Took Awhile, But Obama Names a Muslim To the Federal Bench

Because Islam and the constitution are so compatible.

Does he get executed if he doesn’t rule against gays?

Wash Exam –

President Obama used lawmakers’ first day back in Washington after a seven-week recess to push the Senate on judicial nominations.

Obama nominated Abid Riaz Qureshi to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on Tuesday.

Qureshi, a partner in a Washington law firm who specializes in False Claims Act cases, healthcare fraud and securities violations, is the first Muslim nominated to the federal bench.

“I commend President Obama for taking this important step in continuing to pick the best and brightest from every community to serve as part of our nation’s judiciary,” stated Farhana Khera, former counsel to the Senate Judiciary Committee and executive director of a Muslim legal advocacy organization. “A judiciary that reflects the rich diversity of our nation helps ensure the fair and just administration of the law,” she added.

Qureshi’s nomination comes as Democratic lawmakers and groups are trying to pressure Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to move forward with Judge Merrick Garland’s nomination to the Supreme Court.

For example, several lawyers and legal professors who have clerked for Garland at the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals are holding a rally for their former boss on the steps of the Supreme Court on Wednesday.

Obama nominated Garland to replace the-late Justice Antonin Scalia on March 16.

  1. GOP does not have the balls to stand up to anything 0buma does.if they had not funded 0bumas illegal executive orders he would have no cash to carry out his destruction of America.

  2. Obama has appointed over 300 far left activist LIFETIME judges to courts around the country. These appointments were supported by Grassley and other “republicans” in congress. We have a one party system of government and its not for the people or by the people. America has been fundamentally transformed by the importing of massive numbers of people who mostly will depend on Government support and WILL vote democratic which is the reason for Obamas open border/sanctuary city policies. Hillary WILL be the next president by hook or by crook the fix is in and she will finish Obamas “Rule for Radicals” agenda.
