Senate Republicans lined up votes on 19 of President Trump’s judicial nominees for next week, moving to arrange one final burst of activity before leaving town for summer vacation.
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell made the move Thursday, arranging votes to head off filibusters and then to confirm each of the picks. The number is possible because he led Republicans in triggering the nuclear option and changing chamber rules earlier this year, cutting the maximum debate time allowed on each district judge from 30 hours to just two hours.

MAGA!
Yay ... I’ve been hoping for a week such as this. There’s not a reason why there can’t be more weeks such as this to bring down the number of Judicial vacancies.
Excellent!
Got to give “turtle” credit on judges, but there is so much more he could be doing! just saying
Agree - doing OK on judges. We’re seeing some of the Trump judges’ impact already.
Can you imagine what the libs will do if the 9th Circuit flipped conservative?

Got it now, or do you still need that quick-step escort to the parking lot with your last check?”
Wrong Post...Sorry.
I was responding to that story about Le Batard with ESPN.
No problem, FRiend. :^)
LOL!
Lol! I haven’t seen that one in a long time.
Back when I bought newspapers out of a machine.
“Got to give “turtle” credit on judges, but there is so much more he could be doing! just saying”
If this is all that McConnell does, I will consider it a win. We are already seeing the benefits of this in the 9th circus.
It’s about time. There are CURRENTLY 126 Federal Judicial vacancies. But when Trump took office there were 112 vacancies. So next week (after the 19 confirmations) will be the FIRST TIME the Republicans have actually begun to reduce the backlog.
In the following story...
... is the following:
“...According to a senior Democratic aide, five of the 19 judicial pics on the list came from Democratic senators. McConnell filing cloture to break potential filibusters of the nominees is an indication there has not yet been a deal on a bipartisan nominations package to expedite the work of confirming the judges....”
I hope the Senate is not allowing more “I’m enjoining the President” DemocRAT agendanista Judges to be snuck in.
Like you, I hope so too.
We certainly don’t want another now deceased commie Steve Reinhardt of the ninth circus to be appointed, especially in the Trump administration.
“earlier this year, cutting the maximum debate time allowed on each district judge from 30 hours to just two hours.”
and eliminating individual Dem Senators from vetoing judges with so-called “blue slipping” ...
“but there is so much more he could be doing!”
like what? passing lots of legislation just so it can be ignored by the House?
apparently you consider the 130 total federal judges Trump has appointed after these 19 have been confirmed is just chopped liver ...

I guess you’re a “satisfied with gentleman’s C’s” type of person. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with wanting us to do the best we can. Why settle for mediocrity?
