Is this the kind of judge you want a Republican president to nominate? Why is this acceptable?

I donated to Romney and McCain only because the alternative was marginally worse.

Ted Cruz explained on the “Verdict” podcast that the attorneys are selected by the senators from the named state, and the President is required to select from who the senators choose. Delaware is represented by Democrat senators.

Trump bought them off. What was the judge’s excuse? Sounds all over the place

Many people don't understand the amount of horse-trading that goes into seating an Article III federal judge.

SO, all states with Dem Senators have Dem judges? That’s not what I’ve seen. Besides, sometimes you have to refuse them.

So, all this time Freepers have been unfairly criticizing Bush for judges? Is that what you are saying?

My brother-in-law is a an attorney, went to law school with some people who became major CA Democrat politicians. He has argued and won cases at the CA Supreme Court. He long wanted to be a Judge, so he kept his true politics quiet professionally. Meanwhile he donated to Democrats and attended various democrat events. Unfortunately, his plan did not work. ( he also donated to Republicans, but usually to those in other states or on a more local basis).

Right after you posted, one of the "many people" weighed in.

Here's one of the wrinkles in the process, which involves your post.

If he wanted to be a judge why did he decide to be white?

And your sister probably didn’t do him any favors, either. He needed to be married to a man. But, I hope he ended up happy without being a judge. California was probably a hard state for him to achieve it in.

Its the Senate that actually confirms judges.

There are a whole lot of factors that go into the selection of an Article III federal judge.

They get a grilling by the Senate Judiciary Committee [the Democrats are intensely interested in a nominee's views on administrative law these days, and whether the nominee was or is a member of the Federalist Society].

You can tell things by the confirmation vote.

Dubya's judges leave a lot to be desired, considering many of their confirmation tallies.

Of course, many AT judges [After Trump] have skewed confirmation numbers.
