Trump continues to flip Manhattan federal courts conservative

President Trump may get the chance to turn the federal courts in Manhattan conservative.

Last week, he added two more judges to the 13-judge US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit — making the balance seven liberals to six conservatives.

Soon, he will get to add two more.

Circuit Judges Christopher Droney and Dennis Jacobs have announced they would be retiring in June, thus allowing Trump — who has vowed to nominate only conservative judges — to add two more of his own picks to the court.

The Manhattan appeals court took the first step toward a conservative takeover this week, when the Senate confirmed Joseph Bianco and Michael Park as new members.

Bianco, a Queens native who was a federal judge in a lower court in Brooklyn, was confirmed 54-42 last week with some Democratic support.

Park — a lawyer who has supported the Trump administration effort to put citizenship questions on the Census — was confirmed last Thursday 52-41.

He got strong opposition from both New York senators, Democrats Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, who called him an “extreme right-wing” pick.

Control of the Manhattan court will blunt the far left loons running the prosecutorial offices there.

God bless and keep President Trump.

I wish our concern could be filling the courts with judges who would interpret the law appropriately, not trying to get our “conservative” guys confirmed in an attempt to offset the insane Leftist judicial tyrants put in place by both Obama and W. Bush.

Unfortunately it seems to be too late for the USA to have a system of government where the legislative branch makes the laws and the judicial branch interprets the laws all guided by the Constitution as opposed to ideology.

He should do what Clinton did and fire all 93 US Attorneys like Bill Clinton did back in 1993.

The press is already ballistic, if not now, do it in 2020!

There might be a few good ones by now, but fire the rest!

A proper judge or jurist should completely put their own opinion or agendas aside and judge a case of any kind based only on the evidence, the law and the constitution.

Conservatives have a greater chance of being able to do this because we believe in the rule of law and the constitution.

Well, most of us do anyway.

Increasingly democrat judges and jurists have proven themselves incapable of this. All they care about is their agenda being pushed forward, damn the constitution and the law. It is really sad.

Hopefully Trump will have this mess fixed by 2024.

Both Joseph F. Bianco and Michael H. Park are Federalist Society members. :-)
