Moderate Senate Democrats were silent this week when Fox News Digital asked for a comment on President Biden's decision to appoint climate czar John Kerry's replacement without Senate confirmation. **SNIP** While Kerry will step down as special presidential envoy for climate (SPEC), Biden will not nominate a direct replacement, and Kerry's staff will report to another State Department official while Podesta coordinates policy with the SPEC office from the White House. The arrangement allows Podesta to sidestep a congressionally mandated Senate confirmation since the SPEC role will technically be left vacant. "Upon Secretary Kerry’s departure, the existing SPEC state team...

President Biden’s "historic" nominee for a federal appellate court served on the board of a Muslim advocacy group that has blamed Israel for provoking Hamas’s terrorist attack and hosted an event with a convicted terrorist fundraiser on the 20th anniversary of 9/11. Adeel Abdullah Mangi, Biden’s nominee for the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, served on the advisory board of Rutgers Law School’s Center for Security, Race and Rights from 2019 until earlier this year. During his time on the board, the think tank feted anti-Israel college students and marked the anniversary of the September 11 attacks with an event...

The Bar Mitzvah ceremony takes place individually, around the time the Jewish boy celebrates his 13'Th Birthday. Christian Confirmation takes place in groups, annually, in a High Mass

During an interview aired on Friday’s edition of PBS’ “Firing Line,” Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) said he is part of the problem of Supreme Court confirmations becoming more partisan, the information he has seen “strongly suggests” Justice Clarence Thomas should recuse himself from cases related to January 6, and that Thomas’ case is different from other spousal conflicts because it “goes so centrally to the heart of democracy.”

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) claimed that more Senate Republicans would have voted to confirm Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court than did if her sentencing history had not been brought to light. Cruz, speaking on the most recent episode of his Verdict podcast, said that besides the three Republican senators — Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), and Mitt Romney (R-UT) — who voted for Jackson, more would have voted for her if her sentencing history was not exposed.

On Friday evening, Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE), a member of the judiciary committee, released a statement explaining his decision to vote against the nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the US Supreme Court. Sasse engaged in several rounds of amiable and substantive exchanges with Jackson during her confirmation hearings, earning applause from observers who pronounced themselves aghast by the supposedly outrageous treatment of the nominee by other Republicans on the panel. The Nebraskan concluded that while Judge Jackson is sharp and qualified, he could not assent to her confirmation -- due to her record, ideology, and deflections on questions...

Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., announced Friday he plans to vote to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, praising her "exemplary" record and career and labeling her "supremely qualified" to be a justice. The centrist Democrat's support gives Jackson's nomination a major boost after four days of contentious hearings, all but assuring her historic confirmation to be the first Black woman on the high court, as long as the rest of the Democratic caucus stays on board. "After meeting with her, considering her record, and closely monitoring her testimony and questioning before the Senate Judiciary Committee this week,...

Some on the right were concerned when Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell indicated a potential willingness to support the confirmation of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court. Republicans indeed have shown more openness to support the nominees of Democrat presidents compared to vice versa, and given that Jackson’s confirmation wouldn’t change the balance of the court, it seemed possible that McConnell might ultimately join with Democrats and support her confirmation.But, Jackson has squandered that goodwill with her evasive answers during her confirmation hearings, and McConnell has since expressed concern that Jackson has been “evasive and unclear.”“She’s declined to...

Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson fully disqualified herself from serving on the Supreme Court with one single, yet glaring claim she made during her hearing, radio host Dan Bongino said Wednesday. On "The Dan Bongino Show", Bongino said that in terms of this claim, the Biden-nominated jurist is either "ignorant or a liar." According to Bongino, Jackson disqualified herself when she claimed not to be able to define what a woman is. During Tuesday's confirmation hearing, Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., cited a decision from another liberal justice, the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who wrote in U.S. v. Virginia that...

