Another new Judge from POTUS coming up.
Well, since we had an openly fag judge, it is time to appoint an openly straight one.
Is it bad that my first thought was, “Great, one more empty seat to be filled with a Trump appointee.”?
Patriotcide!

The nascent years of affirmative action. It’s time for AA to die off as well as the recipients who’ve enjoyed their black privilege for 50 years.
Did it happen in a belfry?
Buh-bye.
She died from contaminated seafood.
Unfortunately, Batts wasn’t an active judge, so President Trump won’t get to name her replacement. She took senior status in 2012, and presumably Obama appointed her replacement years ago.
