The Judiciary Committee voted Thursday to approve Greg Katsas, one of President Trumps White House lawyers, for a spot on the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., overcoming complaints from Democrats who said they feared putting a Trump ally on the court that hears many big federal law cases.
Mr. Katsas now moves to the Senate floor for final confirmation after the 11-9 party-line committee vote.
Mr. Katsas served as deputy White House counsel since January, advising the president on his travel ban policy, his voter integrity commission, the challenges to Mr. Trumps business arrangements under the Constitutions Emoluments Clause, immigration policy and the Obamacare contraception mandate.
But Mr. Katsas refused to detail his work for the Judiciary Committee during his confirmation hearing, saying he would be violating his duty as a lawyer if he disclosed the legal advice hes given the president.
Its difficult for us to know if Mr. Katsas will recuse himself appropriately when we dont even know what all the legal issues he worked on, said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, ranking Democrat on the committee.
The progressive Alliance for Justice said Mr. Katsas would be Trump in a robe.

The ABA is so far left they should be abolished.
Resign from the ABA is a good move.
ABA is the sister group for AMA (medical). The same clowns who paraded in front on obamatard when he rolled out Odumbocare. These associations should officially say where they lean.
That’s just like the AMA American Medical Assoc. I believe. I’ve had a few doctors tell me it’s so far left it’s off the map.
ugh. Posessed - both of them.
you beat me to it. Good memory. Clowns in white coats. Who DOES that and calls themselves a respectable Doctor?
Exactly! The RATS are using every excuse they can possibly find to belittle President Trump’s judicial nominees and it’s not working.
The subject of recusal is irrelevant if it merely has to do with advice offered on a previous occasion. Recusal would be appropriate if the case involved guilt or innocence on the part of the justice himself.
My current physician has a picture of Trump on his wall. He knows what he’s doing. I didnt press it but I have a feeling he only wants to treat Trump voters and doesnt accept obamacare.
suck it up butter cup!!
Lets git er done, folks!
“Trump in a robe,” as if we didn’t have “Obama in a robe” every time during the last eight years!
cripes...we should be sending the Rodney Dangerfield “While we’re young” caddyshack video cut to the senate.
Can he afford the pay cut?
Trump photo on wall.
THAT’s gutsy and terrific.
Love it.
Liberals have mental issues that cannot be healed perhaps.
Not that was rude, wasn’t it?
Liberals have been rude to us for the past 8 years. Now is the time to do the same.
