Senate GOP: Southern Poverty Lawyer a Poor Choice for Judge
from FRC:
Nancy Abudu isn’t a household name, but her employer — an anti-Christian group called the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) — certainly should be. The “civil rights” organization, whose fall from grace rocked the Leftist establishment a handful of years ago, turned out to be a hive of racist scam artists that exploited its donors and sexually harassed employees. Turns out, the so-called hate watcher was the biggest hater of them all. And now, thanks to Joe Biden, one of their top attorneys is on the verge of becoming a judge on one of the most important courts in the country.
A trip to the Senate Judiciary Committee was never going to be a pleasant experience for an extremist like Abudu. After years of working for organizations with a history of targeting conservatives, Abudu knew she would have to answer a lot of hard questions. And the Senate’s GOP didn’t disappoint. In one heated exchange after another, conservatives put her on the hot seat for everything from the SPLC’s listing of Family Research Council as a “hate group” to her jobs at the who’s who of radicalism.
Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) was one of the most vocal, drilling Abudu on her record, highlighting her time at the SPLC and ACLU. “You’ve never served as a judge. You’ve spent your entire life as an advocate. And as an advocate on the extreme Left. There has been a pattern of nominee after nominee that had been extreme zealots. But I have to say, your nomination, when I look at your record, I find deeply concerning. The Southern Poverty Law Center is a hateful and extreme place. And their hate, among other things, has led to horrific violence.”
