I don’t like when I start hearing “bipartisan” as it usually means the RINOs are in charge and cave to the Dems.

Why now? Why not wait a month and a half? Because they want to look like they are “doing something” even though they know it will not pass? They truly think we are stupid...

Does it include some deal where Trump must appoint liberals or some other “blue slip” method?

backlog of cases because of the J6 cases most likely.

But I am for this since Trump will appoint them all.

We do need more judges... Judges who will respect the law, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Judges who will stand up for America and knock the shit out of the Marxists currently on our benches.
