What’s controversial about him?
Democrats oppose Republicans.
Did the media ever call anything Obama did “controversial”?
We were told that times were changing and that only hold outs resisted “CHANGE”. Nothing controversial about his plans.
Civil rights groups and the Congressional Black Caucus have been trying to sink Farr’s nomination for nearly a year. The 64-year-old attorney wrote North Carolina’s extreme voter ID law in 2013, which was later struck down by a federal appeals court. The court found the law targeted black people “with almost surgical precision.” Farr also defended the state’s racially discriminatory gerrymandering in federal court in 2015 (and lost), and he may have lied to the Senate about his role in disenfranchising tens of thousands of black voters when he worked for the late Sen. Jesse Helms (R-N.C.) in 1990.
The fact that he was appointed by the Republican president. Doesn’t matter who the appointee is, doesn’t matter which Republic president ... “controversial.”
Way down in the actual article, Big Media makes up a bunch of horseclinton about him and calls him controversial.
Farr’s nomination has drawn intense opposition from Democrats and their outside group allies, who warn that, if confirmed, he’ll use his position as a federal judge to rule against minorities.
Part of their opposition dates back to the 1990s, when Farr defended Jesse Helms’s campaign after the Justice Department investigated it for mailing postcards to more than 120,000 North Carolinians, most of whom were black voters, suggesting they were ineligible to vote and could be prosecuted for voter fraud.
Farr - in response to questions from Sen. Dianne Feinstein (Calif.), the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee - said he did was not involved in the crafting of the postcards.
