Long ago Mitch McConnell vowed to leave no federal judicial vacancy unfilled by the end of Trump’s first term. That promise is close to being kept despite Democrat and media outcry.
Mitch McConnell long ago promised to leave no federal court vacancy unfilled by the end of Trump’s first term. Depending on what happens in the next three weeks, this may be Trump’s only term and McConnell has continued moving judicial nominations through to confirmation.
Needless to say, Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) are not happy, particularly as Republican’s move to fill a vacancy on the First Circuit caused by the death of a judge, and the vacancy on the 7th Circuit caused by Amy Coney Barrett joining the Supreme Court.

Sounds good. We now need to prevent the D’s from stealing the Georgia us senate seats by illegal voting and their latest big push of having D votes cast by people from other states
Good to hear!
If they get away with it nationally, why won’t they do the same in Ga?
Imma vote but I don’t see the point.
You are right. We need to think strategically and not emotionally. It greatly complicates things that the left owns all or most of every institution. We can’t just go home and pout and we can’t do the typical Republican thing and be content to be good losers. If there is a way forward it won’t be easy.
it is selfish of the Dems to object to filling the seat on the 1st Circuit. A small court of only 6 seats, Democratic judges occupy 4 of those seats. Once the new judge is confirmed the Democrats will still have a 4 to 2 dominance of the court. Why object to a second Republican judge in these circumstances?
“Why object to a second Republican judge in these circumstances?”
Because they don’t want ANY Republican inroads in New England.
Too bad!
Well the Democrats just lost total control of the state legislatures (both lower and upper chambers), plus the state executive Council in New Hampshire to the GOP, so they are not exactly doing great in New England are they?
It is probably too late for McConnel to start screening for judges who understand voting rights, and the free and fair elections required by the equal protection clause in the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
That’s exactly what they’ve been trying to keep at bay. Maine’s governor will likely be swept out of office in two years.
Patrick Leahy will likely retire or die.
Etc.
agreed.
i see very little R effort to stop the OPENLY ANNOUNCED AND ENCOURAGED D VOTE FRAUD CAMPAIGN for the Georgia runoffs.
it is as if there were no R campaign effort in this country, excepting for some individuals here and there
Are there any court suits seeking injunctions against the D vote fraud elements that are being touted in the mass media for Georgia? Are there any media campaign efforts to discourage people from participating in these fraudulent activities? Are there any field staff deployed to check and challenge any out of state voters trying to cast Georgia ballots? and so forth and so on
I will be thrilled to read here that these matters are well in hand! it is just that we haven’t heard anything about anyone really doing much is all. thank you
“ Patrick Leahy will likely retire or die.”
Is it wrong for me to hope for the latter?

I prayed for the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Me too.

Too bad we always seem to get the activist judges
Excellent! There is much I disagree with the Turtle about but getting Originalist judges confirmed is a huge bright spot for him.
How many vacancies are left to be filled??
So, technically, these are not “Trump’s Judges”, right?
Mitch did it.
