One of Trump's judicial nominees, Wendy Vitter, openly refused to agree whether or not Brown v. the Board of Education was correctly decided. The case ruled in the matter whereby that state laws requiring separate but equal schools violated the American Constitution.
Vitter's outright impartiality triggered "outrage and renewed criticism of the President's efforts to reshape the judiciary," reports CNN. It also shed light on other judiciaries and their "personal" religious and racial beliefs.
Vitter is the General Counsel of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New Orleans and is married to former Louisiana Republican Sen. David Vitter. Back in 2007, Wendy's husband was involved in in the sex scandal concerning the "DC Madam."
Of course, Wendy Vitters made clear that, if confirmed, she'd set aside "personal, religious or political views" and she would be bound by Supreme Court precedent. However, it is rather hard to believe. As Vitter said herself, there is a fear of a "slippery slope " that impartiality will be questioned.
According to Constitution experts, Vitter's attitude and her answer were shocking. Indeed, it is a big deal if someone who wants to be a judge cannot commit to the basic civil and human right in the country whose Constitution prohibits segregation.
