The Senate just confirmed a Trump judicial nominee who refused to say if Brown v. Board of Education was correctly decided
Washington The Senate on Thursday confirmed President Donald Trump's pick for the US District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, Wendy Vitter, whose refusal to say whether a landmark civil rights opinion was correctly decided angered Senate Democrats.
Vitter -- who is the general counsel of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New Orleans -- was confirmed to the lifetime position by a 52-45 vote. Last year, during a confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Vitter was asked by Sen. Richard Blumenthal if she thought Brown v. Board of Education -- the landmark opinion from 1954 that struck down school segregation and the"separate but equal" doctrine -- was correctly decided.
