Senate Dems raise alarm on 'captured' federal courts as Trump, Republicans keep judicial confirmations coming

Senate Democrats released a 50-plus page report Wednesday sounding alarm bells over the rate at which Senate Republicans and President Trump have confirmed federal judges during the president's first term as Republicans are working on shepherding along even more lifetime-appointed federal judges.

The account calls GOP-appointed judges "politicians in robes," rails against the Chief Justice John Roberts' Supreme Court, slams the conservative and libertarian lawyers' group the Federalist Society and says Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is "betraying the vision of our founders."

The report was widely promoted by high-profile Senate Democrats on Wednesday, including Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., and several others, as Democrats grapple with the breakneck clip of Trump's and McConnell's judicial confirmation efforts.

"captured" from whom?

The anti-American Dems?

[Da Coyote]

Translation:

We capture it. Good. Stuffed with enept corrupt joke judges.
They capture it. Bad. Damned fools actually studied the Constitution in law school.

[Magnum44]

Dems found time to write a 50 page report on this?

[RatRipper]

"betraying the vision of our founders."

I beg to differ. THAT is what the Commie Rats are doing.

The account calls GOP-appointed judges "politicians in robes,"

How they can say such things with a strait face is mind boggling.

Just curious if they can name the last time that a conservative judge legislated from the bench.

Truth is, it was a coloring book.

The Turtle better hustle and get more nominations over quickly.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

The Dems are sickening.

"betraying the vision of our founders."

That's rich coming from the people who have legislated from the bench for fifty or more years in direct contravention of the Constitution and the founder.

[Paladin2]

Why shouldn’t all of the openings be filled?

[edwinland]

Well with all due respect its not the Kennedys' seat, and its not the Democrats' seat, it's the people's seat.

“The report was widely promoted by high-profile Senate Democrats on Wednesday, including Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I.”

Concern from this clown alone lets you know we’re on the right track.

[headstamp 2]

Entirely OK if they were liberal jurists though.

[gibsonguy]

” rails against the Chief Justice John Roberts’ Supreme Court”

Is Roberts going to come out and say there is no such thing as a “Trump Judge”.

[headstamp 2]

[[[The account calls GOP-appointed judges “politicians in robes,”]]]

LOL. The hypocrite party has spoken.

[OpusatFR]

So capturing the courts with leftists and democrats is ok with them.

What hypocrites.

[max americana]

Yup.

The Dummycraps are pissed that Obamatard didnt do it FASTER than what Mitch is doing to hasten the process. 200 PLUS Trump judges and more in the next 4 years so suck it up
