    David Lat Retweeted Gus Coldebella

    This sums up my reaction to the reported withdrawal of the nomination of Ryan Bounds, whom I've known for more than 20 years. He's a superb lawyer AND a wonderful person, and I'm so disappointed in the (mis)handling of his nomination.https://twitter.com/g_co/status/1020027413575753728 …

    What a shame. Ryan is an excellent lawyer and would make a great judge.

        Yeah - they should have done a better job covering up his racism.

        You should be disappointed in Bounds for writing bigoted things, not with the legislators that held him accountable for his bigoted views.

        This is one of the few opinion pieces I've disagreed with from ATL. As an Oregon lawyer, knowing many others who have served on committees & worked alongside Bounds for years, I trust their concerns.

        More time for him to check out some of those “ethnic hoedowns” he complained so bitterly about.

        My guess is they found something even worse than what is being reported. They could get him through without Scott if the could get a couple red state Dems.

        I knew Ryan at Stanford. I was an Opinions Editor for the Review like he was. There is no way he is some latent racist or hate monger. What a shame.

        Hmmm you might wana have kept that to yourself cuz chances are you yourself might be a little bit racist. Btw I was a gay student at Stanford at the time, and I must say karma is soooo very sweet! Have a blessed day!

        He has the intellectual wherewithal of a cockroach, and America would have been gravely injured by his tortured, almost mentally challenged level of reasoning.
