If Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) and Democratic colleagues who claim to oppose antisemitism put their votes where their mouths are, they will oppose President Joe Biden’s nomination of Adeel Mangi, a left-wing radical, to the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Mangi’s nomination barely survived a party-line vote last week in the Senate Judiciary Committee, where several Democrats were said to be worried about his fitness for the job. He serves on the advisory board for the Rutgers Center for Security, Race, and Rights, and most criticism of the center revolves around a panel it hosted on the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks which featured speakers with ties to, or a history of advocating, terrorist causes. Even after that 9/11 panel drew unfavorable attention, Mangi stayed on its advisory board, but now claims he was unaware of the event.
