Dems target Trump judicial nominee over his defense of census citizenship question
The Washington Times ^ | February 13, 2019 | Alex Swoyer

Senate Democrats signaled Wednesday that their next target among President Trump’s judicial nominees will be Michael Park, saying he’s been tainted by his work on behalf of conservative clients.

Mr. Park would be the first Korean American judge on the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals — but Democrats said that historic accomplishment isn’t enough to overcome their fears that he would display a conservative judicial philosophy.

Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer led the opposition from the chamber floor, saying his work as an attorney involved trying to undermine the Affordable Care Act, roll back affirmative action and defund Planned Parenthood.

“Park is currently working to defend the Trump Administration’s effort to insert a citizenship question into the 2020 census – a cynical effort to discourage people from responding to the census,” Mr. Schumer said.

The Judiciary Committee held a confirmation hearing for Mr. Park on Wednesday, and he said he would probably recuse himself from cases his law firm worked on “for a period of time.”

He also promised to be a fair judge.

If Schumer and Gillibrand are against Michael Park that makes him highly qualified to be a 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals judge.

I think Chuck U Schumer was born with his brain inside out and on the bottom of his feet. His world view is not from this universe.

” overcome their fears that he would display a conservative judicial philosophy.”

God help this country if a judge ever supported that or the Constitution or a right to life for the unborn.

I keep saying, dig their dirt and expose their corruption and treason; then indict them and lock them up together for the rest of their lives. Then Satan can house them for eternity.

Roberts that there are no obamma or trump judges

Schumer is a piece of shit

But they can put all the godless, America-hating, globalist abortionist/homosexualist capitalism-hating liberal progressive socialists on the bench that they want?

Somebody tell Chuckie that the 9th Circuit just ruled in SUPPORT of the census citizenship question.

Then ask him if he'd like to break the 9th Circuit into two separate Circuit courts?

If they were preparing to do brain surgery on Schumer, they would need call in a proctologist.

...Trump Administration’s effort to insert a citizenship question into the 2020 census...

Wouldn't that be re-insert, since it was there before?

It will also affect government funding
for sanctuary cities and states. Placing
illegal alien support on the state’s
shoulders. It’s also going to pinpoint
where the illegals reside. I believe
this is why the Dems are pushing back
hard on this.

They are targeting him BECAUSE he is Korean-American.

Democrats really hate minorities, and only tolerate them if they are slaves to the democratic party.
