Trump judicial nominee confirmed despite Chuck Schumer complaint that he's white
2018-03-02
Democrats still playing the race game
[WashingtonTimes] The Senate confirmed one of President Trump’s judicial nominees Thursday despite Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer’s attempt to foil the nominee because of his race.

Marvin Quattlebaum was confirmed to the U.S. District Court in South Carolina by a vote of 69 to 28.

Mr. Schumer said Mr. Quattlebaum was taking the seat on a court which had been left vacant after Republican senators halted two African American nominees picked by President Obama.

The New York Democrat said Mr. Trump’s federal bench is lacking the diversity that America symbolizes.

"Eighty-three of President Trump’s were male, 92 percent white. That represents the lowest share of nonwhite candidates in three decades," Mr. Schumer said on the chamber floor Wednesday. "The Trump administration...is taking a giant step backward, this time when it comes to diversity of their nominations. I’ll be voting no," he said.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican, pushed back, saying Mr. Schumer should judge nominees based off their character, not the color of their skin.

An ancestral crib of us Warrens --
Squaws, Okies, and balls;
Octoroons and 'you alls' --
Full of sparkly-eyed, high-cheekboned chorines!"

Has Schumer looked at the make-up of the court? Schumer's just being Schumer stirring up trouble and making problems where none exists.

Now if someone were critisizing the lack of diversity in the Dem Party in government because they have too many morons and idiots, people might notice.
