WASHINGTON — Justin Walker epitomizes the conservative judicial project. He became a federal judge at 37 with no trial experience and sterling right-wing credentials. Eight months later, he has been promoted to the powerful U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, a frequent feeder to the Supreme Court.
Walker’s confirmation Thursday by a Senate vote of 51 to 42 puts President Donald Trump one shy of his 200th judicial confirmation, which is teed up for next week. It’s a number not achieved by any president at this stage in four decades.
A Harvard J.D., Walker’s meteoric rise was aided by his Kentucky ties to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a family friend for whom he once interned, and his outspoken conservatism — just two years ago he called the 2012 Supreme Court ruling to uphold Obamacare “catastrophic.”
“He’s sort of the classic case. They’ve designed their perfect judicial nominee: He’s young, white, male and incredibly conservative with a record of activism to back it up,” said Chris Kang, a co-founder of the progressive group Demand Justice and former deputy counsel to President Barack Obama.

Well, Goursech has been a bust so far....hope the others are better.
He needs to replace 4 on the SCOTUS , possibly 5 but we know that will never happen so I will take 2 to be replaced for this second term.
President Joementia Biden the groping Pedo will probably try to have RBG Cloned.
There are so many bad judges, Trump needs an extra term just to even the score.

Conservative definition of Judicial Activism = A Judge who does not believe in the Constitution as written and makes their Rulings based on Political Ideology and Feelings.
Liberal definition of Judicial Activism = A Judge who bases their decisions on the Law and the Constitution as written.
Bullcrap without more SCOTUS judges.
Not diminishing Trump’s achievement.
So...wise Latina he is not?
Buzzy Ginsburg is def toast next term.
Stephen Breyer is pretty old
the wise latina has full blown diabetes, could go at any time.
We need 6 Supreme Court Justices.
... as reported by racist marxist anarchist soiboi sahil kupar, for the racist marxist anarchist globalist usa-last nbc news!
just setting the record straight lol
Slow slow slow. Using max cloture times and serially, not multiple judges in parallel. My guess at least.
The wide Latina had type 1 diabetes diagnosed early (19?). Blood sugar monitored much better now, avoiding big swings.
You never know about judges!
Trump’s picks haven’t done a lot of good on SCOTUS lately.
Just saying.
“Well, Goursech has been a bust so far....hope the others are better.”
On the other hand these lower courts appear to be more important for a couple reasons...
1. SCOTUS seems to like kicking cases back unless its an easy one.
2. These judges want to get to SCOTUS someday so have to make their bones.
If you go to their website , it is far from unbiased.
This is activism disguised as news from NBC News.
Ditto. Let’s face it, Trump makes bad personnel decisions.
“We need 6 Supreme Court Justices”
9.
Is this a joke?
