’m not sure what the time horizon of the question is. There could be good-faith disagreements of some of them (injunctions), but I have not seen abuse (over the last four months).
KENNEDY: I’ve read your stuff and I’ve read your writings. I don’t wanna get bogged down with this, but I have little respect for your opinion because I’ve read your stuff.
So when someone is in the White House that you agree with and someone gets a universal injunction against him, you don’t like universal injunctions. You called them, ‘judges acting like they’re politicians in robes and judges looking like crass political actors.’
But now that President Trump’s in the White House — who you dislike — you think that universal injunctions taste like pumpkin pie.
I have to discount what you say because I think you act on your political beliefs. And I worry that that’s what you’re teaching your kids.
The hearing got even worse for Shaw as Kennedy mentioned a comment she made about certain Supreme Court justices last year. Kennedy stated during a podcast that Shaw called some of them “evil.”
Shaw denied making such a statement, but Kennedy was not fooled because he had the receipts. Talk about humiliating.
KENNEDY: On April 22nd, 2024, you said there are some members of the Supreme Court that are evil. Which justices were you talking about?
SHAW: I’ll take it at your word, Senator. I don’t recall using that word.
KENNEDY: Here’s what you said…quote, ‘Justice Kagan, I mean, will she be able to control the opinion’s future distortion by her evil colleagues? Probably not.’ End quote. Who were you talking about?
SHAW: Senator, I’m very skeptical. If it’s transcription, it was probably a transcription error. I do not think I said that.
KENNEDY: No, you said it. Why don’t you own up to it? Which ones do you think are evil?
SHAW: I would have to refresh my recollection. I’ve been very critical.
KENNEDY: You’re embarrassed that you made that statement, aren’t you?
SHAW: I, I, I…that doesn’t sound like something I’d say.
KENNEDY: You know what I’m embarrassed about? That you’re teaching our kids.
SHAW: I don’t refer to Supreme Court Justices as evil.
KENNEDY: You did right here on your podcast. April 22nd, 2024. Big as Dallas!

Here is the video where Shaw calls Supreme Court Justices evil (tune to the 59:50 mark).
Kennedy then closed his questioning with one last zinger.
KENNEDY: You’re an officer of the court, and you’re here advising us to be respectful of federal judges?! Gag me with a spoon!
