The U.S. Senate has confirmed a St. Louis County attorney known for her opposition to abortion and support for religious rights to be a federal judge in St. Louis.
Senate Republicans on Wednesday confirmed Sarah Pitlyk to a lifetime seat on a federal court, despite the American Bar Association rating her as “not qualified” for the position.
Pitlyk is special counsel to the Chicago-based Thomas More Society, a not-for-profit conservative law firm that is “dedicated to restoring respect in law for life, family, and religious liberty.”
