The GOP goes from Elephant to Jellyfish

GOP to NJ judge pick: Muslims need not apply
In case you missed it, we just scored a top-notch New Jersey nominee to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit: A lawyer from Jersey City known as a defender of civil rights and religious freedom, who has support from both the Muslim and Jewish communities.
This should have been an historic moment Adeel Mangi, picked by Joe Biden, would be the highest ranking Muslim judge in American history. His young kids were there for his recent confirmation hearing before the Senate, sporting ties.
But what we got instead was an ugly spectacle, and an insult to New Jersey. Instead of asking about his impressive qualifications or landmark cases, Senate Republicans shouted at and relentlessly interrupted Mangi with irrelevant, salacious questions about Israel, Hamas even whether he celebrated 9-11.
Notably, another judicial nominee being vetted at the same hearing, who is Jewish, was not asked about Israel, or any of this. Its just the new litmus test for Muslims, apparently no matter if the man happens to be Pakistani American. They all look the same, right Tom Cotton?
