Democratic Senator Catherine Cortez Masto's opposition to Adeel Mangi's nomination for the federal bench has imperiled his confirmation bid. Mangi's ties to groups with controversial affiliations, including cop-killers, have led to a loss of support among Democrats, with key senators non-committal or opposed. The nomination faces further challenges as Senator Joe Manchin announces his opposition to nominees without GOP support, impacting Mangi's prospects.
Sen. Joe Manchin (https://t.co/waPScvSVml) said he would not vote for one of President Biden’s judicial nominees, becoming the second Democratic senator to do so and likely dooming the nomination. https://t.co/9f3TlvwF7r
Senate Republicans’ baseless attacks against Adeel Mangi’s historic nomination cannot stand. Their playbook against Mr. Mangi is chock-full of McCarthyite guilt-by-association and double standards. The hard truth: It’s a baseless smear campaign. A THREAD. https://t.co/8sNOcxa8Ys

Sen. Joe Manchin said he will not support President Joe Biden's judicial picks who don't have any Republican support. "Just one Republican. That's all I'm asking for. Give me something bipartisan. This is my own little filibuster," Manchin said. MORE: https://t.co/72o8YmXDBP https://t.co/Wz2ygUCIr2

Look at the lengths the Democrat Party is going to protect vulnerable Senators from having to take a position on Adeel Mangi, a nominee who has antisemitic affiliations and who sits on the board of a group founded by a cop-killing domestic terrorist. https://t.co/DzyoRQg2Ox

Not surprisingly, Mitch McConnell this morning is leaning hard into trying to tank Biden's Muslim judicial nominee, Adeel Mangi. A few mins ago, on the Senate floor, he just parroted the baseless and ugly attacks that GOP operatives have been pushing about Mangi.
Joe Manchin’s ‘Little Filibuster’ of Biden Judicial Nominees https://t.co/lED7bKtZDM Politico reports that Democratic senator Joe Manchin is “sick and tired” of President Biden’s bad judicial nominees, so he's adopted a new practice of voting against any nominee who doesn't have…
Adeel Mangi, nominated to a federal judgeship based in Philly, has faced Islamophobic smears ahead of confirmation. Sen. Fetterman said yesterday he supports Mangi. Casey indicated possible support if Mangi comes up for a vote (which now seems unlikely). https://t.co/8MTnqqMNA1
EDITORIAL | Judge of character: Bad faith shouldn’t derail Adeel Mangi federal judgeship As GOP leadership toys with an explicitly anti-democratic agenda, the last thing Dem officials should be doing is making it easy. Show some backbone and confirm Mangi https://t.co/hKXxbMrkmp

Adeel Mangi was on the advisory board of a group that praised cop-killers. His nomination to be a federal judge is an insult to every brave law enforcement officer in the country. If the White House had any sense of decency, it would pull back this nomination.…

As @lpolgreen notes, the congressional fearmongering campaign against Muslim judicial nominee Adeel Mangi is partly being done in the name of Jews, even as Jewish organizations have actually endorsed the nominee. Muslims as target, Jews as props. https://t.co/A4v4ITgFjM https://t.co/kgSky3mIz4

Adeel Mangi was an advisory board member to a group that honored cop-killers as “elder freedom fighters.” His nomination is being strongly opposed by police organizations across the country for a reason. This alone should be utterly disqualifying. https://t.co/Lc7ub2gEtD

In @nytopinion Abandoning President Biden’s nomination of Adeel Abdullah Mangi for the federal bench “would be an unconscionable act at any time, but especially perilous for Democrats in the current political climate,” writes columnist Lydia Polgreen. https://t.co/x47dGkNu92
REMINDER: As Joe Biden and his allies flail away and scream "Islamophobia" as Adeel Mangi's nomination is on the rocks, here's the reality: Mangi was on the board of an organization founded by Weather Underground terrorist Kathy Boudin. Mangi has no place on the federal bench. https://t.co/Zb2fxN0vlM
