Trump nominates openly white-nationalist and anti-semitic judge
The judge in question is Steven Menashi.
This is NOT normal. This is NOT American. When will the people of the US rise up and stop Usurper Fasicst Donald Trump? |

A link would have been helpful, so here's one.

Arguing for long-standing Israeli policy makes one "openly white nationalist" these days?

It is based on familiarity with the law review article in question: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....act_id=1592560

This isn't really a Trump thing, it's a GOP one. Trump pretty much puts up people on the Federalist Society's list and the GOP push them through to get as many conservative bums on judge's seats as they can.

Absolutely. Trump simply hasn't a clue as to what makes a judge. Trump may be out in January 2021, or even earlier; but the Republican packing of the courts will last for decades. It isn't just conservative judges that are being nominated, it's young conservative judges.
