Nomination of Kara Marie Westercamp (Executive Calendar)

The Senate considered the nomination of Kara Marie Westercamp to serve as a judge on the Court of International Trade, the court that hears cases involving tariffs and trade duties, including lawsuits seeking to recover losses tied to tariff policies. In the sampled remarks, Senator Durbin spoke against confirming her, saying her past social media posts spread false accounts of the January 6 attack and criticized members of Congress who did not support President Trump, and that she lacked the independence and maturity for the bench. The sample does not include statements from supporters of the nomination.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
