北卡罗来纳州参议员的支持值得关注，鉴于他与总统之间经常尖锐的关系。
The North Carolina senator's support is notable given his often-caustic relationship with the president.
两位最近被特朗普总统提名担任联邦法院终身职务的北卡罗来纳州律师，尽管曾参与前联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·科米的高调起诉案，仍获得了共和党参议员托马斯·蒂利斯的批准。
Two North Carolina lawyers recently tapped by President Donald Trump for lifetime posts on the federal bench managed to get sign-off from GOP Sen. Thom Tillis — despite their involvement in the high-profile prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey.
蒂利斯曾以毫不留情的言辞批评针对特朗普长期被视为政治对手的科米的刑事案件。
Tillis has criticized the criminal case against Trump’s longtime perceived political foe in unsparing terms.
“北卡罗来纳州有些骨头硬的人以为那是犯罪，”蒂利斯在八月参议院司法委员会会议上说道，指的是四月份因 allegedly 在网上发布贝壳拼出“86 47”照片而被控重罪威胁总统的起诉。“他们最好确实有证据来支持这一点，因为如果仅仅是一张照片，那人就该丢掉工作，”这位北卡罗来纳州参议员补充道。
“Some bonehead in North Carolina thinks that’s a crime,” Tillis said during a Senate Judiciary Committee meeting in August, referring to the felony indictment brought against Comey in April for allegedly threatening to kill the president by posting a photo online of seashells arranged to say “86 47.”“Well, they better damn sure have information to back it up, because if all it is is a picture, that person should lose their job,” the North Carolina senator added.
