                          JUDICIAL NOMINATIONS

  Mr. McCONNELL. Madam President, now on another matter, the Senate is 
about to leave Washington for the August State work period.
  When we come back, Senate Democrats will face a daunting list of 
judges that the Biden-Harris administration will want them to confirm.
  There is Adeel Mangi and his record of bumping elbows with terrorist 
apologists and advocates for cop killers.
  There is Kevin Ritz and Karla Campbell, both the nepotistic 
beneficiaries of corrupt bargains between the Biden-Harris 
administration and the judges they would replace.
  There is Julia Lipez, another nepotism hire, who has distinguished 
herself in her leniency toward a parent who killed their baby with 
fentanyl.
  There is Embry Kidd, who went soft on sex abusers and then misled the 
Judiciary Committee about it.
  There is Ryan Park, the self-described ``tip of the spear'' of 
progressive activism, who fought hard to let colleges discriminate 
illegally against Asian applicants.
  There is Sparkle Sooknanan, whose nomination Congressman Velazquez 
called ``an insult to the people of Puerto Rico.''
  And then there is Mustafa Kasubhai who has advocated incorporating--
listen to this--Marxist theory into property law.
  So as our Democratic colleagues head out of town, I would suggest 
that they consider whether the radical goals of the Biden-Harris 
judicial project are really worth it.
