WASHINGTON – Kristine Lucius, executive vice president for policy and government affairs at The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, issued the following statement on the Senate Judiciary Committee’s vote to advance the nomination of Daniel Bress (U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit).

“Bress, a young conservative ideologue, is the third nominee to the Ninth Circuit to advance over the objection of both Ranking Member Feinstein and Senator Harris this year alone. This unravelling of a long-established process is part of Trump’s efforts to reshape the courts and, in particular, to remake the Ninth Circuit, which has correctly ruled against his extreme and dangerous policies on several occasions. Chairman Graham’s decision to force this nomination through in spite of the objections of both home-state senators is the latest example of the breakdown of precedents and traditions that historically protected our courts through senators’ advice and consent. Despite lacking California ties, Bress was advanced by Senate Republicans, which ends yet another Senate norm. The full Senate must reject this troubling nomination.”

They are VERY upset about losing the 9th circuit, their main avenue to introducing their crackpot ideas to American jurisprudence.

I love the taste of liberal tears in the morning.

It tastes like WIN!

I swear these Dem hacks are everywhere - even growing out of cracks in the sidewalk.

Their hackery is rote. Pro forma. Unoriginal. Unimaginative. Always delivered in declarative sentences: 'Person XYZ is unacceptable because DEF and GHI must not be permitted.'

Hillary Clinton's tweets are of this poorly-disguised fascist groupthink. So are Kamala Harris'. No debate permitted.

It won't surprise anyone here that Kristine Lucius is a stringy-haired, homely Dem hack who was Democrat counsel and staff director 2003-2017. Her most recent claim to shame was joining in the ritual attempted career murder of Brett Kavanaugh. And, before that, Neil Gorsuch.

Lily-white Lucius has as much to do with civil rights as I do with shopping at Claire's Accessories. She's recycled DC trash spewing the same idiocy about everyone.

I can’t stop laughing. What Rafael says in his Hissy-Fit release is true. And President Trump IS all about TEARING DOWN THE NORMS of go-along-get-along and making this a better country. I helped elect him specifically to REMAKE THE JUDICIARY.

Then this judge is the perfect choice. Winning! More please.

Boofreakinghoo. A conservative ideologue is one who follows the constitution of the United States. Anything that diverts from that is radicalism. Therefore, liberal justices are the ones who are radical. The 9th circus confirms that.

Elections have consequences. Kristine Lucius sounds like a whiny, annoying skank. I guess that makes her a typical woke lib woman.

Oriental Feinstein and horizontal Harris are against it, its good!

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Sweet, sweet, sweet!

Liberal tears restore my soul.
 

[marajade]

Feinstein and Harris are just two out of 18 U S Senators from states that cover the Ninth Circuit. Too bad.

Love your new names for these two “wokemen”!

Lol so mad.

Senate confirms judge who’s so anti-LGBTQ even Susan Collins voted no

Matthew Kacsmaryk has said trans people have a “mental disorder” and opposes every aspect of LGBTQ equality

https://www.salon.com/2019/06/21/senate-confirms-judge-whos-so-anti-lgbtq-even-susan-collins-voted-no/

The Senate voted to confirm a Trump-appointed federal judge with a long history of anti-LGBTQ statements to a lifetime appointment Wednesday.

The Senate voted to confirm Matthew Kacsmaryk as the new U.S. district judge for the Northern District of Texas by a 52-46 vote. Sen. Susan Collins of Maine was the only Republican to vote against his confirmation.

Collins, who has voted to approve 90 percent of Trump’s judicial nominees, nearly one-third of whom “have records that demonstrate hostility towards the rights of LGBT people,” according to Lambda Legal, said she opposed Kacsmaryk’s nomination because of his “alarming bias against LGBTQ Americans and disregard for Supreme Court precedents.”

Kacsmaryk is a former assistant U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Texas and a member of the far-right Federalist Society. He currently serves as the deputy general counsel at First Liberty Institute, a religious nonprofit, NBC News reported.

Bress, a young conservative ideologue...

Then he sounds like he will judge based on Constitutional law, not whims and feelings. Excellent.

Some blogger actually drew a sketch of Lucius from her C-SPAN appearances.

I don't think this unflattering rendition is going up on the wall in the Lucius house. But points for accuracy.
