A lawyer who led the fight against Obamacares contraceptive mandate, eventually winning the Hobby Lobby case before the Supreme Court, won confirmation by the Senate Tuesday to a federal appeals court.
Senators voted 50-47 to confirm Stuart Kyle Duncan to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which covers Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi. Only one Democrat, Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, broke with his party to support Mr. Duncan.
Other Democrats voiced opposition to Mr. Duncan as an unfit ideologue who fought womens access to reproductive healthcare. They also said his defense of state laws requiring photo-ID to vote, among other voting changes, amounted to voter suppression for minorities.
He has made a career out of fighting to restrict the rights and legal protections of the vulnerable and those who are powerless, Sen. Ron Wyden, Oregon Democrat, said.

Oregon's Ron Wyden seems to be at odds with voter ID, typical RAT.

Only one Democrat, Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, who is running scared, broke with his party to support Mr. Duncan.

When all or virtually all of the Dems appose a judge, you know it’s a high quality nominee.

womens access to reproductive healthcare Translation: maintaining the Hell-spawned fiction that a woman who solicits the violent murder of her unborn child is seeking "healthcare".

I think this was more of an inane “resist” gesture and would have been the same for any nominee of Trump.

Absolutely correct we are the point where any nominee that gets more than a few Rats to confirm is almost certainly a very bad pick. I’m looking at you Wray.

Here you have the massively insane left wing ideologues of the democRAT party complaining about someone else being an ideologue.
A note to democrats: take that giant log out of your eye before complaining about the splinter in your opponents eye.
