Minnesota jurist Wilhelmina Marie Wright’s written accusation that President Reagan tolerated racism did not hinder her ascent to the federal bench. The Senate voted 58-36 on Tuesday evening to confirm President Barack Obama’s nominee to U.S. District Court in Minnesota.While a student at Harvard Law School in 1989, Wright wrote an article published in the prestigious UCLA Law Review that accused Reagan and his administration of “bigotry” and implied that property rights undergird American racism.>>> Obama Court Nominee Accused Reagan of BigotryTestifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee in July, Wright, an associate justice on the Minnesota Supreme Court, renounced the style but not the substance of her remarks 26 years ago.Stressing her inexperience at the time, the judge—known as “Mimi”—said her words were “inartful” but did not deny their underlying sentiment.Wright’s confirmation by the full Senate comes amid other ongoing political battles. Some conservatives have pushed Republicans to block Obama’s judicial nominees to protest what they see as executive overreach. Liberals complain that Republicans already are delaying the nominations for political purposes.
Why are they confirming any of Obama's nominees when he has less than a year in office...damnit!
Anyone know why Cruz missed a important vote.....again? Cruz supporters where are you on this?
No, I don't know. I would prefer that he had.And, I notice our other Texas senator didn't vote either. What's up with that?
Look who didn't vote.....
You'd better get used to this if Hillary Clinton has her way about it.
