“The White House has a new script. It knows that peddling the Big Lie is a political loser. So it’s now directing its judicial nominees to use bizarre qualifiers like “by law” Joe Biden won the 2020 election.
“Joe Biden won the 2020 election. He beat Donald Trump. January 6th was an insurrection and an attack on the Capitol. That’s it.
“These aren’t controversial or in question – they’re facts.
“If a judicial nominee can’t say those facts – outright – they can’t be independent from Trump. They should not have blue-slips returned on their behalf by Senate Democrats for their nominations. And they should absolutely not be given lifetime seats on the federal judiciary.”
