Some Democrats are mystified that one of their own would oppose President Joe Biden’s judicial nominees simply because of Republican opposition.
“It’s gonna delay justice in many of our courts across the country,” Sen. Laphonza Butler said Thursday of Sen. Joe Manchin’s promise to oppose judicial nominees without a Republican backer. “So yeah, I am concerned about it.”
Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin said “of course” Manchin’s plan could pose a problem.
