Trump Taps Indian Daughter Of Immigrants To Succeed Kavanaugh On DC Circuit
2018-11-15
[DAILYCALLER] President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
 will nominate Neomi Rao, administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), for a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

Speaking at the White House’s Diwali celebration Tuesday, the president said he was slated to make the announcement on Wednesday, but was so delighted by the event he spontaneously decided to reveal Rao’s pending nomination. Diwali is a Hindu religious festival and Rao is Indian-American.

"I just nominated Neomi to be on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, the seat of Justice Brett Kavanaugh," Trump said. "We were going to announce that tomorrow, then I said, ’You know, here we are, Neomi, we’re never going to do better than this right?'"

"Thank you very much, Mr. President, for the confidence you’ve shown in me," Rao replied. "I greatly appreciate it."

The D.C. Circuit seat in question was vacated following Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Rao, the daughter of Indian immigrants colonists, has served as the Trump administration’s deregulatory czar since 2017, and is widely considered a leading authority on agency law. Before re-entering the White House, she founded and led the Center for the Study of the Administrative State at George Mason University’s Antonin Scalia Law School, increasingly a bastion of conservative jurisprudence.

#4  That's better than Trump tapping Brett:
"We're buds!" "All these suds!" "I'm so wet!"
Press: JUSTICES HARASSED
SEZ DON, "NOT EMBARRASSED"
"O Lord, make us sober." "Not yet!"
