Halligan’s Nomination is to an Unnecessary Position.
The vacant seat to which Halligan is nominated represents unnecessary government expenditure because the D.C. Circuit already has enough judges. In light of the present financial crisis, no branch of government stands immune from budget cuts, and leaving this seat open will save the American people money without limiting access to justice. Some argue that judicial emergencies exist in a number of Federal district and circuit courts where empty seats may lead to increased caseloads for some judges. While there is some dispute as to whether such judicial emergencies exist, there is no dispute that the D.C. Circuit is without such emergencies. The President and the Senate should first focus on appointing and confirming good judges to courts that are the most in need rather than politically prioritizing circuits, like the D.C. Circuit, that are not in need.
Yep, just one more insult to the American people from the turkey in the WH with his agenda.
He wants to throw money at anything that supports his ideas and cut money to mainly the DOD when the presidents number one responsibily is the defense of our nation.
I’m so sick of this guy and I can’t really express my true feelings on this forum.
