1597: Honorifics
Senator John Kennedy Grills Judicial Nominee on Pronouns
Senator John Kennedy questioned judicial nominee Mustafa Kasheubai regarding a court order that invited participants to declare their pronouns and "honorifics" such as "Mix." Kennedy also challenged the nominee on an article where he suggested setting aside "conventional ideas of proof" when dealing with issues of equity, diversity, and inclusion. The nominee defended the statements as being related to interpersonal respect rather than legal standards.
