It’s the game presidents, all president” play when it comes to judicial nominees. They have to put one turd in the punchbowl to appease the other party. Do I like it, no. But it is not uncommon.
Fire the anyone involved in this dreadful pick
The great conservative judges placed in office by Obama are?
When a Democrat nominates a judge, that judge is reliably liberal forever.
But too many Republican-nominated judges drift left as time goes on. It’s very frustrating. If this article is correct, it looks like Taibleson already has a head start on that drift.
Soooo... nothing substantive, just two political donations, as if every corporation and every large donor in American doesn’t give to both sides. Quit whining and clutching your pearls, and find an ACTUAL reason to oppose a nominee. Otherwise, you’re just blathering over nothing. The President will choose whom he sees fit. Not you.
It’s the game presidents, all president” play “
Oh really, do you think Obongo or Biden appointed a single Conservative ? No.
Taibleson has supported groups that promote transgender ideology and was married by a rabbi known for the same.”
Substantial enough?
He’s been compromised. Ever since Butler.
What do her judicial rulings indicate? What is her approach to interpreting the law (original intent, evolving through precedent, the law is whatever the judge wants, etc.)?
Blaze? Isn’t it owned by someone who immersed his face in a ball of cheese balls to mock Trump?
Not really anymore given that the Dems vote against all of them anyway. And especially not for Circuit Court judges.
That being said, I've read a bunch of stuff about her that is very positive, so I don't know if the criticisms in this article are fair or not. Apparently, the flash point may be that her husband is the Democrat in the family.
Excellent point...
No wimmin aloud in the courts.
The Wikipedia page indicates he’s a smart guy.
Nine not voting to confirm, all Republicans [Cruz, Rubio, Graham, Murkowski,...]
AMEN!
My count of the Ds and I indicates Republicans controlled the Senate.
