Washington Post - The Senate confirmed a controversial judicial nominee Wednesday over objections from civil rights groups and Democrats who criticized President Trump’s pick as being hostile to the LGBTQ community.
Just one Republican, Sen. Susan Collins (Maine), joined every voting Democrat to oppose Matthew Kacsmaryk’s lifetime appointment to the federal bench in the Northern District of Texas. He was confirmed, 52 to 46.
Opponents of Kacsmaryk’s nomination point to his writings, in which he has described being transgender as a “mental disorder,” called homosexuality “disordered” and said that “sexual revolutionaries” had made the unborn child and marriage secondary to “erotic desires of liberated adults.”
