A judicial nomination under attack — and now in peril, Chris Geidner Apr 11
The attack on Adeel Mangi’s nomination gives way to appalling cowardice...
"...Mangi would be the nation’s first Muslim American judge, and the attacks against him have been unrelenting. Although it started with Republicans, including at his confirmation hearing, the anti-Mangi efforts have continued in the months since, attempting to smear him with baseless claims of terrorism and anti-law enforcement connections...
...three Democrats in the Senate — Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen of Nevada and Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia — have given in to these racist, bad-faith, ideological attacks, saying that they will not support Mangi’s nomination.
This is appalling cowardice, and they should be ashamed.
Impressively, Durbin agrees that they should be ashamed — and said so..."
[Manchin is a republican plant, and always has been.]
