Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) once again delivered a masterclass in exposing liberal hypocrisy, this time dismantling left-wing professor Dr. Mary Anne Franks during a Senate hearing. Kennedy used Franks’ own words against her, forcing her to confront the radical rhetoric she regularly spews on social media and in academic circles. By the end of the exchange, Franks was visibly rattled, struggling to defend her claims that the U.S. Supreme Court is driven by “white male supremacy.”

The fireworks erupted during the Senate Judiciary hearing on the “Censorship Industrial Complex” on March 25, 2025. Franks, an outspoken legal scholar known for her far-left social media rants, attempted to present herself as a neutral expert—until Kennedy started reading her own statements back to her.

Franks initially denied any bias, but Kennedy quickly exposed her hypocrisy. He referenced an article she wrote for the New York University Law Review, in which she accused the Supreme Court of using the Constitution as a “tool of racial patriarchy.” Kennedy read her exact words aloud:

“Taken together, these two cases demonstrate that the Supreme Court has embraced the use of the Constitution as a tool of racial patriarchy.”

The Louisiana senator then hit her with another jaw-dropping quote from the same article:

“When the Supreme Court declares that there is a constitutional right to armed self-defense in public, it openly embraces and promotes a culture that privileges white men’s ability to terrorize and kill those that they perceive as threats.”

As Franks sat stone-faced, Kennedy continued, exposing an even more extreme claim she had made:

“By simultaneously expanding white men’s right to kill and constricting women’s right not to die, this Supreme Court has turned the Constitution into a homicide pact as well.”

Franks, caught in the act of her own radicalism, could only smirk and mutter, “That sounds like me.”

Kennedy wasn’t done. Turning to Franks’ social media history, he quoted an inflammatory tweet in which she claimed:

“The majority of Americans hate women more than they love anything. Including democracy.”

The absurdity of the statement hung in the air as Kennedy let it sink in. But there was more. The senator then confronted Franks about another tweet in which she ranted:

“There’s a reason why the conservative-dominated Supreme Court thinks the Constitution does not contain a right to an abortion but is convinced that it contains an individual right to possess firearms, and that reason is white male supremacy.”

At this point, it was clear Franks had no real defense. When Kennedy asked her to explain how such extreme rhetoric squared with her supposed objectivity, she attempted to dodge, snapping back, “Is there a question relevant to this hearing?”

Kennedy wasn’t having it. He leaned in and pressed her with the question that left her utterly speechless:

“Do you really think the United States Supreme Court—you’re an officer of the court!—is guided by ‘white male supremacy’?”

Franks, for all her radical claims, had nothing to say. The professor, who had spent years attacking conservatives as dangerous extremists, was now the one looking like the radical extremist in the room.

This hearing was a perfect example of what happens when leftist academics, who are used to unchecked radicalism in the ivory tower, get called out in the real world. Senator Kennedy exposed Dr. Mary Anne Franks for what she is—a partisan activist masquerading as a scholar. While Democrats attempt to paint conservatives as the true threats to democracy, it’s clear that their own so-called experts are the ones pushing divisive, race-obsessed nonsense.

In the end, the only thing more telling than Franks’ radical statements was her stunned silence when forced to answer for them.
