NEW: Republicans don't have enough votes to confirm one of Trump's most controversial judicial nominees to date, Thomas Farr buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Republicans Sens. Tim Scott and Jeff Flake are nos on Farr, and Republicans could only lose one vote — Scott pointed to a 1991 DOJ memo that included info about Farr's role in Senate campaigns accused of engaging in voter suppression tactics buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Assuming Farr's nomination is indeed over, this would be the second time this year that a "no" from Scott ended a nomination on the eve of a vote — remember Ryan Bounds? buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
The fact that Rs weren't able to get enough votes on Farr isn't a total surprise — he was nominated way back in July 2017, and when a nominee sits for a long time, it's often a sign of trouble. Sen. Tillis in Oct. indicated there were Rs with concerns buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
