I am at a loss as to how Trump is being “stonewalled.”
He has gotten 21 Circuit Court judges confirmed in less than a year and a half—not just a record, but an astounding record.
Obama had a handful; JFK (who previously held the record) had 14.
Three more will be confirmed next week. Jimmy Carter had the FIRST TERM record of 56, so Trump is just shy of Carter’s pace with a full six months to go. This wee we will take full conservative control of the (I think) 3rd or 5th district.
Trump had a fast confirmation of Gorsuch, and can expect two more nominees when Buzzi croaks and Kennedy retires. Maybe more.
ALREADY Trump has named a whopping 23% of the federal bench.
Please tell me how this is “stonewalling.”
I think it’s the district court judges that had been languishing, at least till this week. They’d been concentrating on the circuit courts. And the 30 hours for cloture has been a real thing.
We have an attorney in our firm nominated for the local district court. Been languishing since January when reported out of committee. Stonewalling is the only explanation why not confirmed yet.

He’s also “named” the border wall. Support for Trump’s nominees (both judicial and non-judicial) in the Senate is slow. To say otherwise is to defend Senators who are far from deserving of our defense. The “hard-working” Senate is not at work and won’t reconvene until June 4th with the next vote not scheduled until 5:30 pm on that day.
McConnell will never be accused of being a slave driver.
