Senate confirms 150th Trump judicial nominee

The U.S. Senate confirmed President Trump’s 150th judicial nominee Wednesday, helping to fulfill the president’s campaign promise to remake the federal bench with a conservative bent.

Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham called the number of confirmations a “historic milestone.”

“These conservative judicial appointments will impact our nation for years to come,” the South Carolina Republican said.

Six district court nominees won confirmation Wednesday, bringing the president’s total number of appointed judges to the lower federal courts to 105. Mr. Trump has also appointed 43 circuit court nominees and two Supreme Court justices since taking office.

The pace has far outdone President Obama, who only saw 20 circuit court nominees and 74 district court judges confirmed during the same period of time. Mr. Obama, though, like Mr. Trump had two Supreme Court appointments within his first three years.

Five more years of this and we’ll be getting somewhere.

But even before him, we can thank Harry Reid, who got the whole 60 vote filibuster thing out of the way.

Of course, he never saw REPUBLICANS using it. That WAS Mitch...

But the best thing about this is,

Big Media has slept through all of it. They’ve been so obsessively focussed 24-7 on Russian influence and Jerrold Fatboy’s investigations, then - after those flamed out - the fake racism, that they never noticed the fundamental changes taking place in the justice system under their very noses

They want to argue about window dressings while Trump is rebuilding the foundations of the government ... typical

[... could you imagine the damage that freak could have done if he had ambition?”

Obama had tons of ambition and a maniacal hubris to match. He was lazy, but he farmed out his tasks to a legion of socialists and traitors within the swamp that ran with every lunatic thought they could imagine and jammed it down our throats.

Obama’s damage is lasting, despite Trump’s best efforts.

Luckily for us, Trump’s ambition leads him to undo the nonsense that has been in place for far too long.

We could not do better than Trump. Period!

Credit where credit is due. Rallying conservative justice confirmations seems to be Mitch’s purpose.
