Two more circuit court nominees coming up.

Granite has said he would honor blue slips for district judges, which is why there has been a slowdown. We pretty much have all red state district judges confirmed.

With the House in an insane crazy breakdown, it’s doubly- important that the Senate begin to function.

 This week the Republican-led Senate confirmed 13 new federal judges, bringing Donald Trump’s total to 144.

—99 district judges
—43 circuit judges
—2 Supreme Court justices

An extraordinary pace.

All lifetime appointments, nearly all of them are in their 30s, 40s or 50s.

When the Senate reconvened after its lengthy summer break, it confirmed 6 judges that were supposed to be confirmed in June.
*************************************************
And of those 6, 2 were confirmed by VOICE VOTE (I.e., not a single Democrat objected). When was the last time that happened in this time of Resistance? 2 more were confirmed by votes of 94 - 0 and 90 - 1 respectively. That is certainly not “resistance”. The last 2 had 13 & 18 votes against them; far lower than the standard “No” votes in the high 30s and high 40s.

What those votes tell me is that Schumer rubber stamped these 6.

Lindsay Graham needs to shut the hell up about Syria and get back to work confirming judges.

McComical tries to act like a Trump supporter but I think he is like Paul the Magnificent RINO Ryan.

“Mitch is dragging his feet again.”

really? how do you know that? Exactly how many judicial nominations are before the Senate right now that are having their feet “dragged” by Mitch? or are you just making up bullshit?
