The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.WASHINGTON — The Senate Judiciary Committee voted Thursday to advance the nomination of Neomi Rao to replace Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.despite concerns from members of both parties
Rao, 45, is currently President Donald Trump’s “regulatory czar” at the little known but powerful Office of Informational and Regulatory Affairs. The top Democrat on the committee, Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, said she opposed the nominee because of her “troubling and aggressive record” at unwinding environmental, labor and Title IX protections. The D.C. Circuit often hears cases involving regulations and federal agencies — and can be a springboard to nominees for the Supreme Court.
Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa had expressed concerns with Rao during her confirmation hearing last month over Rap’s writings about women and sexual assault as a student at Yale University. Ernst said she had “hesitations” about the vote, calling Rao's college writings “abhorrent.” Rao met Hawley in his temporary office in the basement of a Senate office building on the eve of the hearing, and Hawley announced Thursday morning at the committee meeting that he would vote to advance the nomination, calling his meeting with her “particularly instructive.” He said that she had assured him that she believes that the text of the Constitution is “fixed.”, sexual assault and the responsibility of those involved. At times, she placed the onus on women to “accept responsibility.
If a crooked and corrupt Democrat like Feinstein hates her, then she must be perfect! 👍
Typical Democrat
SenFeinstein is an egomaniac politician playing both sides and getting rich off the process. The environment isn't her concern it's re-election. I have no respect for Neomi Rao, based on what I've read, and even less for Feinstein based on what I recently saw. GreenNewDeal
Senator Feinstein opposes a Trump nominee. I’m surprised you didn’t hit the story with a “Breaking News” graphic. 🙄
That, and because she wasn’t nominated by a Democrat president. 😏
Bad Choice?
You don't get to speak on behalf of the environment after butting heads with children who ask you to support the Green New Deal. That's not a thing you're allowed to do anymore.
