Any chance of re-nomination?

I would say zero chance. He has already been tarred and feathered as a racist. The decision by Scott and Rubio to not support the nom. has validated that ugly smear in many people’s eyes. I am still confused as to why their concerns were not addressed earlier in the process.

I share your confusion - see my latest

Do you know who the front runner is for the O’Scannlain seat now?
-
I don't - and I wouldn't expect a new name for a while, given the
#SCOTUS process heating up. -
True. Well I’ll take solace that we just confirmed Oldham who is wonderful. And of course Kavanaugh...
-
This week shows how diverse judicial nominations can be. One nominee (Oldham) was confirmed at 39 to a Circuit judgeship and will likely be a front runner for SCOTUS under the next GOP POTUS. The other (Bounds) was slandered and withdrew his nomination in disgrace.
-
As a few others have mentioned, I believe Bounds suffered greatly from not having a Republican home state senator to advocate forcefully on his behalf. If he happened to be from GA or NC I believe he is on the Court today.

David -- sorry if I missed this, but do you have links to the actual op-eds?
-
Yes - they’ll be in my forthcoming
@atlblog post - but they are also linked in many of the@AFJustice reports. -
Thanks. Will look for them.

If he wasn’t racist, the Federalist Society would never have put him on their list

Just like prominent racists like Clarence Thomas, Miguel Estrada, Janice Rogers Brown, Amul Thapar, James Ho... oh wait

What do you think occurred in the conversation btw the senators and Bounds? Why do you think they met with him? Reports say that they didn't feel satisfied that his views had evolved, but it appears that they spoke with him? So, is this is all posturing/smearing? To what end?
