If true, good riddance to this communist. She can go back to the Cornell Law School. Or better yet, Moscow University. Parents, I would seriously consider the value of a Cornell Law degree.

[struggle]

THANK GOD

[Gahanna Bob]

Wow! I thought sure the Dems would support the communist.

[butlerweave]

Afraid of losing their money ,LOL

[alloysteel]

Saule Omarova was just too much of a “good thing” even for the highly compromised Democrats.

A bridge too far by the oligarchy that is the real executive power behind Joe Biden.

[Bayard]

Factions realize Biden has no clout for getting what he wants.

He’s a puppet, and a puppet master cannot interfere directly or they risk revealing that they are the man behind the curtain.

[monkeyshine]

Why it matters: The defiant opposition from a broad coalition of senators reflects the real policy concerns they had with Omarova, a Cornell University law professor who's attracted controversy for her academic writings about hemming in big banks.

I despise Axios not just because they always put this "why it matters" into every article as if the audience is too thick to figure the facts out for themselves, which they are because the media never gives a broad collection of the facts. But also because they never really say why it matters in the why it matters section. And they don't say why it matters to whom. To them? To the subject of the article? To the political class? To other journalists? Who the heck reads them anyway?

No offense Runnyfan.

[Jim Robinson]

Bump!

Or better yet, Moscow University.

"People's Frindship University" (f/k/a Patrice Lumumba University) would be a better fit. Historically the training ground for semi-literate 4th world terrorists.

Moscow University is too respectable for a Stalinist ideologue like her.

[lee martell]

That’s my good news for today. I hope any Dem opposition is enough to overcome any Assistant Democrats aka RINOs ‘just trying to help out’.

[G Larry]

Whew!

I was worried she'd get in after the Jerome Powell nomination came in.

[joshua c]

down goes the marxist! down goes the marxist!

just nominating her should be an impeachable offense

[traderrob6]

Wish I could find a source for an unbiased, accurate description of her philosophies as all I can find are fluff and excuse making sites trying to make her look as good as they can.

[Chode]

[patriotfury]

Instead of “straight outta Compton” Saule Omarova was too obviously “straight outta Kremlin” to keep the real Kremlin DNC train hidden.

[escapefromboston]

Biden is so unpopular that Dems gain nothing from actually supporting him. They can see the writing on the wall that they are going to get zonked on midterms

[Republican Wildcat]

Republicans have attacked the Kazakh-born scholar in remarkably personal terms, and turned her nomination into a proxy battle over how banks should be regulated.

Typical axios garbage - her ethnicity has nothing to do with her very extreme views that make her unfit for the position and to imply that it does is ridiculous and outrageous.

[laplata]

I’d bet a million bucks that Obama is very pissed at this news.

[SkyDancer]

So I guess I can put my money back in the bank?

[Pilgrim's Progress]

Have the assistant Democrats spoke yet?
