Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday pressed one of Biden’s federal appeals court picks on a speech she gave suggesting the Constitution is a “living document,” while another faced questions about election law cases.
GOP Sen. Mike Lee asked U.S. Magistrate Judge Doris Pryor, a nominee for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, about a speech she gave at her son’s school for Constitution Day a few years ago in which she said its words “permit us to live out the true meaning of its doctrine and interpret it as a living document.”
