Lindsey Graham is allowing individual Democrats to veto the President’s picks for Federal District Court judges.
Lindsey Graham.
Strapped to a two wheeler so they can push her around.

I hope this pace continues for the next 2 years.
Its too early for Spring training camp.....
Turtle Power!
We’ve got at least 8 or 9 more Circuit Court judges to confirm. RAM them through Turtle.
Then run a train of over 100 district court judges on the Donkeys.
