All eyes will be on House impeachment hearings this wk, but a thing also happening is Mitch McConnell holding a vote to confirm Steven Menashi to be a lifetime federal judge.

He's one of Trump's most questionable court picks yet -- and that's a high bar. huffpost.com/entry/steven-m…
Some things to know about Steven Menashi, who is on the verge of becoming a lifetime U.S. circuit court judge.

He's only 40. Never tried a case. He denounced women’s rights & diversity. He refused to answer GOP & Dem senators’ ?s. He may be tied up in Trump's Ukraine scandal.
Some other things to know about Steven Menashi.

He's a WH legal aide to Trump.

He's been working with Stephen Miller on immigration issues.

He was legal counsel to Ed Sec Betsy DeVos when she rolled back Title IX protections for survivors of sexual assault on campuses.
Steven Menashi also said all this stuff about women, diversity, people of color, LGBTQ rights, etc.

He's definitely a guy you'd want making legal decisions that affect millions of people for generations to come!
Susan Collins is the only GOPer opposed to Steven Menashi. That means he's got the votes to be confirmed.

John Kennedy was sounding like a no vote, but he caved last week. “I’m going to vote for his nomination because I think his reasons are carefully, carefully articulated.” 🤔
Lindsey Graham is supporting Steven Menashi, but even he can't manage a ringing endorsement.

"He's written some really weird stuff. He's different than I would have chosen, but I think he's led a consequential life."
Anyway, what else can I tell you about Steven Menashi?

Did I mention he helped devise an *illegal* Education Department effort to use private Social Security data to deny debt relief to 1000s of students cheated by for-profit colleges? nytimes.com/2019/11/06/us/…
