You can't read.

Looks like your problem. I never said there weren't nominee judges waiting for confirmation.

Don't know where you get the idea there are "hundreds" waiting on confirmation, though. confirmthem reports 17 Circuit nominees pending.

Frist just got Kavanaugh confirmed. Conservatives need to keep up the pressure to get as many as we can confirmed before the election. It ought to be priority one for the Senate.

Perhaps you could explain how many Alitos and Kavanaughs you're gonna get confirmed if you and your buddies succeed in flipping Congress to the Dems???

Must be pretty bad when you have to accuse the support of a President who's about as popular as Herpes for your big loss.

[NapkinUser]

My "big loss"?

It's not even worth a response.

[CWOJackson]

bay's big loss...and you're right, she's hardly worthy of a response.

[deport]

The 'true conservatives' in the 3rd of Utah spoke either at the polls or by staying home it seems. In either case the voting populace in the 3rd chose to send their five term representative back to the general which is tantamount to another term regardless of the single issue crowd's efforts.

Get 'R Done

[skeeter]

I think you hit the nail on the head.

[tennmountainman]

There are many more than Circuit Nominees Waiting For Appointment.

[tennmountainman]

My advice to the GOP Senate is to start humping them thru a lot faster than they got Kavenough before the elections.

[colorado tanker]

Agreed. It's the number one priority for the rest of this Congress.

[deport]

THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF GOP COURT NOMINEES STILL WAITING FOR A HEARING AND APPOINTMENT TO THE BENCH

Curious.. Where are you getting this info. Currently there are 55 Article III vacancies. Now all vacancies and nominations are important, but HUNDREDS?

Federal Appointments on the state level as well

[Texasforever]

What do you mean Federal appointments at the state level. There is no such animal.

[tennmountainman]

Federal district attorneys in states, Judges, etc. All federal appointments combined

I read it in an artlicle about 3 months ago.

[Texasforever]

Federal district attorneys in states, Judges, etc. All federal appointments combined

There is no such thing as state Federal district attorneys and the only Federal Judges are federal court district judges that Deport included in his chart.

[tennmountainman]

I don't mean State

I meant Federal appointments serving in state.s, Such as the federal prosecutor in New York

[Texasforever]

You are talking about Attorney Generals and those do not require Senate confirmation.

[tennmountainman]

The article said there were a lot of appointments yet to be filled.

[Texasforever]

There are always lots of appointments to be filled. However most appointments do not require Senate confirmation.

[Proud2BAmerican]

WOW. Bush really took the effort to get involved in a GOP primary to officially back Cannon? I can't say that I've followed this race closely, except for glancing at headlines on FR and reading the post-mortem articles; but it really surprises me that an incumbent would need the president's help against someone in their first political foray.

[tennmountainman]

How many "Pending" appointments are still hanging...round abouts?
