he Senate Judiciary Committee approved six of President Trump’s judicial nominees on Thursday, adding to more than two dozen federal bench picks who were already awaiting confirmation votes by the full Senate.

John B. Nalbandian, nominated for the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, was voted out of committee on straight party lines, with every Democrat opposing him. But two picks for the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Michael Y. Scudder and Amy J. St. Eve, had unanimous support.

During his confirmation hearing, Mr. Nalbandian said the Supreme Court correctly decided to legalize interracial marriage and desegregate schools, but refused to say if he approved of the ruling that legalized abortion, which drew criticism from Democrats on the committee.

Liberal pressure groups also complained that he defended requiring voters to show photo ID at the polls.

“Mr. Nalbandian has a highly partisan and ideological background,” said Vanita Gupta, president of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights.

The district court picks, who were cleared out of committee on Thursday, enjoyed bipartisan support. Those include:

How many potential infringers of the right to keep and bear arms in this batch, I wonder? Last one was a doozie.

Democrats are obstructing good (hopefully great) people wanting to give up a big portion of their life to work for our Government, hence, the American People. They are “slow walking” all of my nominations - hundreds of people. At this rate it would take 9 years for all approvals!

...Hopefully the Senate will not leave Washington until our Ambassadors, Judges and the people who make Washington work are approved. The Democrats are Obstructing the process and we need these people approved for the good of our Country!

Why is he blaming solely the Democrats?

No they won’t. If this is ALL that McConnell does for the rest of Trump’s 6 1/2 years, I will be happy as heck. I could care less about anything else. Judges are paramount for the future of our country. Look at all the stuff the judges stop. It will be fun to see it happen to the Democratic President if we are ever unfortunate to have one again. Today, about 4 judges ruled against Trump in various court decisions. FOUR.
