Most of President Joe Biden’s judicial nominees are distasteful to conservatives, but only a few are objectively so extreme as to be unfit for the bench. Nancy Gbana Abudu, though, is one such extremist.

It was somewhat lost in the Christmas shuffle that Biden on Dec. 23 nominated Abudu for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit. Abudu is the deputy legal director and director for strategic litigation at the Southern Poverty Law Center, a left-wing group that once merited at least some respect for its work against white supremacy but which years ago forfeited legitimacy.
