President Joe Biden appears to have a habit of picking judicial nominees with rather problematic, eyebrow raising remarks. As Gabe Kaminsky with the Daily Wire unearthed on Saturday, Nancy Abudu, who is Biden’s appellate nominee for the 11th Circuit, made a litany of problematic comments in a post for the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), including that we live in “a separate and unequal society” and that voting restrictions on convicted felons is “practically the same system as during slavery.”
The post, from June 12, 2020, was highlighting how “On the 57th anniversary of Medgar Eversâ assassination, the march for voting rights continues.” Medgar Evers was a civil rights activist who was killed on June 12, 1963 by a member of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK).
As Abudu mentioned in her post, with added emphasis:
Throughout my career, I have come to realize â like Evers did â that nearly everything in the multifaceted fight for civil rights boils down to this: Elected officials continue to promote policies that are totally at odds with their constituentsâ needs and often violate their civil and human rights.
