and if memory serves me, she also once took a field trip to the hartford area in connecticut and watched then comparatively young state attorney general arguing in court in a desegregation case. now, i have no illusions that that experience played any part in her desire to use her extraordinary skills and talents and gifts and education as a public servant and lawyer for the public good, but that's been her career. and that's exactly what we need now at the helm of the civil rights division. there is no excuse for waiting another moment to confirm her to this most important post. she is the civil rights chief for this moment because we are in a moment of reckoning, justice, and equity and equality are on the line now, and her strength and tenacity meet this moment. now, unfortunately, there are some on the other side who have used ms. clarke's nomination to make baseless allegations against her, including allegations that she supports abolishing the police. to support is this distortion, they have repeatedly invoked a 2020 op-ed written by ms. clarke and published by "newsweek." and i wa
