Democrats Hirono and Harris question judicial nominee about Knights of Columbus membership

Two Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee are pressing a nominee for the Nebraska federal trial court about his membership in the Knights of Columbus, a fraternal service organization of the Catholic Church.
Democratic Sens. Mazie Hirono of Hawaii and Kamala Harris of California submitted written questions in December to Brian Buescher, an Omaha lawyer nominated to the U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska, proposing that he resign his affiliation with the knights, which they call an “all male society” that “has taken a number of extreme positions” on social questions.
The Catholic News Agency was first to report Friday on Hirono and Harris’ questions respecting the Knights of Columbus.
Buescher leads the agribusiness litigation practice at Kutak Rock LLP, where he has practiced since graduating from the Georgetown University Law Center in 2000. President Donald Trump nominated him to the federal bench on Oct. 10 at the recommendation of GOP Sens. Ben Sasse and Debra Fischer of Nebraska.
Lawmakers did not question Buescher about his enrollment in the knights during his Nov. 28 confirmation hearing, though he listed his association with the group in a questionnaire he returned to the Judiciary Committee prior to his appearance. The issue was only raised in a series of follow-up questions Democrats transmitted to Buescher on Dec. 5. Senators often submit written questions to nominees following a confirmation hearing, though they generally escape public notice.
Christian leaders have previously criticized Judiciary Committee Democrats for perceived anti-Catholic bias. Hirono was among the Democratic lawmakers who expressed concern that Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s religious convictions would impede the discharge of her judicial duties during Barrett’s confirmation hearing for the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in September 2017.
Like Buescher, Barrett is a Catholic. She is considered a serious contender for the Supreme Court, should another vacancy arise during the Trump administration.
Among other items, Harris asked Buescher if he was aware that the leadership of the knights opposes gay marriage, while Hirono asked whether he can assure litigants that he will fairly judge matters relating to reproductive rights.
Founded in 1882 as a mutual benefit society for impoverished Catholic immigrants in New England, the knights currently operate in over a dozen countries and distribute almost $200 million in charitable funds annually. The organization has some 15,000 chapters.
“The Knights of Columbus is a Roman Catholic service organization with approximately two million members worldwide,” Buescher wrote in response to Hirono and Harris’ questions. “The organization has a religious and charitable purpose. I joined the Knights of Columbus when I was 18 years old and have been a member ever since. My membership has involved participation in charitable and community events in local Catholic parishes.”
“The Knights of Columbus does not have the authority to take personal political positions on behalf of all of its approximately two million members,” he said elsewhere in his responses.
Most members of the Judiciary Committee, including Harris, were absent from the Nov. 28 hearing, which took place an hour before a widely attended briefing with senior administration officials on the Saudi war effort in Yemen.
Aside from his affiliation with the knights, Democratic lawmakers questioned Buescher about his unsuccessful bid for Nebraska attorney general. During the campaign he described himself as “an avidly pro-life person” and vowed to resist overreaching federal regulations.

Establishment Media Blasts Trump over Mar-a-Lago Visits, Silent After Seeing What His Christmas Plans Are

After an eight-year break during the Obama administration, the mainstream media in the Trump years has been able to get back to berating presidents over their vacationing habits.
For a while, I was actually worried that the people at CNN would be so out of practice from ignoring Barack Obama’s golf junkets they wouldn’t be able to make an appropriately snide remark any time President Trump decamped to Bedminster.
Of especial interest to the media seems to be the president’s visits to Mar-a-Lago, his Florida resort. Sure, Trump could be taking a working vacation at his club down in the Sunshine State, but Anderson Cooper is still going to act like he’s sitting out by the pool for hours on end watching old episodes of “The Apprentice” on his iPhone.
And with the partial government shutdown now in full effect, they were all ready to pounce. It was going to be Chris Christie on the beach, times a million. The helicopters were all gassed up, ready to provide non-stop aerial coverage of absolutely nothing happening while Don Lemon gave some sort of lachrymose paean to all of the poor government workers who won’t be receiving a check this Christmas.
And then it all went to pot: Trump decided to spend Christmas in
“Due to the shutdown, President Trump will remain in Washington, D.C., and the First Lady will return from Florida so they can spend Christmas together,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced Saturday.
“The White House had twice canceled Trump’s planned departure to his Mar-a-Lago resort, two White House aides confirmed, as Washington plunged into a partial government shutdown and officials continued negotiating to reach a compromise,” Politico reported.
“The White House had signaled in an email to staff obtained by POLITICO on Friday that the president might depart at noon on Saturday — a day later than originally intended — but officials scuttled that plan when it became clear a quick solution to reopen the government was not in sight.”
Trump also tweeted that he was canceling the trip.
Donald J. Trump ✔@realDonaldTrump
I am in the White House, working hard. News reports concerning the Shutdown and Syria are mostly FAKE. We are negotiating with the Democrats on desperately needed Border Security (Gangs, Drugs, Human Trafficking & more) but it could be a long stay. On Syria, we were originally...

