Washington Post: “Union leaders are increasingly wary of President Biden’s potential selection of Judge J. Michelle Childs as a Supreme Court justice, citing her time working on behalf of employers against worker claims.”
“The situation sets up a potential rift with Rep. James Clyburn, a top Democrat who has been pushing for her nomination.”
The American Prospect says Childs “has a history of tough-on-crime sentences” and that her “punitive criminal justice rulings were repeatedly overturned” by higher courts.
Playbook: “The Childs pushback suggests Biden might once again be forced to choose between pleasing his base and tacking to the middle. Childs would undoubtedly garner bipartisan support.”
