Similar Stories to Lawyer Who Defended North Carolina's Voter Suppression Laws Could End Up On The Federal Bench on Bing News

Campaign Action In a party-line vote Thursday, the Senate Judiciary Committee approved the nomination of Thomas Farr as a judge on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina. Who's Thomas Farr? He's the go-to lawyer for North Carolina Republicans. He's the guy the legislature there hired to defend the horrific voter-suppression law they passed in 2013. That's the law that the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals struck down last year for targeting "African Americans with almost surgical precision." Farr had argued that there was not intent to cut out any voters based on anything other than the goodness of the Republicans' hearts.
