Senate Judiciary Committee clears eight of Trump's judicial nominees

The Judiciary Committee cleared eight more judicial nominees Thursday, giving GOP leaders a total of 49 judges ready to be confirmed by the whole Senate.

The votes — the first since the committee’s nasty fight over Supreme Court Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh — cleared seven district court nominees and one circuit court pick.

That nominee, Jonathan A. Kobes for the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, was approved on a party-line vote.

Democrats said Mr. Kobes, who works as a lawyer for Sen. Mike Rounds, South Dakota Republican, wasn’t ready to be a judge, citing the American Bar Association’s rating of him as unqualified.

Of course, the left defines anyone as “unqualified” if they’re not a leftist.
On the other hand, we’re supposed to let any and all leftists through without complaint because, after all, that’s fair.

Have I mentioned yet today how much I hate these people?

Avenutty so totally destroyed the DemoCommie case against Brett Kavanaugh that I would be surprised that there wasn’t a payday in it for him and Slutnick from people on our side...
