Okay. I want to ask you a last question about our federal judiciary. I've said repeatedly
00:07
that all of us has a moral and a civic obligation to follow federal orders, and I stand by that.
00:17
But there have been a lot of national injunctions, universal injunctions issued
00:22
to try to stop you from doing your job. Where were these judges when people were
00:32
breaking the law and coming into our country illegally? Were any of them speaking up and
00:38
issuing national injunctions against the Democrats? I don't believe I can be specific
00:45
about every single judge, but these judges that now are trying to stop us from enforcing our laws,
00:50
I don't believe, or recall them being vocal. Can you think, Madam Secretary, of one single
00:56
solitary federal judge who, when President Biden and my Democratic colleagues, not all of them,
01:04
but many of them. The gentleman's sign has expired. Well, Secretary or Senator Murray went on over
01:10
about two minutes, so I'm going to take a minute. Well, Senator Van Hollen just got shut down.
01:14
Yes, if you can finish your question. Can you recall one single solitary federal judge
01:23
when President Biden and my Democratic colleagues were letting 20 million people come into the
01:28
country illegally? I don't recall. Can you think of one single
01:32
solitary judge issued a national injunction to stop them? No, I can't recall one. I can't either.
01:38
If there weren't for double standards, there wouldn't be any standards at all, Madam Secretary. Thank you.
01:44
Thank you, Senator Kennedy. Senator Peters.
