#10. He is on the FISA Court (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review). Maybe he will turn on the other judges if he feels that they also betrayed their trust.

“Isn’t the 2nd one of the courts Trump flipped to a majority republican appointed?”

I know this is hard for Republican PURISTS to understand, but courts DO NOT FLIP THEMSELVES (to our side). They get flipped by electing a Republican President, and REPUBLICAN SENATORS, and yes that includes the Dreaded RINOs, as RINOs still NEARLY ALWAYS vote to confirm Trump’s picks...a few exceptions yes, but the Second Circuit, the Supreme Court and most of the remaining courts would now be LEFTIST if not for the RINOs in the Senate.

...please think about that when deciding to vote in the November election, we do nothing but ENABLE DEMOCRATS when sitting out elections because so-and-so Senator is a RINO, GOPe, or simply hates Trump - because they STILL vote for his judges, almost always - and far, far, more than Democrat judges do.

“When the quest for diversity supersedes the mandate of competence you get, obama judges.”

More like “when Republicans sit out elections, you get Obama judges”. We only have Trump judges because enough conservatives held their noses and voted for RINOs to give Trump a majority in the Senate. The other Republicans, the Purists, I guess don’t mind Obama judges.

Who filed the appeal? Seems odd to file something in your defense to only get an outcome that is worse than if you left it alone.

The Government appealed.
