Rats seem to descended to gutter tactics. Stalled 7 weeks on Graham’s asylum bill in Judiciary Committee. They blockaded everything out of committee?

What happened to the other 6? I thought 19 were to be approved this past week?

OK. Got some district court judges through. Need to push through more of those - waive blue slips for district court nominees too.

Also, there are 5 outstanding Circuit Court seats to be filled. Ram those through ASAP.

43 circuit judges? Wow!

[gcparent]

How many did Obama confirm?

[Pride in the USA]

MAGA! And PrResident Trump is doing just that.

This is also a good comparison

But later headline “California district judge rules all the other judges this week did not have legal confirmation.” (kidding)

“This will be a weekly post.”

How many WH nominees for ckt court have been stockpiled until this recess. Need to see ckt nominees ASAP so senate staff can start vetting in August.

First up is 5th (dump Ozerden), 9th (Oregon vacancy), and the two from the 2nd. Two 9th said they are leaving active and one more is close to 80 yr old. Three age 80 in 7th, one in 11th, and one in 8th.

So 12 nominees needed by September. Ckt vacancies should be prioritized for balance of 2019 IMO.
