      I "retract" this tweet, based in part on my misunderstanding of #Senate procedure (which @StevenJDuffield clarified), but adhere to my view that Ryan Bounds was smeared (& I'm working on a detailed analysis of his old college op-eds to show he's no racist).https://twitter.com/DavidLat/status/1020033573276078080 …

      This is true; Ryan Bounds asked @WhiteHouse to withdraw his nomination. This shows the kind of person he is (sacrificing his own interests for what he sees as the greater good), but I agree w/@EdWhelanEPPC that it will only encourage more hit jobs and smears. https://twitter.com/nielslesniewski/status/1020027242385149956 …

      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.

      The @WhiteHouse isn’t required to adhere to this, but FWIW, here are the folks approved by the senators’ committee: http://eppc.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/OR-Signed-Judicial-Candidates-Letter.pdf …

          Thanks David. You have any personal favorites? I trust your instincts on these matters. Also, patiently waiting for nominees from AZ and MS. Any insight on the delay in announcing anyone.
