Chuck Schumer just confirmed another lifelong federal judge by a vote of 50-49 because Republican Senator Mike Braun did not show up to vote.
This judge will now forever serve on the D.C. court.
Senator Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona is voting with the Republicans to block the nomination, and Kamala Harris is out of town and can't cast the tie-breaking vote. Yet we still can't get Republicans to stand up and fight.
...
Senator Mike Braun knows exactly what he’s doing with his absence.
He’s voting as a Democrat.
...
So why is RINO Braun in the Republican party since his vote by omission is a Democrat vote by commission? This is at least twice now today.
...
The Democrats are trying to stack the Courts with Radical Left Judges on their way out the door. Republican Senators need to Show Up and Hold the Line — No more Judges confirmed before Inauguration Day!
Wt actual F?
Really, really disappointed in Braun on this.
Braun is Deep State’s.
Is this WINNING!?!?
Rs could #### up a ham sandwich!!
We don’t need Rs. We need REAL CONSERVATIVES.
If Trump thinks he has 5 minutes to celebrate or keep his eyes off Rs and expect them the help him on their own, he’s wrong.
Right now, he IS the R party
People go to the swamp to do interviews on TV and take meetings with lobby.
Vote??? Pshhh!!!
Who needs enemies when you have friends like this? I already warned, the establishment GOP is NOT our friend. They are going to do this through his whole term if they do not get together with the Democrats and impeach him first.
Me too.
Allow the plaintiff(s) and the defendant(s) to each rule out up to one-third of the district’s judges.
That means one of one-third to two-thirds of the possible judges could hear a case.
That means moderate judges would get the work.
Judges might also get fees for each motion, etc.
Come 2035 and a $174,000/year base salary might not justify staying around.
He’s busy playing Governor elect in Indiana.
Braun was a reliable conservative prior to this. Really surprised his election as governor is taking precedence right now. Sad.
I read that if Schumer saw that the leftist judge wasn’t going to get confirmed, he would have rescheduled the vote.
Repeal the 17th amendment and this will go a long way to restoring our Republic.
Has anyone asked Braun why he did this or try to find out his reasoning behind his decision?
He was a good senator prior to this.
As a tangent to this story: So Biden authorized use of US missiles on Russian territory, Russia test-launches ICBMs on Ukraine as response - and VP Harris is on a two-week vacation in Hawaii. And No one in the US media or DC establishment cares.
Something is seriously wrong with this country's government
There will be MANY Federal and Appeals court judges confirmed quickly before Trump can take office, or the Republican NEW BLOOD gets into position to stop it.
Braun was considered the second most conservative senator in the entire senate—with a CPAC rating of 98%. As a Hoosier here, he was awesome prior to this.
“Amir Ali will be the first Muslim and Arab American federal judge to serve in D.C.”
or some other “ resistance” operative impeding him
these bureaucratic modern day scribes see themselves as revolutionary , progressive and heroic
