No Judges Confirmed This Week

Posted on 10/21/2017 4:42:10 AM PDT by cotton1706

This will be a weekly post.

There were hearings on Tuesday for several judges. But none confirmed by the Senate.

Trump is sending the Senate conservatives ONLY, so they are being slow-walked to prevent conservative jurisprudence.

But if some moderate had been nominated (recommended by a democrat or moderate republican), you can be sure that nominee would be pushed to the top of the list, and quickly confirmed!


TOPICS: Constitution/Conservatism; Politics/Elections

EXEMPT McConnell took a knee against America and Pres. Trump,
and the Americans who chose the President.

Yes, and what is a moderate but last weeks leftist. The political spectrum has been dragged to the left’s gutter. The actual left is anarchy, no military, no LEOs, no borders, just gang and mob rule.

Of course Ms. Duckworth is the only one to object to some nominations. No surprise. She is awful. The Senate is a terrible group of people....all of them. If I were Trump, I would just nominate judiciary and screw the rest of the departments. I say we have been without those positions this long, let’s disestablish them.

This (weekly posting) is a GREAT idea. Being reminded of what snakes McConnell & his leadership team are will help keep the fire in our bellies going.

I don’t have a ping list, and don’t know how to create one. But I usually post my articles under the Elections tab.

Committee Members
Chairman
Senator Chuck Grassley (R - IA)

Orrin G. Hatch, Lindsey Graham, John Cornyn, Michael S. Lee Ted Cruz, Ben Sasse, Jeff Flake, Mike Crapo, Thom Tillis, John Kennedy.

A mixed bag. Hatch, Graham, Cornyn, Sasse, Flake, and Tillis are losers.

I have a question that might be a little off topic but related to this. I have been reading that quite a few people are disgusted with the lack of action by Jeff Sessions. Is there anybody besides myself who is thinking Sessions may be waiting for, at least, the majority of President Trump’s list of judges to be confirmed before he goes after a lot of these criminal swamp creatures?

That and the fact that any decent LEO would never discuss a case under investigation.
(People are too influence by TV shows and not familiar enough with reality )

WASHINGTON, DC 10/20/2017 At Friday’s White House press briefing,
Press Secretary Sarah Sanders urged the U.S. Senate
to do their jobs and confirm nominees
following news that Sen. John Cornyn is obstructing a confirmation.
The imbecilic Republican establishment
