I have practiced law for 8 years, focusing on constitutional law and government policy, so I am absolutely convinced of the importance of the judiciary. The work President Trump has done to reshape the federal judiciary with pro-Constitution judges for years to come is nothing short of a miracle. But this miracle would not be possible without a Republican majority in the Senate and our own Senator Cory Gardner.
Since President Trump took office, the Republican majority in the Senate has confirmed: 2 Supreme Court Justices (including Colorados Justice Neil Gorsuch); 43 circuit judges (including Colorados Allison Eid); 99 district judges (including Colorados Daniel Domenico). Thats more than 140 judges with life tenure whose conservative jurisprudence will shape the American judiciary for decades, well into the lives of my children and grandchildren.
For perspective, in 8 years, President Obama confirmed 2 Supreme Court Justices, 49 circuit judges, and 268 district court judges. President Bush confirmed 2 Supreme Court Justices, 61 circuit judges, and 261 district court judges. President Clinton confirmed 2 Supreme Court Justices, 62 circuit judges, and 305 district court judges.
Not even 2.5 years in, President Trump has confirmed the same number of Supreme Court Justices, nearly 90% of the circuit court judges, and more than 1/3 of the district court judges that President Obama confirmed in his full 8 years. A presidents ability to influence our nations jurisprudence through selecting the right judges is powerful.
We owe a debt of gratitude to the Republican majority in the Senate and our own Senator Cory Gardner for fighting for these pro-Constitution judges. We elected Senator Gardner in 2014 because we knew he would stand up for our constitutional principles. That is exactly what he has done. Without Senator Gardner and a Republican majority in the Senate, the Democrats would...

My vote for Gardner is already in, as he’s Republican and the Democrats (obviously) don’t offer anything better, but I posted this article to highlight Trump’s performance in appointing judges as opposed to Obama, Bush, and Clinton.
She will be a force to be reckoned with for decades to come.
I look forward to seeing here again at our State Central Committee meeting this weekend.
Gardner better get off his ass and start making his presence know if he wants to avoid getting crushed by Lickenpooper.
Trump needs to campaign in CO for him.
Wait until buzzy drops dead or retires
in that shit storm , The kavanaugh one will be all but forgotten
bump
Gardner has already hacked me off more than once. I’m hoping for a primary challenger.
Gardner is one that needs to be replaced.
Not as badly as Flimsey Grahamnesty.
After Buzzi, Amy Coney Barret. Heh, heh.
agreed
His most likely replacement is Hickenlooper, the Democrat, who will be much worse.
There are no credible primary challengers available on the Republican side. The Colorado GOP seems to be content to fade away into irrelevance. We are following the California path to one-party Democrat rule.
I don't like Gardner. I will still vote for him. These kinds of choices stink.
Speaking of replaced, do you know what happened with the Polis recall effort?
