#Stop Farr

Farr nomination one Republican away from failure as Flake digs in. Collins still deliberating, Rubio going back and reviewing and Dems think Murkowski could flip. Story with @marianne_levine https://t.co/FoinMHa94X

Thomas Farr Devised Ways to Keep Blacks From Voting. Mitch McConnell Wants to Make Him a Judge. https://t.co/mSRmjud8VW

Dems have opposed lots of Trump's judicial picks, but Thomas Farr really stands out. Black Caucus members attended his confirmation hearing to oppose him. Every Dem in Judiciary spoke out against him. A civil rights group tied him to “the worst elements of white supremacy."

Thomas Farr poses a serious threat to civil rights, especially since he would preside over a jurisdiction with a large African-American population. #FarrOut

Thomas Farr aggressively defended #NorthCarolina’s massive #VoterSuppression law passed in 2013 in the wake of the Shelby County v. Holder case. He should NOT be confirmed to the federal bench. Read @OfficialCBC's powerful letter of opposition https://t.co/ogVckB1B6g #StopFarr

Why is Thomas Farr, a man with ties to white supremacists and someone who is hostile to civil rights, THIS close to a lifetime appointment onnthe federal bench? Because @SenThomTillis and @SenatorBurr blocked TWO Black women nominated by @BarackObama.

Updated story on pending Farr vote: Senate Democrats announce fierce opposition to Thomas Farr, Trump's pick to fill long-vacant NC district court spot. #ncpol https://t.co/p1iiWr1kbW

A quick thread on federal judiciary nominee Thomas Farr, whose nomination is headed for a vote on the Senate floor. Farr is anti-voting rights, anti-worker and does not deserve a lifetime appointment. I remain ardently opposed to his nomination.

NC's Eastern District never had Black judge. Obama nominated two Black women but @SenatorBurr @SenThomTillis blocked both. Now, Trump wants white supremacist Thomas Farr in the seat. Call your Senators at 202-224-3121 & tell them to #StopFarr

Said it last time @SenateGOP tried to vote on Thomas Farr’s nomination as a federal judge. Saying it again now:

Farr has shown he's willing to defend the most strident attempts by NC Republicans to make it more difficult for minorities to vote.

I strongly oppose his nomination. pic.twitter.com/UfVWS9WvSh

Thomas Farr’s record of hostility to civil rights, sympathy for white supremacy, and support for voter suppression is no secret, and it makes him patently unfit for a lifetime appointment to a federal court. #StopFarr

Reminder: During Obama's presidency, Sen. Burr blocked 2 Black women from filling a NC district court vacancy.

Trump then nominated anti-civil rights Thomas Farr to the very same seat.

The district – nearly 30% Black – has NEVER had a Black federal judge.

We need to #StopFarr.

For background, here is @RevDrBarber in @TIMEMagazine_ on Thomas Farr (and how he got appointed) – https://t.co/ZSWpdMRBAn https://t.co/YbLbdaT6ZL

— Joy Reid (@JoyAnnReid) November 16, 2018

🚨 We're mobilizing to #StopFarr from being confirmed as a federal judge. Text FARR FROM FAIR to take action.

Remember: Farr was involved in a NC campaign that sent over 100,000 postcards to people of color to intimidate & mislead voters into not voting. https://t.co/wt8bJv0QFz

UPDATE: @SenateMajLdr McConnell is making a last-ditch effort to push Thomas Farr's judicial nomination through the Senate. If he's confirmed, you can bet he'll keep working to disenfranchise African Americans and communities of color. We can't let that happen. https://t.co/rY9FlGvQZr

— Elizabeth Warren (@SenWarren) November 16, 2018

NEW: Mitch McConnell just filed cloture on NC judicial nominee Thomas Farr, who has ties to white supremacists and has spent his entire career working against civil rights, especially voting rights and workers’ rights.

RT to send a clear message: Thomas Farr MUST be defeated. https://t.co/lhh0oxyQSt
