"Senate Republicans just rubber-stamped another extreme, Federalist Society-approved judicial nominee to the federal appellate bench: 39-year-old Andrew Oldham"

"In his confirmation hearing, Mr. Oldham refused to say that the landmark #SCOTUS case Brown v. Board of Education was correctly decided. He also refused to say whether he agreed that voter discrimination still exists in the United States."

"He has also called the Supreme Court "the most dangerous branch" and told the Federalist Society that there are "particular things that I think are illegitimate in the way that we conduct modern American law.""

"Mr. Oldham's views are outside the judicial mainstream and show an extreme ideological agenda. That's clear from his writings and own words."
