Their arrogance is amazing.
And McConnell continues to SLOW CRAWL scheduling votes on Trump’s District Court judicial nominees. I guess he’s too focused on advancing CHINESE interests to bother with new federal judges.
It’s not just judges who have to be changed; it’s the entire system which permits judges to dictate to the people.
Their rulings have to be made to apply only to the specific case at hand, and not to any other cases.
No more judge-made “case law”.
That practice has been so abused as to render it unpalatable
in a democracy.
A long way to go though.
We still have 2 conservative, 2 moderates, 1 liberal, and 4 Constitution-hating nutcases on the Supreme Court.
Oh don’t worry, the next time we have a Democratic President and Trump’s judges stop their agenda, we will hear about it big time and it will be fixed somehow. That is how the Democrats work.
How about a black robe regiment revolution. It was effective the first time.
It's unpalatable in a republic too.
What was that?
Pastors leading men in battle.
Get rid of these traitors by any and all means.
“Black-robed Regiment” was a name given by the British to chaplains who ministered to soldiers of the Continental Army during the American Revolution.
It implied that they would be given no quarter as preachers would normally receive.
Slide out to 5:20 for the meat of Newt’s lesson on judges!
Can someone get this to Trump?

Courts subordinate to the Supreme Court are governed by rules set by Congress. Congress could fix this tomorrow if they wanted. They don’t want to.
In Trump’s first year, he was nominating judges without any input from sitting U.S. Senators.
That was a very good thing.
In 2017, tragically, Trump has returned to the old method, and now sitting Senators, including Democrats, are essentially nominating new judges.
The last batch of judges that went through had multiple nominations with 30-40 Democrat Senators voting to confirm.
For at least the last 20 years, only Red State Democrats vote to confirm Conservative judges.
Today, when you see 30-40 Democrats voting for a judge, it means Trump is putting a Left Wing activist on the bench.
That's really interesting, and completely new to me.
Can you give me a “subject heading” I can use on Google to get more details on this?
Thanks.

“Under the Constitution, Congress can vest these courts with jurisdiction... “
A start. It’s not simple.

I actually enjoy learning about the law.
Google Scholar is exceptionally helpful, but I wanted to be sure I had some relevant headers before I started researching there.
Google Scholar is also exceptionally affordable - the price of your Internet connection.
Did you know that Westlaw and Lexis-Nexis require a one year subscription!
I will be cheering on the sidelines when Google puts both of them out of business.
I'm also waiting for Artificial Intelligence to put 90% of lawyers out of business, but, since you might be a lawyer, I'm not going to mention that.
