Democrats withhold support for minority judges nominated by Trump

  1. When President Trump nominated Judge Thapar to a seat on a federal appeals court, the American Bar Association unanimously graded him well qualified. Yet when the son of Indian immigrants came up for a vote on the Senate floor, not a single Democrat backed him.
  2. Amul Thapar, whom President Trump nominated for the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, became just the second South Asian Pacific American to reach the appellate level after a failed filibuster attempt and opposition by Democrats.
