A federal judicial nominee, Adeel Mangi, hasn’t been having the smoothest ride as he heads toward a spot on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. This nominee is in hot water for his connections to an anti-Israel think tank and a group that seeks to free folks who have killed police officers. Oh boy, it’s quite the pickle!<\/p>\n
The White House is standing firmly behind Mangi, despite a growing chorus of criticism from Republican lawmakers. Even some Democrats are starting to squirm in their seats over this controversial pick. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), a former bigwig at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, recently voiced her opposition to Mangi’s nomination. She’s especially uneasy about his involvement with the Alliance of Families for Justice, which has some pretty radical anti-police stances. If all Republican senators and Cortez Masto oppose Mangi, then he’ll need every single remaining Democrat to back him up. And hey, if things get really dicey, Vice President Kamala Harris might have to swoop in and break a tie.<\/p>\n
