Seventeen of President Trump’s federal court nominees cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee Thursday, setting them up for floor votes as Republicans look to install as many conservative judges as possible.
Eight of the judges were deemed very controversial and were approved on a 11-10 party-line votes, while just two were approved unanimously.
Three of the judges were for circuit courts.
Democrats raised concerns over several of the nominees over their LGBTQ positions, saying they would not be fair to that community.
But Democrats spent the most time protesting Thomas Alvin Farr, who was nominated to be a district judge for the Eastern District of North Carolina. Mr. Farr was one of the judges receiving a party-line vote.

Good! If Cory Booker and Kamala Harris are against Thomas Alvin Farr it just shows what an excellent federal judge he will be.

Very controversial? Sure, if you say so.
To: jazusamo
saying they would not be fair to that community. How do they know? This appears to be their bigotry and prejudice showing. How uninclusive of them.

"Eight of the judges were deemed very controversial and were approved on a 11-10 party-line votes..." "11-to-10" out of committee is how I want all the nominations to pass...
"...two were approved unanimously...
I'm suspicious of these "unanimous" ones...Is the next Roberts among them??

Are any of these guys replacing any in the 5th and 9th Circuit? Those commie judges should be tarred and feathered.
To: shelterguy
Very controversial? That’s good news to me. I hope Trump appoints 1,000 “very controversial” judges becfore he leaves office.
To: jazusamo
Congressional Democrats all prefer criminal liberals to honest conservatives. That’s their policy.
