Senate Republicans Are Blocking Trump Appointments

| November 16, 2018 | Phil Kerpen
President Trump has hundreds of unfilled presidentially-appointed positions because Democrats have stalled the nominations process out as much as their diminished power in the post-nuclear Senate has allowed. But
it is the Republican majority that has placed a total blockade on the usual safety valve for temporary appointments - the recess appointment power - by refusing to go on recess for the last two years. And with Democrats set to take the House and be in position to deny the Senate consent to recess starting January 3, there is a real possibility that President Trump will go an entire presidential...

Diplomatic Reception Room 3:45 P.M. EDTTHE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much, my fellow Americans. Apart from matters of war and peace, the nomination of a Supreme Court justice is the most important decision an American President can make. For
this reason, candidates for President owe the American people a specific list of the individuals they consider for the United States Supreme Court.Four years ago, I announced my first list of highly qualified candidates and promised to fill Justice Scalia’s vacant seat from among — from among those names.Just days after my inauguration, I kept that promise when I nominated...

| 11/6/2024 | Alex Swoyer
The next president will appoint more than 100 federal judges to the bench, providing an opportunity to mold the federal judiciary towards his or her liking. As
of Election Day, there were six vacancies on the high-profile federal circuit courts, and 61 district court vacancies waiting to be filled. According to recent history, a new president on average has between 200 and 250 Article III judicial appointments during the course of four years in office. During his first administration, former President Donald Trump appointed three Supreme Court justices, 54 circuit court judges and 174 district court jurists. The impact of...

Trump Victorious With Judicial Appointments, Thanks to Congress

| 24 Nov 2017 | Wanda Carruthers
While President Donald Trump has voiced frustration with Congress in passing legislation that grabs headlines, like tax reform or changes to Obamacare, there's one arena that the president has emerged victorious — more so than any president in 45 years. Trump's
success in appointments to the federal judiciary will have a longer-lasting impact, and, as far as obstruction by Democrats, "there's nothing they can do about it," CNBC reported Friday. "This Thanksgiving weekend the most grateful person in America should be President Trump. An unlikely set of benefactors has truly given him the political gift that will keep on giving,"...

President Trump is closing the year by increasing his already transformative impact on the federal judiciary, with 13 of his district court nominees receiving confirmation this month. That
brings Trump’s total to 102 federal judges confirmed in 2019. Over the course of his administration, that total jumps to 187, including 50 to circuit courts of appeal and two Supreme Court justices. "In terms of quality and quantity, we are going to be just about No. 1 by the time we finish -- No. 1 of any president, any administration," Trump said in early November, noting that George Washington may have...

Sitting atop the Frazier History Museum in downtown Louisville on Monday morning was the who's who of Kentucky's legal community, all gathered to witness the investiture of John Kenneth Bush, President Donald Trump's latest appointee to the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Overlooking the banks of the Ohio River, 6h Circuit
Chief Judge R. Guy Cole, Jr. pointed out that the limited number of cases taken by the Supreme Court each year makes appointments to the circuit court -- the level just below the high court -- among the most important any president makes. On that score, President Trump...

Joe Scarborough Goes Full-Tilt Liberal, Rips Trump Judicial Appointments

| Mark Finkelstein
From today forward, Joe Scarborough should never call himself a conservative again. If
there is one thing that unites all conservatives, including critics of President Trump, it's praise for his excellent judicial appointments. But on today's Morning Joe, Scarborough actually criticized President Trump's judicial nominees. If there were any doubt, that ensconces Scarborough firmly in the liberal camp. Scarborough did so in the context of saying that Marianne Williamson struck the right tone last night's Dem debate, because people aren't interested in hearing the details of Bernie's healthcare plan. Instead, claimed Scarborough: "Americans want to hear about how Donald Trump...

