Severino, a former clerk for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas said that the fact that only one Democrat voted to confirm Duncan shows how far left the party has gone.

Severino, who now serves as chief counsel and policy director at the conservative Judicial Crisis Network, said in a statement shared with The Christian Post that "Trump selected one of the best lawyers of his generation."

"He will uphold the Constitution and apply the law fairly as it is written," she said. "It is sad that only one Democrat was willing to break ranks and vote for such an impressive nominee; a sign of how extreme Dems have become, and another reason we need more conservative Republicans in the Senate."
