GOP Hurdles Trump Judges
Republican senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis are using their Judiciary Committee positions to press the White House to consult senators on judicial nominees, delaying or derailing several Trump picks. The White House withdrew Arkansas nominee Lee Rudofsky after the state’s senators opposed him, while Tillis’s objections postponed a committee vote on Oklahoma nominee Zachary West; Cornyn has also raised concerns about Texas nominee Elliot Gaiser’s vetting and past election work. Republicans say they want to fill vacancies before Democrats take control of the Senate, while asserting senators’ role in selecting judges.
