I don’t think President Trump will be voting Democrat any time soon.

a break from longstanding practice that diminishes the minority’s power to provide a check against ideologically extreme judges.

Somehow that longstanding practice did not stop the Democrats from packing the bench with ideologically extreme liberal judges.

F the Dems , let them go pound sand and eat doo-doo

While Trump might talk to Democrats, of course, at no point should Trump be considering Democratic picks. He is a Republican and should be consulting Republicans. Bottom line, pick the best candidates only, regardless of party affiliation.

[Williams]

Agreed.

[onedoug]

No candidates from radical – in other words nominal islam, pigastinianism, homosexuality, pedophilia, transgenderism and every other form of sexual perversion, communism, RINOism, atheism and other anti-God nonsense, criminal behavior of all types, black inadequacy, la raza, every other form of maladjusted minority status, murder, thievery, etc., need apply.

[oldtech]

Why should he pick Democrats when he has a choice?

[fhayek]

...and the best candidate will almost never be a Democrat...

[Two Kids' Dad]

Ditto to your comment Leo.

President Donald Trump’s judicial nominees are ignoring key Senate Democrats as they vie for lifetime appointments to the bench — a break from longstanding practice that diminishes the minority’s power to provide a check against ideologically extreme judges.

That's a bizarre claim. Haven't we been voting for Republicans in part because we're tired of ideologically extreme judges? Why on earth would we want Trump to allow Democrats to continue packing the bench with anti-Constitutional loonies?

[ataDude]

Well, golly gee. Who would have thunk it? :)

[Georgia Girl 2]

No more Dem activist judges.

[rockrr]

“Why can’t you just compromise...and do things my way?!”

[Bubba_Leroy]

Remember how the Democrats all put partisanship aside and voted to confirm President Trump’s nominees?

Gosh, neither do I.

[DrDude]

Your prior thread said Trump has appointed more Judges than the past three presidents. This thread is saying he needs to pick dems to make this work. BS. He should not put one Dem in an appointed position. NONE. ZIP, Zilch. NADA.

Why do Republicans always want to make nice and then get $hit on. Don’t put anyone with a D anywhere but Gitmo. We also need to stop listening to the media telling Trump to move around appointments like McMaster, Sessions, Perry, etc... Why do we want their bad ideas?

First time I’ve been glad I voted for the pubbie presidential candidate since Bush.

Gee, how many other times has it been a 'D' trifecta controlling and putting in the judges? We forget about the power games played in the past because even when it was an 'R' President, the Senate with advise and consent, had very strong 'D' counts. We also remember the big errors here, like how Bush'41 was given the con-job by RINO Senator Warren Rudman and his CoS John Sununu to nominate John Souter to the Supreme Court. That really went well!

Dems perform only massive, total resistance and then complain that they aren’t reached out to.

What a media to treat that seriously!