The confirmation hearing for Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson began on Capitol Hill on Monday. The prior reactions in the mainstream media were what you’d expect. Namely, endless, slobbering profiles and claims that any questioning of the judge’s record would be racist and out of bounds.When the time came, Sen. Dick Durbin opened the hearing by pleading with Republicans for “civility.”“These baseless charges are unfair,” Durbin says of GOP charges that Judge Jackson is “soft on crime.” He adds Hawley accusations on her approach to sex offenders “fly in the face” of GOP vows to keep the proceedings civil....

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) fumed over progressive criticism of J. Michelle Childs, a district court nominee who was also a Supreme Court contender, and accused Democrats of holding a double standard against GOP nominees. Graham’s remarks, which came near the start of the four-day hearing for President Biden's actual nominee for the court — Ketanji Brown Jackson — are the most extensive comments Graham has given on Jackson’s nomination since his meeting with Jackson last week. After that meeting, which lasted roughly 15 minutes, Graham went radio silent on his thinking about Jackson

This page provides documents the pace of appointments in the current presidential transition and by comparison with predecessors in the modern appointments era (beginning with the Reagan presidency).[warning, this site proves McConnell is totally useless for Republican voters- wildcard_redneck]

WASHINGTON—President Biden has nominated agency heads and leadership throughout the federal government at a faster clip than his recent predecessors. But a large portion of the president’s choices await Senate confirmation.... But while Mr. Biden’s cabinet nominees were confirmed relatively quickly, he trails those three in overall Senate confirmations at this point of his presidency, clearing 53 of his nominees so far..... Through the end of May of their first year in office, Mr. Clinton had 151 confirmations, Mr. Obama had secured 145 and Mr. Bush had 126, according to Center for Presidential Transition data. Through the same time frame,...

The behavior of the Democrats in regard to the appointment of federal judges, especially Supreme Court justices has been abysmal for decades, starting with Robert Bork and finishing with Justice Amy Coney Barrett. It has been so bad for so many years that the Republicans finally learned to fight back during the attacks on Brett Kavanaugh during his hearing and stood their ground with Amy Coney Barrett despite the Democrats throwing a tantrum and leveling all kinds of attacks at them. Now, with a supreme lack of self-awareness, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), the ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee,...

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas will administer the official constitutional oath to Judge Amy Coney Barrett on Monday night if she is confirmed by the Senate, a senior White House official told Fox News. Thomas has long been considered one of the more conservative justices on the Court, along with Barrett's mentor, the late Justice Antonin Scalia. The would-be celebration of her confirmation won't be a large affair, President Trump said, noting that it will be "just a very nice event."

It’s more of a curiosity than a problem, but Lisa Murkowski apparently didn’t get moved off her position on confirmation despite meeting personally with Amy Coney Barrett. At the time that Donald Trump appointed her to replace the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Murkowski threw the process in doubt by announcing her opposition to moving forward on the opening regardless of the nominee. Since then, Murkowski has been careful to parse her statements on Barrett’s specific confirmation.Until today … perhaps: The Alaska lawmaker, who met with the conservative nominee earlier this week, would join the likes of Senator Susan Collins...

Here’s a look at what will likely happen in the coming week: McConnell has said he would put the nomination on the floor of the Senate on Friday. McConnell cannot put the nomination forth on the same day it comes out of committee via Senate rules. When he does put it to the Senate as a whole, he must move the Senate into executive session, meaning that the senators take up that issue alone. After the nomination is read, McConnell could file cloture – or a measure to end any debate on the nomination – then a day must go...

"...Democrats have a very good chance of winning the WH..." "Thank you for acknowledging that" Red rage blocked out the rest

I was watching Booker trying to ask 'gotcha' questions to Amy Coney Barret in her Confirmation hearing, and the one that stood out was about if she felt empathy for the victims of systemic bias in the justice system, referring to the 'three strikes law'. Amy Coney Barrett then asked, are you referring to law so-and-so that was just stricken down? or are you referring to the effects of the law prior to that? Hahahahahah, GOTCHA! Booker was left stunned for a second, but quickly recovered and switched topics. But, WHO Sponsored that law? Democrats did! (RE. Jack Brooks, Tx)...
