Schumer blasts Trump judicial pick: Farr's 'one of the worst'
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) blasted as "one of the worst" a judicial pick expected to get a vote in the Senate as soon as this week.
Schumer called Thomas Farr, who President Trump nominated to be a district judge, a "dyed-in-the-wool partisan with [a] particular hostility to voting rights."
"It's hard to believe President Trump nominated him. It's even harder to believe Senate Republicans are considering him again," Schumer said.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) teed up a vote on Farr and four other nominees before the chamber left for the weeklong Thanksgiving break.
But Democrats and their outside group allies have zeroed in on Farr's nomination, warning that, if confirmed, hell use his position as a federal judge to rule against minorities.
