Sen. John Kennedy was the lone Republican to join all Democrats voting for a judicial nominee from Biden who has an extensive criminal record.

In the January 20 issue, the L.A. Sentinel featured a story affirming the support of the President Carlos Moore and National Bar Association (NBA) for the U.S. President Joe Biden’s nomination of attorney Andre B. Mathis as a judge for the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.  Unfortunately, the photos of Mr. Moore and Mr. Mathis were misidentified.  Above are the correct identifications. We apologize for the error.

The National Bar Association, which represents more than 65,000 African American attorneys and judges, emphatically supports the nomination of Andre Mathis as a U.S. Circuit Judge. With equal insistence, the NBA condemns the opposition of Sen. Marsha Blackburn to Mathis’ appointment.National Bar Association, NBA President Carlos Moore, Andre B. Mathis, Sen.

WASHINGTON — The Democratic-controlled Senate has barreled President Joe Biden’s judicial nominees down the confirmation track over the past year, and with the start of the new legislative session, it shows no signs of pumping the brakes.

Democrats in the media exploded at Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) for exposing President Joe Biden’s judicial nominee’s criminal history. 

Democratic senators praised Sixth Circuit nominee Andre B. Mathis at a hearing Wednesday while brushing aside Republican complaints about the White House's consultation with Tennessee senators on his nomination, arguing the process was a direct result of the GOP's past changes to appellate confirmations.

Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn couldn't be any less subtle in her racism, trying to make a Black judicial nominee look like a criminal with a rap sheet.