Gov. Rick Scott is moving to remove Florida Supreme Court Justice Barbara Pariente from a legal challenge to his judicial appointment power... The motion also refers to statements made by Pariente while campaigning for retention... “A vote ‘yes’ will be a vote to retain me and the other two justices … A
vote ‘no’ will give Gov. Scott the right to make his appointments, which will result in partisan political appointments.” “Gov. Scott strongly believes that all Floridians deserve judges that are impartial, fair and non-partisan...” “Justice Pariente’s past remarks cast grave doubt on her ability to take an objective...”...

Democrats Set the Rules on Blocking Judicial Nominations

| February 15, 2016 | Debra Heine
With the untimely death of Antonin Scalia Saturday, President Barack Obama has been handed the opportunity of a lifetime to tilt the Supreme Court to the left for decades to come. It's
also given Democrats an issue to demagogue from now until election day and beyond. About an hour after Scalia's death was confirmed, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell "threw down the gauntlet," announcing that the Senate would not be confirming a replacement for him until after the 2016 election, a move Politico called, "an historic rebuke of President Obama's authority and an extraordinary challenge to the practice of...

Kamala Harris Just Proved That Impeachment Is About Blocking Trump’s Judicial Nominees

| January 16, 2020 | Matt Margolis
With a Republican majority in the U.S. Senate, Donald Trump has been remaking the judiciary with record speed. Approximately
25 percent of circuit court judges are Trump appointees, and Democrats just can't stand that. It seems that throughout Trump's presidency they've come up with various unconstitutional schemes to thwart Trump's ability to make his mark on the judicial branch of our federal government. ~snip~ Now that the Democrats' partisan impeachment has reached the Senate, failed 2020 presidential candidate and U.S. Senator Kamala Harris is making a similar argument to put the brakes on Trump's making the judiciary great again. “Today,...

The Right Should Be Relieved SCOTUS Rejected Judicial Activism In Texas v. Pennsylvania: Conservatives must rediscover their opposition to judicial overreach
|

The Federalist ^
| 12/15/2020 | Adam Carrington, Hillsdale College
The Warren Court holds a special place of derision within the conservative imagination. The
term refers to the 1953-1969 timeframe when Chief Justice Earl Warren held sway over the U.S. Supreme Court. The right has understood this court as inaugurating and modeling the modern iteration of “judicial activism.”Conservative critics of the Warren Court period hold that, through a series of heavy-handed interventions, it undermined essential elements of American government, including the rule of law, popular sovereignty, and federalism. The right’s evolution toward working-class populism should only increase antipathy toward the Warren Court and its rule by elitist judicial fiat.This makes...

Transgender judicial candidate Jill Rose Quinn declares victory in her Cook County judicial candidate primary bid. She could be Illinois’ first transgender elected official.

For years, Chicago attorney Jill Rose Quinn has wanted to be a judge. But
for the longest time, Quinn said, she didn’t think she could land a seat on the bench. “I didn’t think the people would accept a transgender judge,” Quinn told the Tribune. But on Tuesday night, with most precincts reporting, Quinn declared victory after taking a large lead in her bid to become the Democratic nominee for a Cook County judicial vacancy. If she holds on, that likely would make her the fourth openly transgender judge across the country and the first transgender candidate in Illinois voted...

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered an address to the nation this evening (Thursday) on the government's planned judicial reforms. The
address follows Netanyahu's meeting with Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, who called for the judicial reform bills to be frozen until the next Knesset session. "Citizens of Israel, a few months ago, as soon as the election results were announced, I said, 'I intend to be prime minister of all citizens of Israel," I meant it then and I mean it today." Netanyahu said at the beginning of his speech. "We have one country and we must do everything to protect...

The mainstream media is either stupid or relentlessly beating a dead horse – their Marxist agenda. Reading
the Economist and the comments of the Editor-in-chief, it is hard to fathom how ignorant this article really comes off, as do many others criticizing Trump for this flurry of appointments. I have said that The DEEP STATE is trembling because Trump now knows their game. Last time, they stuffed his cabinet with people like John Bolton and all other Deep State’s Neocons. Bolton wanted to start World War III because an unmanned drone was shot down. He has no regard for human...
