Senate Confirms Court Pick Who Attacked Voting Rights

“The Senate voted on Wednesday to confirm another one of President Trump’s judicial nominees, Andrew Oldham, despite more than 200 civil rights groups opposing him over his record of trying to restrict voting and civil rights,” the HuffPost reports.

“Every Republican voted to put Oldham, 39, into a lifetime seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, based in New Orleans. Every Democrat opposed him. The final tally was 50-49.”
