Sounds like a winner—not. In the mold of Obama’s racist Organizing for America.
WHERE THE HELL WAS THE FILIBUSTER?? These Damned republicrats are finished!! GO TRUMP!!
Good thing we have a Republican Senate...
Didn’t even need to look at the picture.
Yep. It is as it has always been.
Democrats nominate someone, and no matter how radical or liberal, Republicans rubber stamp them in the spirit of maintaining the “process”.
Republicans nominate someone, and if they aren’t liberals, they are delayed, attacked, and not approved.
It is things like this that make me spit on voting Republican now. ARE YOU LISTENING OUT THERE?
No, of course they aren’t.
This is why either Trump or Cruz will win the nomination. Palin’s speech covered this perfectly.
FU Senate.
If Cruz filibustered the clinton donor will denounce it as being nasty
THIS WILL NOT STAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Next thing you know we have judges named Gertrude or Bambi.
It's a slippery slope.
Another melanometric national socialist..
âNOâ ON NOMINATION OF WILHELMINA WRIGHT FOR US DISTRICT COURT FOR MINNESOTA
JANUARY 19, 2016
http://heritageaction.com/key-votes/key-vote-no-on-the-nomination-of-wilhelmina-wright-for-us-district-court-for-minnesota/
On Tuesday, the Senate is scheduled to vote on the nomination of Wilhelmina Wright for the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota.
Wright, who currently serves on Minnesotaâs Supreme Court, has a troubling track record, which includes racially-charged accusations against President Ronald Reagan and statements indicating previous opposition to the constitutional understanding of property rights. Justice Wright once wrote in a law review that:
âWhite people are running and hiding. Their mad scramble is aided by a Chief Justice [Justice Rehnquist] who owned racially restrictive property and a Presidential administration [President Reagan] that believes bigotry, poverty, and poor educational opportunities for most public school students are the unavoidable fruits of a âthrivingâ free market economy.â
And later in the same review, she wrote âthe sanctity of property and the belief in the hierarchy of racesâ undergirds racism in America. According to a recent Daily Signal article, when questioned by the Senate Judiciary Committee about these statements, she qualified them by saying âthe writing was âinartfulâ and made without âall of the training and experience that I have now.ââ The fact that her nomination has been guided through the process by two liberal Democrats, Senators Al Franken (D-MN) 4% and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) 4%, should also raise concerns.
Confirming Justice Wright to a lifetime appointment on the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota is also the wrong response to this Presidentâs recent overreach. Heritage legal expert Hans von Spakovsky explains President Obama âwill go down in history as one of the most lawless of American presidents, someone who â with the help of his political appointees â has ignored, changed, or bent the law and the Constitution on every occasion.â
Last week, the White House chief of staff declared that âWeâll do audacious executive action over the course of the rest of the year, Iâm confident of that.â Given the presidentâs most recent unilateral actions intended to arbitrarily increase immigration and undermine the Second Amendment, senators should take his promise seriously.
This was further explained in a recent Heritage Action memo, calling on Congress to stand up to the president:
âRepeated executive power grabs threaten to undo the system of checks and balances written into our Constitution. The presidentâs actions have not only marginalized the legislature, they have also begun eroding the independence of our nationâs judicial system by stacking the courts with liberal judges who interpret the Constitution to serve this presidentâs radical progressive agenda.
âOur system of government requires each branch to jealously guard its prerogatives, and President Obama routinely tramples over the legislatureâs prerogatives. Senators should not stand by idly for the next 12 months. They must act to reassert their constitutional prerogatives.â
If Senate Republicans band together and block this nomination, it will be a strong first step on a long path towards the Congress reasserting their constitutional prerogatives and defending the rule of law.
Heritage Action opposes the nomination of Wilhelmina Wright and will include it as a key vote on our legislative scorecard.
I wonder how “conservative” Senator Thad Cochran (GOPee,MS) voted?
ARE YOU LISTENING OUT THERE?
They don’t act like it, but don’t dare call them liars.
Sickening.
Our gutless ball-less Republican Senate would approve J. Fred Muggs to a judgeship so long as he wasn’t white.
This stuff is getting evil.
Wilhelmina Wright ... “accused Chief Justice William Rehnquist and President Reagan of aiding ‘white people [who] are running and hiding’ from desegregated public schools. And Wright wrote that ‘the sanctity of property and the belief in the hierarchy of races’ undergird racism in America.”
Oh, great, an Eric Holder/Loretta Lynch wannabe.
No Senators for President. They suck.
Wright was confirmed 58-34.
320 Obama-nominated federal judges have been confirmed. 117 of them were confirmed unanimously, 38 were confirmed by unanimous consent, 63 were confirmed on a voice vote. That’s 218 Obama judges judges who were unchallenged and 102 who were challenged.
6 Obama nominees were rejected via Republican filibusters of their nominations. Obama withdrew all six nominations and in all six instances Obama nominated a different judge who was then confirmed.
