Senate Republicans on Wednesday voted to confirm President Trump's nominee to succeed Justice Brett Kavanaugh on an influential circuit court. Senators voted 53-46 on Neomi Rao's nomination to fill the seat on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals left vacant by Kavanaugh's ascension to the Supreme Court. No Democrats voted for Rao, who ran into controversy over writings on sexual assault and minorities.
"Today the Senate votes on the nomination of Neomi Rao to serve on the D.C. Circuit Court for life. She has minimal experience practicing law-no trials, no appeals, only one brief filed in U.S. court-and her writings on race, sexual assault, and other issues are deeply troubling," Sen. Dick Durbin

“Republicans have confirmed Trump’s picks for the circuit courts at a record pace, with Rao being the fifth to receive a vote in the past two weeks. “
And how much experience did Sotododo have?
you don’t need experience when you’re instantly a wise latina.
She was hounded by Spartacus, who demanded to know if she had hired LGBT people to work for her. She responded, to paraphrase, that she didn’t know the sexual identity or orientation of people who worked for her.
It’s unclear to me, why Spartacus was so interested in the gender identity/orientatation/LGBT status of employees of hers. And he seemed surprised she didn’t know about it.
In spite of activists and militant types, there are people who are “gay” who are quietly going about their lives. Not everyone loudly broadcasts such information.
Which sport did he get his scholarship/admittance in?
Not knowing that the Rao vote was today, I was curious this morning what the heck has the Senate done since the new term started. Halfway through March and it appears to be the only thing they’ve done is make a handful of confirmations.
On today’s Senate legislative schedule: the Rao vote...period...not a damn thing else.
Where are the Graham hearings he promised that will delve further in FBI/DOJ apparent abuses? Where is anything else on their agenda?
Lazy bastards...
Poor widdle Commies they LOST
Just like AOC!
“you don’t need experience when you’re instantly a wise latina.”
Or a Fat Yenta either! BTW, it’s not Latina, it’s Latrina! You left out the “r!” The name Latrina fits because all she’s really qualified to do is be a Permanent Latrine Orderly (PLO).
I always wonder about her, and her degree in economics and international relations from Boston University.
As a college graduate, why is it, that she was working as a bartender? Why had she never apparently tried to get into a career field, based on her college education?
And wouldn’t she have had an easier time than some in pursuit of such career, as she is able to claim affirmative action status???
So what’s the story? Were her grades and/or recommendations so bad, in spite of her degree, that nobody would hire her?
From Wikipedia:
“Rao was born in Detroit, Michigan, to mother Zerin Rao and father Jehangir Narioshang Rao, both Parsi physicians from India,[3] raised in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, and was educated at Detroit Country Day School.[4] After graduating from Yale University with highest distinction in ethics, politics, economics, and philosophy, Rao attended the University of Chicago Law School, where she was a member of the Order of the Coif and received her Juris Doctor in 2000. She was the comment editor of the University of Chicago Law Review, and executive editor of the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy for the Symposium edition. Rao clerked for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas[5] from 2001 to 2002, and Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit from 2000 to 2001.
After her clerkships, she practiced public international law and arbitration at British law firm Clifford Chance in London, United Kingdom. During the second term of the presidency of George W. Bush, Rao worked in the White House counsel’s office and as a staffer on the Senate Judiciary Committee.[5] Later, she became a professor at George Mason University School of Law (subsequently renamed the Antonin Scalia Law School, a change she advocated),[5] where she received tenure in 2012. In 2015, she founded the Center for the Study of the Administrative State.[6][5]
She is a member of the Administrative Conference of the United States and the governing council of the American Bar Association’s Section of Administrative Law and Regulatory Practice, where she co-chairs the section’s regulatory policy committee.[1][7] She is a member of the Federalist Society.[8]”

Unqualified my arse. Durbin obviously hates her because she is a woman of color of Indian decent.
I thought your tag-line said...OR, Trannies, Taxes, and Tolls. lol
If Turban Durbin is against her, she must be alright!
As has been the case with 98% of PDJT’s nominations.
Democrats are BIG proponents of “bipartisanship”, dontcha know...
cc Justice Roberts /s

I’ve been watching C-SPAN 2 (U.S, Senate coverage) a bit, off and on, over these past two weeks. It was like sitting and watching grass grow.
Spartacus was the starting running back at his alma mater, the University of Atheism at Palo Alto, d/b/a Stanford. We was a top football talent; unfortunately, even more so than Gerald Ford, he played too much with his helmet off.
I might have been mistaken but I thought he was referencing Obama.
I fond the renaming of George Mason troubling.
