Awesome. Gives the Senate something to do during the government shutdown, too.
Yes, he wont back down. He knows his enemies need to get their asses kicked again and again..
President Trump Performs Miracle! Media Ignore...
i forgot about The Flake.
too bad he went nuts.
hopefully, Sen. McConnell won’t allow such antics now!
And Mitch will just let them do it.
Change the rules.
McConnell was very good action in filling judicial vacancies Obama left. but ask cotton1706. has posted each week last year on judge subject.
“WTF is wrong with the Senate?”
It is composed of a bunch of prima donnas, each with his own agenda. There might be a few who are there out of patriotism and to do The People’s work. But I’d wager they are few and far between.

Trump has gotten 66 judges confirmed this year. In his second year, Obama had gotten 49.
Many are conservative white men in their 40s — and they have lifetime appointments.

It Just Got Even Easier For Republicans To Confirm Trump’s Judges
With a newly strengthened Senate majority, Mitch McConnell can plow ahead with reshaping the nation’s courts.

McConnell just got a bunch of Trump’s judicial nominees confirmed in one week

Politico detailed that McConnell, while serving as majority leader, only let 20 federal judges be confirmed in Obama’s last two years as president. However, McConnell has already, as of this date, confirmed 32 of Trump’s nominations.

So you’re saying that half a loaf is better than no bread at all? Look, given that we are in a fight to the death with the RATs over the fate of our country, “doing a little better” than the last guy did, doesn’t cut it. McConnell is living in a world where the “comity” of the Senate is more important that getting sorely needed judicial appointments confirmed. To me, he’s just an old worthless a$$hole who has stayed far too long in the Senate and should go on the next high tide. Right now, its “for all the marbles” and he doesn’t see it that way.
Yes, God bless DJT.
She defended white men? How horrible!
There are MANY, MANY other judicial vacancies that need to gotten to on an URGENT basis. Lindsey Graham needs to spend less time politicking and traveling overseas to interfere with Trump’s foreign policy and MORE TIME FOCUSING ON JUDICIAL VACANCIES. Your spending time hobnobbing with Turkey’s Islamist leader Erdogan doesn’t advance Judicial confirmations, Lindsey!
The President and the Senate need to FILL QUICKLY ALL FEDERAL JUDICIAL VACANCIES. Renominate those who were still pending at the end of the last Congress and vet, recruite, and nominate new candidates for ALL the remaining vacancies. Act like the future of the Nation and the Republic depend upon it...since they may!
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!
50 senators. You forgot about the abortion sisters.
IMHO, the main problem with the Senate is that they haven't worked a 40 hour week in years.
It is my understanding that when you cut through all the BS, they work 3, maybe 4 days a week. Granted, Senators who come from outside the Wash DC environs need time to travel home and back again.
But, all things considered, they have a very cushy schedule and very pampered lives.
Let’s especially make sure she gets confirmed.
