McConnell needs to get these approved immediately. Skip the delays and crawling. Put 9th Circuit at top of list!
The only thing preventing them from being rubber-stamped is the Republican Party.
What about Patrick Bumatay, Daniel Collins and Kenneth Kiyul Lee? Are they now forgotten?
The House isn’t going to pass anything worth passing in the Senate, so might as well just spend two years confirming as many judges as possible.
16 were appointed by Clinton and Obama, 5 by W., and 2 by Trump, with 6 vacancies. It will take a while to change that court. The good news? 15 of them are over 65 years old, and 7 of those, are over 70! Don’t wish anyone to get sick and die, but I don’t mind if they suddenly decide to retire!
kickstarting the administration’s effort to install more conservative judges after GOP activists worried that such appointments had stalled.
********************************************
Hell yes, the judicial appointments have stalled.
Lindsay Graham needs to get off of his dead ass and get a steady flow of nominees RAPIDLY through the Judiciary Committee approval process. It should NOT be allowed to drag on forever...particularly since many of the renominations have ALREADY COMPLETED the Committee Hearing process last year in the last Congress.
So, Lindsay, stop your posturing and do what you’re supposed to be doing as Chairman of the Judiciary Committee...getting the President’s nominees out for confirmation votes. Stop running around doing things such as flying off to Turkey to pow-wow with the Islamist Erdogan and interfering with our foreign policy. YOU wanted the Judiciary Chairman’s job...NOW do THAT job!
Trump's first round of judicial picks in 2017 was very good.
Trump abandoned the time honored custom of asking Senators from each region to recommend judges, and he nominated his own choices, most of whom were obvious Conservatives, and almost all of them were vigorously opposed by the Democrats.
By late 2017, Trump retreated and started nominating judges endorsed by Democrat Senators.
In 2018, Trump made no attempt to defend two Conservative nominees who came under relentless attacks from the MSM/Democrats. Both judges withdrew.
Trump's last Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, told the Senate Judiciary Committee that center-left RINO Anthony Kennedy was the Justice he most admired.
How about Trump's nominee for Attorney General?
In 1991, all eight Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee voted to confirm William Barr as Attorney General.
That was the same gang of Democrat Senators who destroyed Robert Bork, and tried to destroy Clarence Thomas.
But they voted 8-0 for William Barr
Just appoint them. Screw the Congressional approval process
This should be the main priority for the senate. Appoint many everyday
There are 12 vacancies on the circuit courts. President Trump has 9 appointees pending here. Confirm them all, hurry up and nominate 3 more Strict Constructionists for the remaining 3 vacancies and the confirm them too. We’re only about half way toward balancing out the damage Obama did considering he appointed 55 Leftists to the Circuit Courts.
To pass these judges means that Jeff Flake will have no legacy at all. Fie on him.
Current balance of the 9th: 25 Dem, 16 Rep, and six or more vacancies.
Here’s hoping that President Trump puts iron clad, hard-assed heterosexual conservative judges in those seats.
