If the GOP expands its Senate majority, judicial nominations should easily sail through.

If the Democrats take over, they will sit on them through 2020.

He needed to do this anyway. Get rid of all the judges that think they can overrule the president’s executive orders.

“If the GOP expands its Senate majority, judicial nominations should easily sail through.”

I’m not sure how that works. Is it even possible to get enough of a majority to overcome the so-called 30 hr rule, where Senators have to debate each candidate for 30 hrs before they can vote, if any other senator insists on it?

I hate to spoil your celebration, but have you looked at the Senate vote totals for most of Trump’s judges?

Most of them are already sailing through.

Almost all of the first 17 Appellate judges that Trump nominated were vigorously opposed by the Democrats.

Since May 2018, just three of the nine Trump Appellate nominees have faced serious Democrat opposition.

The District Court nominees are even more shocking.

Only two out of 41 Trump judges were vigorously opposed by the Democrats.
