Trump nominates openly white-nationalist and anti-semitic judge

[ChristianProgressive]

The judge in question is Steven Menashi.

This is NOT normal.

This is NOT American.

When will the people of the US rise up and stop Usurper Fasicst Donald Trump?

With credentials like that, he's a shoe-in for GOP approval!

And they wonder how Trump got his reputation for being a racist and bigot. It's a mystery, innit?

Arguing for long-standing Israeli policy makes one "openly white nationalist" these days?

And anti-semitic according to the OP.

(Not to mention that Menashi's grandparents were Jewish immigrants from Iraq and Ukraine and his maternal grandfather's relatives who stayed in Europe were murdered in the Holocaust.)

It is based on familiarity with the law review article in question: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1592560

This isn't really a Trump thing, it's a GOP one. Trump pretty much puts up people on the Federalist Society's list and the GOP push them through to get as many conservative bums on judge's seats as they can.

Absolutely. Trump simply hasn't a clue as to what makes a judge. Trump may be out in January 2021, or even earlier; but the Republican packing of the courts will last for decades. It isn't just conservative judges that are being nominated, it's young conservative judges.

I stand corrected because the shoe fit.

We're working on it. The good people, anyway.

Key point from the Slate article:

Although the American Bar Association considered Menashi “Well Qualified,” its highest rating....

The rest of the article gripes that they don't like his politics. Tough titty. And he's anti-semitic because all Republicans hate the Jews, I suppose.
