Michelle Childs's nomination to the influential U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit advanced to the Senate on Thursday.
The Senate Judiciary Committee advanced Childs in a bipartisan 17-5 vote on Thursday with backing by the panel's top Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley and Sen. Lindsey Graham .
While Graham argued Childs would"not have been chosen by a conservative Republican president,'' he lauded her reputation of"following the law as it is written, being fair, and having a disposition that lawyers enjoy being in front of," he said in a statement to the Washington Examiner. "Now we're facing a choice, sponsored by the most radical elements of the Democratic Party when it comes to how to be a judge," Graham said of Biden's selection of Jackson to the high court in March."They have the most radical view of what a judge should do."
