  • On May 1, 2003, he was nominated by President George W. Bush to a new seat on the Southern District of California created by 116 Stat. 1758. Benitez was confirmed by the United States Senate on June 17, 2004, by a 98–1 vote.

    -from his wikipedia page

    Yeah, Kamala Harris getting voted in definitely would have solved this, and its all Trump’s fault. Dems are completely blameless here, despite all but one of them voting for this judge. It’s perfectly reasonable to be more upset at the people who didn’t vote for this than the people who affirmatively voted for it in your name.

    edit: extra lol:

    Benitez was confirmed despite overwhelming opposition from the American Bar Association’s Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary, which rates the qualifications of judicial nominees.

    so dont even try to pretend they didn’t know this guy was a shit.
