Joe Biden has nominated the pro-abortion attorney who represented the Mississippi abortion business in the Dobbs case to a position as a federal appeals court judge.

Julie Rikelman is getting a consolation prize after losing the biggest case of her career when the Supreme Court handed down its monumental decision to overturn Roe v. Wade on June 24. Biden has nominated the radically pro-abortion attorney, who worked for the Center for Reproductive Rights abortion advocacy group, to a position on the Boston-based 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

The irony is that Rikelman represented the Jackson Women’s Health Organization abortion business, which has closed down thanks to the Mississippi abortion ban.

Democats will have to move quickly on her nomination if they want to get her approved for the appeals court.

Once there, Biden’s nominee will almost certainly face a filibuster from pro-life Republicans who don’t want to see the woman who fought to keep Roe in place making decisions about whether pro-life laws are constitutional.
