Sen. BOOKER: Shouldn’t we ask what your financial tie is to Trump?

Trump nominee: My firm has revenues of almost $2 billion. It’s a small amount.

Booker: To you. To the average American, it’s $400,000. This is a president with personal lawyers all over his administration.

Justice GINSBURG said it best.

Gutting the Voting Rights Act is like “throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because you are not getting wet.”
