Mike Lee questions Nina Morrison, EDNY nominee and Innocence Project litigator, on whether prosecutorial misconduct has tainted "thousands" of cases over time.
(It has!)
(It has!)
Ted Cruz, unremarkably, was even worse than Lee.

Hawley is up, and he's doing the same. (Hawley's reliability on "law and order" is undercut by his view of the events of Jan. 6.) He's going after St. Louis DA Kim Gardner now (re-elected in 2020 by her constituents), who the Republican guys leading the state dislike.
Hawley, as shameless as they come, says reform prosecutors are "pro-crime."
This point from Sherrilyn is important, especially in light of Hawley's diatribe there. Even if you agreed with his, Cruz and Lee's thoughts about prosecutors, that would make lawyers like Morrison — and a balance of judges like her — all the more important in an equal system.

Tom Cotton yelling at Nina Morrison that he's incredulous that the courts could miss the possible innocence of a person for 20 years shows that he's either stupid or just an ideologue who cares not for facts because we know that such things do, in fact, happen.
The Cotton-Morrison exchange, the whole thing, is the best recommendation of her nomination for a federal judgeship that I can imagine.
