Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) announced he would withdraw Bounds’s nomination after the vote to confirm him was delayed for nearly an hour, prompting speculation that the GOP did not have support it needed to carry Bounds’ nomination.

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) told reporters Thursday that the decision was made with the White House, following concerns Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) raised about the nomination.

“Senator Scott raised some concerns yesterday about the nomination and I think it became apparent the nominee was not going to prevail,” Cornyn told reporters after Bounds’ vote was withdrawn. “The White House decided under the circumstances to withdraw the nomination and so that’s where we are.”

spokesman for Scott confirmed that Scott had concerns about some of Bounds’s writings, while another Republican aide concurred that Scott had expressed problems with Bounds’s nomination.

Democrats opposed Bounds’s controversial nomination, bringing up articles he had written in the Stanford Review while in law school that criticized and ridiculed multiculturalism and groups concerned with racial issues.

Bounds apologize for those writings earlier this year, but senators continued to bring them up.

Republicans could not afford to lose any potential votes for Bounds’s confirmation, as the Senate is split between 51 Republicans and 49 Democrats. Only 50 Republicans are able to vote now because Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is absent while he receives treatment for a serious form of brain cancer.

this is why we don't need muds in the conservative movement. when push comes to shove they fall back on their petty racial tribalism

“During my years in our Multicultural Garden of Eden,” he wrote, “I have often marveled at the odd strategies that some of the more strident racial factions of the student body employ in their attempts to ‘heighten consciousness,’ ‘build tolerance,’ ‘promote diversity’ and otherwise convince us to partake of that fruit which promises to open our eyes to a PC version of the knowledge of good and evil. I am mystified because these tactics seem always to contribute more to restricting consciousness, aggravating intolerance and pigeonholing cultural identities than many a Nazi bookburning.”

In another article, he urged the university not to lower the burden of proof in finding accused rapists in violation of university policy, writing that “there is nothing really inherently wrong with the University failing to punish an alleged rapist — regardless of his guilt — in the absence of adequate certainty,” and adding, “expelling students is probably not going to contribute a great deal toward a rape victim’s recovery.”

Bounds told senators Wednesday his point was that the only way to stop rapists was to convict them in criminal court and put them behind bars, something the university couldn’t do.

In a third article he mocked the importance of “Sensitivity” and the university’s decision to make all students undergo mandatory sensitivity training after an LGBT statue was vandalized. He described sensitivity as a “pestilence” that “stalks us.”

“These sweet victories of Sensitivity reveal one thing: if we fancy ourselves oppressed (regardless of how oppressed, ignored, or downtrodden we objectively are) we will see the world, however unrealistically, as overflowing with instances that support our perception.”

This is a total fucking farce. Dude is not racist at all, he was just some cool and edgy college student who did not realize in 1994 that the internet had just been invented to keep everything we say forever.

Dude is really smart and is supposedly a nice and normal guy. His family was so proud of the nomination too, but now the vindictive internet is going to forever label him as the one person too racist to be confirmed as a judge.

Fucking horseshit.
