Yes, but the goal will never be reached as long as McConnell continues to intentionally drag out the confirmation process as long as he can.

‘The goal is to end the progressive state’

Good.

America was founded on the principle of Liberty.

Not Nanny-Government.

And we will need a Senate majority to reach this goal. The majority controls the Judiciary Committee. A Dem majority will not let a Trump candidate out for a floor vote.

Keep in mind that Collins, McCain and Flake have all voted for Trump’s judges. Even tho they are RINOs, they count towards a majority just as much as true conservatives do. Reforming the Judicial Branch is the single most important domestic policy.

Really? I’d hate to see how few nominees would be confirmed if he was delaying using your definition (whatever that may be).

The name of the group - Center for Constitutional Rights, is an oxymoron of a name, given that it is not fidelity to the Constitution that their agenda embraces. Their agenda embraces a “living” Constitutional written from whole cloth in the minds of a Progressive-Activist judiciary trying to rewrite the Constitution by judicial writ, from the bench.

Delays have been occasioned by Dems not returning blue slips. Trump has also not nominated many to the District Court.

“Trump’s judicial picks: ‘The goal is to end the progressive state’”

The goal is to prevent the progressives from ending our Constitutional Republic.

Right. I’m an “anti-Trump shill”. Call me what ever name makes you feel good. I just want Trump’s judicial picks confirmed.

It’ s my highest priority for his administration.

What’s your’s?

You do realize that by going to a poster’s homepage, you can actually see their posting history, right?

Your continual defense of the swamp creatures obstructing Trumps agenda; the constant bashing of Roy Moore without a shred of evidence... ?

They’re all on display, and speak much louder than your deflections.

“Center for Constitutional Rights” is not merely another Leftard group, it is a true communist “front group” going way back to Soviet days.

You mean that same GOPe that promised to abolish ACA a.k.a. Obamacare for 7 years if we would just give Republicans control of the Senate? So we did, and we gave them a Republican President as well so there would be no veto, and yet it's still there.

You mean that GOPe that has criticized President Trump more in 1 year than they did Obama in 8 years?

You mean that same GOPe that condemned Obama for his illegal act that gave us DACA (Dreamers Act), yet never brought it to any court in the land, and now that President Trump has put the ball in their court they still have not acted?

You mean that same GOPe that welcomed in illegals just as heartily as the Obama Administration did?

You mean that GOPe that defended Roy Moore over 40 year old allegations whose timing was not only suspect, but the claims themselves were as well? Oh that's right they trashed him at the drop of a hat because he defeated their lackey who would do whatever they asked of him. Much like they told Democrats to vote for their man Thad Cochran over the Republican candidate that was challenging him & was projected to beat him in the primaries.

I could go on with more examples of why many here have turned against the GOPe, and see them as more Democrats than Republican & refuse to support them anymore. Your pleas are falling on deaf ears. It is not that we want to put the Republican Party out of power, we just want to replace those who have been in power for way too long. Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. We are tired of their corruption.
