His Judicial Committee Hearing needs to be ACCELERATED. Hear that Lindsey?
I am glad to see both POTUS and Mitch keep the judicial ball moving down the court. Good news. Hopefully POTUS nominates another 7th Circuit replacement for the retiring Judge in the next week so we leave with those seats filled.
He should be putting forth nominations for all open positions right now and have Mitch fast track it through the Senate prior to the end of the current session. Nothing is final right now but we don’t want to pull a RBG.
He should lay out his second term agenda !
Great news... Trump is still fighting for us and we are fighting for him!!! #Nosurrender!!
Good picks.
Diversity...Trump believes in it!
Nonsense. Trump believe in good people, even if they're purple.
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
Still, it’s good to get everyone into the mix, esp. on the high courts.
I am sure he has this in mind.
Spread the wealth of these high positions to qualified people of every race and creed.
Agreed.
He must play the game.
