President Trump should renominate North Carolina lawyer Thomas Farr for a federal judgeship, and the Senate should approve him, despite the strange and still-unexplained opposition to Farr by Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C.

Last November, Scott told Fox News’ Shannon Bream that he intended to support Farr’s nomination, only to change his mind 24 hours later and force the nomination to be withdrawn for the rest of the last Congress. Scott provided no specifics as to why he changed his mind.
