WASHINGTON The Senate Judiciary Committee voted Thursday to move forward with one of President Donald Trump s most contentious judicial nominees yet: Steven Menashi, a 40-year-old White House legal aide with a record of opposing and undermining rights for women, LGBTQ people and communities of color.

Every Republican on the committee voted to send Menashis nomination to the Senate floor for his confirmation vote. Every Democrat voted no.

Menashi, who is on track to be confirmed to a lifetime seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit, has drawn fierce opposition from civil rights groups , Democratic senators and at least one GOP senator over his wildly offensive past writings, his lack of experience and his refusal to answer senators questions about policies he worked on as the presidents legal adviser.

In past editorials, Menashi compared race data collection in college admissions to Germany under Adolf Hitler ; denounced womens marches against sexual assault ; opposed the radical abortion rights codified in Roe v. Wade; and claimed that a Dartmouth fraternity wasnt being racist when it held a ghetto party attended by white students donning Afros and carrying toy guns.

He also spread the Islamophobic myth that in 1913 Gen. John Pershing executed Muslim prisoners in the Philippines using bullets dipped in pig fat.
