Adeel Mangi's nomination to the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals has sparked controversy and debate across political and civil sectors. Senator Durbin and other supporters have defended Mangi against what they describe as Islamophobic insinuations by Senate Republicans, asserting that these attacks are un-American and without merit. Despite President Biden's continued support for his nominee, opposition within the Senate, including from three Democratic senators - @senjackyrosen, @cortezmasto, and @Sen_JoeManchin, threatens Mangi's confirmation, potentially preventing him from becoming the nation's first Muslim federal appeals court judge. Over 125 civil and human rights organizations have rallied in support of Mangi, denouncing the anti-Muslim attacks against him and urging for his confirmation. Critics, however, including some Democrats, question Mangi's suitability for the federal bench, citing concerns over his past support for organizations with controversial views. The situation underscores a deeply polarized nomination process and highlights the significant challenges faced by judicial nominees in the current political climate.
New NYT op/ed calls out the three Dem senators opposing Adeel Mangi's nomination -- Catherine Cortez Masto, Jacky Rosen, Joe Manchin -- not just for their nonsensical reasoning, but for flip-flopping on it with one of Trump's judicial nominees. https://t.co/IEC7OaVuyr
