The Senate on Nov. 14 voted to confirm Trump nominee Steven Menashi to the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals, despite intense opposition from Democrats and civil rights groups.
Menashi was confirmed by the Senate by a 51-41 vote, which was majority party-line except Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), who has fiercely opposed the 40-year-old’s nomination.
