Washington The Senate on Thursday confirmed President Donald Trump's pick for the US District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, Wendy Vitter, whose refusal to say whether a landmark civil rights opinion was correctly decided angered Senate Democrats.
Vitter -- who is the general counsel of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New Orleans -- was confirmed to the lifetime position by a 52-45 vote. Last year, during a confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Vitter was asked by Sen. Richard Blumenthal if she thought Brown v. Board of Education -- the landmark opinion from 1954 that struck down school segregation and the"separate but equal" doctrine -- was correctly decided.
Why do you have to say 'Trump judicial nominee' you can do better,your campaign against Trump has gone way too far
Picture of... her husband's swearing in Wtf? What kind of patriarchal bs is that?
TEST1:TEST2:TEST3:TEST4
That's crazy. Nominees should have an opinion about a case that was decided so long ago--and should express it. WTH?
What
Yet again another racist appointee by Trump to make sure we go backwards a hundred years. No Brown versus education no Roe v Wade no healthy immigration system. Now the Republicans are sitting in the US House just getting rid of all of the amendments by democrats.
Maga.

Go Trump! Great pic.
The Senate (well one side) is a bunch of idiots.
Did they ask her opinion on Marbury v. Madison, too? stupid
What in the entire hell is really happening?
KKK
Thank the trump voters for all these justices that are being appointed by trump and confirmed by the Republican led Senate. Sad ultra conservative crap
The Republic is being destroyed because Putin convinced 70k people that Hillary Clinton was “unlikeable”
This is pretty typical for judges it say things like. CNN writes an article for this typical action, then post a stock photo because they are beyond lazy.
I am not sure if we are marching to Gilead, Nazi Germany, or South African apartheid, but it's going to be bad.
Ask Biden what he thought
Why should he? Change is coming.
Really? Did he say it was decided wrongly? Did he say it was decided in a different way than he would have decided? Did he say the question the decision was based was flawed? Did DNC write the article for you?
Another one. Great job Mitch. You made it.
Hang on folks.. this ride to the past is going to be wild!
🤬
Well of course they did!
And I bet he hates asparagus too !!! Flog him and tie him to stakes.... Or, ..tell CNN to report real news and quit trying to start shit. This story is precisely why your viewership has dropped 25+% and your last in news ratings.
Only the best people 😜🙄🙄
Trump's nominees lie anyway.
This is why voting is so important! Brown v. Board of Education was a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court and no judge should be confirmed without acknowledging Brown v. Board’s significance and correctness!
This is stupid and misleading. Whether D or R is questioning it is dumb to ask potential judges about specific cases. This amounts to a litmus test. She was right to not answer that question.
Context. CNN strikes again
I- this country IS “the shithole”
We need to win the senate
Winning
Good
As far as I know, Alabama Abortion law did NOT outlaw Plan B... what are these liberals arguments being made by the left that victims of rape can't just get medical care the next day instead of waiting until the baby is fully formed.
First they destroy womens rights and now they want to promote segregation. Make no mistake, GOP would bring back slavery if they could.
Correct outcome does not mean correctly decided.
FACTS FIRST:
QUOTED JUDD NELSON U DONT CONDISEND
So for those who say that what is happening is not consistent with what happened in pre-WW2 Germany, is Trump now about to round up African-Americans, or just return us to Jim Crow days?
Good!
What a shame
Sounds like Joe Biden!
DQ JUST DILLY BARS AND BUSTER BARS AT THE STORE PROBLEM WITH DUNKIN DONUTS IS PEOPLE WITH MONEY WANT STARBUCKS MIDDLE CLASS AND POOR GAS STATION COFFEE

SweepTheGOPSenateClean2020!
There are consequences for not voting. Sitting out the last election because you didn't think a candidate wasn't progressive enough. You woke yet?
Team Winners..
If put to the popular vote today, how many white Southerners be okay with segregates schools? The courts are supposed to be above the fray.
. Well they can just get glad in the same pants they got mad in! .
First imigration then woman's rights now education. The GOP is destroying the nation.
There was nothing wrong with her answer how can she second guess the Supreme Court and that decision cannot be changed.
More trash on the bench ....
What the hell
THE PROBLEM WITH WENDYS IS THE FOOD IS GOOD BUT WHEN YOU WANT THAT TYPE OF BURGER YOU CAN GO TO FIVE GUYS OR SHOOPS OR MINAR DUNNS CAN LIVE WITHOUT WENDYS
CNN’s headlines are FakeNews

A sole republican, they always want to use the Bible for their views, these people believe that black people are mistakes
Who picks these fu*kin Senators?! Oh wait
Outstanding.KAG
senatemajldr is Trump's rubber stamp now and I hope it bites him in the ass next election.
Racist?
Yup, that sounds about white. Smdh
Judge Mrs. Diapers with a lifetime appointment? Terrific
'Give Trump a chance!' they said. 'It won't be that bad. You're overreacting. None of what you're afraid of is really going to happen. That can't happen anymore.'
Whaaaaa whaaa
Who cares ? Lol. If you need a puppeteer 😂😂😂
Not answering questions is common stock. Stop trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill. This is why CNN is fake news.
That sounds about white.
Say Bye to USA
