The man Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer described as a “bottom crawler” was confirmed Thursday to a lifetime appointment on the federal appeals court based in his home state of New York.

Schumer and other Democrats have opposed many of President Donald Trump’s nominees to be federal judges that have been called up for votes by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. But the opposition to Steven J. Menashi has been more voracious than for most.

Menashi was ultimately confirmed Thursday, 51-41. Sen. Susan Collins of Maine was the only Republican to oppose the nomination.

“He just does not deserve to be on the bench, not only in terms of him — his creating a system that broke the law in taking money away from students and loans, but what he said about civil rights, what he said about LGBTQ rights, how he handled himself in the hearing — you could hardly come up with a worse person,” Schumer had told reporters on Wednesday.

Alaska Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski‘s office said earlier in the day Thursday that she would vote for Menashi, effectively ensuring his confirmation.