I will not be going to Florida because of the Shutdown - Staying in the White House! #MAGA

Even Politico seemed a bit miffed that journalists didn’t get to harp on the “optics” of the situation.
“Trump’s decision to stay in D.C. for the time being is a recognition of the poor optics of having the president at his luxury resort while the government is closed — furloughing hundreds of thousands of workers and halting some federal services near the holidays,” they reported.
You can almost detect that split-second of arrant disappointment between each keystroke, can’t you?
Again, there were plenty of Obama vacations that took place while controversies or privations of various sorts were underway. In fact, given the permanent crisis mode of every presidency in the 21st century, any vacation could theoretically be seen as being optically poor.
Still, it’s always with a certain glee that Trump vacations are covered, particularly when they’re in Florida.
However, Trump will be staying in Washington for the duration of the holiday. The camera crews can stay inside the Beltway. The helicopters needn’t be refueled. The CNN coverage is almost non-existent. Don Lemon will have to find something else to fulminate about. (I think he’s still on that facile “President Ann Coulter” bit, though, so I suppose he has a bit of time to find a new angle.)
In other words, that’s one less Christmas present for the media this holiday season. And the very prospect makes me all the merrier.

Slippery Slope Update: Pedophiles Believe They Should Be a Part of the LGBT Community, Attempt to Rebrand Themselves as ‘MAPS’ or ‘Minor Attracted Persons’
PEDOPHILES BELIEVE THEY SHOULD BE A PART OF THE LGBT COMMUNITY
Jessica Jenkins
Pedophiles are rebranding themselves as “MAPs” or “Minor Attracted Persons” in an effort to gain acceptance and be included into the LGBT community, according to several reports from LGBT news sites.
According to Urban Dictionary, the blanket term MAP includes infantophiles (infants), pedophiles (pre-pubescent children), hebephiles (pubescent children), and ephebophiles (post-pubescent children). Some MAPs also refer to themselves as NOMAPs or “Non-Offending Minor Attracted Persons”.
These pedophiles seek to be a part of the LGBT+ community, even going so far as to make a “Pride” flag for Gay Pride Month.
PSA TO MINORS: IF YOU SEE THIS “””PRIDE””” FLAG ANYWHERE BE WARNED this flag is for MAPs, which stands for minor attracted person(s)
THIS IS A FLAG FOR PEDOPHILES
The “MAP/NOMAP community” tries to pull at people’s heartstrings by claiming that pedophiles are misunderstood marginalized people, and that as long as their attraction to children is not acted upon — or in some cases when they get permission from the child — that they should not be villainized.
Sites such as “The Prevention Project” claim to be aimed at helping children, posting quotes like the one below, reminiscent of testimonials of struggling gay youth, under headlines like “everyone needs support”.
“John” was suicidal. He had been bullied by trolls on social media for most of his life for being different. The bullies were primarily people who claimed, based on their religious beliefs, that “John” was going to hell and deserved to die. They described how they would kill him on his twitter page and people supported their hate. Desperate for help, John sought treatment for his shame, depression, and suicidality.
Although he was scared to share about himself with a stranger, he felt desperate for help as he had NO desire to harm anyone, ever. Once he shared about his attraction to children, his therapist told him, “I don’t treat sex offenders.”
Many blogs exist on Tumblr showing support for MAPs, claiming that they should be a part of the LGBT community and attempting to create “safe spaces” for these “minor attracted persons”. The blog “Pedophiles about Pedophilia” also presents many sob stories of “marginalized” pedophiles in pretty pastel colors, claiming that they mean no harm and just want to be loved like everyone else as shown in such headlines as “Why Pedophilia And Pedophiles Are Not A Risk To Children”, “Growing Up A Pedophile” and “How I came out as an anti-contact pedophile to the woman I love”.
This name change seems to follow in the liberal trend of rebranding things by giving them more “politically correct” names, but is the next step really normalizing pedophilia?
