Senate confirms John Bush, Trump’s 6th Circuit Court pick
The Washington Times ^ | July 20, 2017 | Alex Swoyer

Posted on 07/20/2017 10:51:52 AM PDT by jazusamo

The Senate confirmed John K. Bush for a lifetime seat on the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday, over protests from Democrats who said he wasn’t fit to be a federal judge.

The Senate voted 51-47 to put him on the federal bench despite criticism from Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee of Mr. Bush for having made controversial writings, where in one particular blog, he equated the Supreme Court’s legal rulings on slavery and abortion. Sen. John McCain, Arizona Republican, and Sen. Debbie Stabenow, Michigan Democrat, did not vote.

The Judiciary Committee moved Mr. Bush’s confirmation to the Senate floor on a party line vote last week, but the full Senate voted on Thursday to clear him, making Mr. Bush the fourth judicial nominee of President Trump’s to be confirmed.

Am I the first one to ask today? I never heard of John Bush.
Is he, by any chance related to ‘THEE’ Bush Family? You, know, the globalist pals of Bill and Hillary Clinton?

I like a judge who has an eye for the truth.

I’ve never read of a connection to thee Bushes.

exerpt:

Notable matters:

Mr. Bush’s practice has focused on complex litigation, including antitrust, securities, financial institutions, insurance, intellectual property and product liability disputes. He has represented parties in successfully challenging the constitutionality of punitive damages awards.

Mr. Bush was one of former President Reagan’s attorneys during the Iran-Contra investigations.

From 2012-2015, Mr. Bush served on the Advisory Committee on Rules for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.

Can't think of a better qualification than that.

Debbie did not have time to vote. Too busy feeding that never closed pie hole of hers. Miss Tubby Stabenow loves that “Free Chow” Senate Dining Room. Debbie is way too hungry to be concerned about the business of the Senate and Michigan voters. She demands, needs and absolutely shoves down them calories as much and as fast as she can. Go, Debbie Stabenow!!!

Exactly...The RATs know they can’t stop him but they’re doing all they can to drag it out.

If they keep abusing the blue slip rule I’d like to see it done away with.
