That’s a lot of vices. I suppose “vice” means “to replace”, but it’s not in my dictionary that way.
Anyone he sends the dims will reject.
Does anyone have that website were the libs keep profiles on judges and talk about how dangerous they are?
FYI ping.
Shalom Stone is probably dead on arrival. The NJ Senators are already releasing the typical ‘waaaaaah, no consulting’ comments.
Haynes and Tinker are probably good to go. Conrad, the most important of the 4, is a tossup.
The 4th circuit is in terrible shape, as the once ‘most conservative’ circuit has 5 out of 15 seats vacant. It has jurisdiction over the Guantanemo cases. With Senate GOPers squabbling and being useless (Lindsey Graham), Hillary will shift this court drastically if she gets the chance to fill all 5.
I wonder what makes the President decide to appoint these people out of session instead of making them go through the full process?
Also wonder how many he has had to send up that way?
Judge Tinder taught my trial practice class section (4 people) in Law School. After our mock jury trial he invited us over to his house for a few beers while he critiqued our performance on videotae. Strong conservative and a great nomination.
