The Senate has confirmed another former Brett Kavanaugh clerk to the federal bench after she received a "not qualified" rating from the American Bar Association.
Sarah Pitlyk will now be a judge for the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri after the Senate confirmed her nomination 49-44 Wednesday.
Liberal groups and lawmakers staunchly opposed her confirmation, pointing to Pitlyk's lack of experience in trial court and her work for anti-abortion activists.
