The solution is to have a Trump appointed judge issue a “ruling” countermanding what the Obama judge did.

Well, we’d have a better chance of that happening if Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell would GET BUSY and fill the NUMEROUS FEDERAL JUDGESHIP VACANCIES.

We have a large number of ACTUAL federal judicial vacancies. IMHO our HIGHEST PRIORITY needs to be FILLING ALL JUDICIAL VACANCIES — EXISTING vacancies.

FOR THIS YEAR I’d like to see the Republican Senate and the President work so, by the end of the calendar year, we’ll be able to count the number of remaining judicial vacancies on one hand.

BOTH the Senate and President Trump need to get cracking to QUICKLY fill the MANY VACANCIES on US federal judgeships. There are over 140 vacancies of which around 70 had nominees pending in the last Congress. But there were around 70 for which Trump had not yet submitted nominees.

And there are other judgeships where near-future vacancies are known. These also need nominations in the pipeline.

I hope President Trump (and Lindsey Graham, the new Judiciary Committee Chairman) give this effort the URGENCY it needs.

TIME TO GET MOVING SENATOR GRAHAM!

Exactly so, and I'm pleased that the priority has been filling appellate positions. That's the first line of defense against judicial overreach.
