The Senate Judiciary Committee has approved 17 Trump judicial nominees.
They include Thomas Farr from North Carolina, who was opposed by the Congressional Black Caucus and has a long history of white supremacy.
Republican Senator Burr from North Carolina, who supported Farr, had previously blocked the Obama selection of an African-American woman for a judicial appointment. African-Americans are 27% of the population of the area covered by the court but there had never been an African-American judge in that district. Sad!
