When the Senate is back in session next week, they’ll resume debate and confirm more federal judges put forth by the Trump Administration.

Before the August recess, senators pushed 12 judges through the nomination process and onto seats in federal district courts across the country. Now, 22 more district court judges have been nominated. District courts are the lowest level of United States federal court.

On July 30, prior to the congressional recess, the Senate unanimously agreed to hold confirmation votes for six of the nominees. Those votes will happen when Senate leaders of both parties, Sens. Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer, agree to a time.

As with all of Trump’s nominees so far, the potential judges have a variety of backgrounds. Some have more relevant experiences as judges in different courts, while some potential judges were previously nominated by President Barack Obama.

We need to prioritize filling the courts.

“NPR reports the majority have been white men, and most of the judges appointed are young, with an ability to serve on the courts for decades.”

God forbid. White men.

Even if Trump wins in 2020, as I expect he will, his very successful Federal Judge Confirmation Initiative will end in January 2021 if we do not hold the Senate. It will be back to Rinos and Marxists.

Color me worried.

I don’t care what color they are. Unlike PBS, I’m not a racist.

What I care about is their qualifications and grasp of Constitutional matters.

Absolutely! The Obama judges are killing this country and impeding POTUS Trump at every level. It's still sick to hear once in a while a Clinton or Carter judge fouling things up.

“It will be back to Rinos and Marxists.”

The RINOs have been VERY GOOD on judges...which is surprising, considering how much they hate Trump. The number of times they gave Trump trouble can be counted on one hand (with Kavenaugh being one, but even there, enough RINOs, like Flake and Alexander, and finally Collins, still voted our way).

If we have Trump in the White House in 2021, and even if our Senate majority is again due to RINOs, Trump will do JUST FINE with judges. That has not been a problem for Trump.
