After California Senator Dianne Feinstein crossed the aisle, 5th Circuit Nominee Leslie Southwick progressed from the Judiciary Committee to the full Senate by a 10-9 vote. Southwick is a far-right radical who has written some absolutely appalling decisions, and is far from deserving a life-time appointment to an appellate bench. His nomination should never have been bottled up. It should have been given a full vote in committee, and he should have been unanimously rejected there. Now that he’s on the Senate floor, they too should vote to reject his nomination. If the Senate will confirm a guy like this, is there anybody they won’t let through?
