Steven Menashi, a nominee for the influential 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals, sparked frustration from lawmakers in both parties on Wednesday for declining to answer questions, including about his work in the Trump White House.

Menashi tangled with Democratic Sens. Dianne Feinstein (Calif.) and Dick Durbin (Ill.) and GOP Sens. Lindsey Graham (S.C.) and John Kennedy (La.), who at times appeared frustrated as they tried to get Menashi to discuss his legal thinking or his work on issues like immigration.

Kennedy warned Menashi, as he tried to get him to weigh in on a hypothetical, that “I don’t want you dodging my questions.”

“You’re really a smart guy but I wish you would be more forthcoming. This isn’t supposed to be a game. We’re supposed to try to understand not how you’re going to rule but how you’re going to think,” he said.
