5. Sen. Richard Blumenthal 

On the Democratic side, Blumenthal, a senator from connecticut, called Duncan and other Trump nominees "legal Neanderthals."

"Kyle Duncan is almost a Saturday Night Live caricature of the judicial nominees who have come from the Trump Administration," Blumenthal was quoted as saying during a conference call Tuesday.

"I've said that these judicial nominees are legal Neanderthals, and Kyle Duncan is straight out of the Stone Age. He's not only out of the mainstream, he's out of the stream completely. I have appeared before the Fifth Circuit and I have tremendous respect for its judges. He is unworthy to be on that court."
