| Senate confirms Neomi Rao to DC Circuit in party-line vote |
| 2019-03-14 |
| [WASHINGTONEXAMINER] The Senate voted Wednesday to confirm Neomi Rao, President Trump’s regulatory czar, to succeed Justice Brett Kavanaugh on a powerful federal appeals court viewed as a springboard to the Supreme Court. The 53-46 vote to put Rao on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit split Republicans and Democrats as expected, as many Democrats were upset with her academic writings. Rao was scrutinized for op-eds she wrote while an undergraduate at Yale University about date rape and sexual assault. She also came under fire for arguing against a ban on dwarf-tossing. |

| #2 I wonder if Rao argued that dwarf-tossing was an expression of free speech since she was opposed to the ban at Yale. That argument opens all kinds of possibilities, e.g. Donk-tossing... |

| #1 That was easy. And screw the liberals, I think we should keep the ban on dwarf-tossing. |
