Hirono has said probably more stupid things than any other senator. Anyway now we're past the Judiciary Committee and I expect that unless Ramirez's allegations have some truth to them, we're good to go. Hirono's a Dem anyway, and they have made their opinions irrelevant by pre-announcing negative votes. Certainly in Hirono's case, she'll always vote for the most left-wing option always. As it becomes clear toward the end of her speech to the empty Senate chamber, she's supported by the Native Hawaiian groups that probably want to take that state back.
