Judiciary Chair Graham honors the blue slip tradition for district courts, so vacancies in lib states go unfilled.

While, on balance, this is good news, remember:

“Republican” judges are typically 50-50 at best with their decisions, while Democrat-appointed judges are 100% reliably liberal with theirs.

Democrats blocked judges for two years. Focus was on appeals court judges.

THIS is the real long-term impact of Trump’s presidency...remaking the judiciary and ridding us of a whole generation of activist judges.

All the other things are important, too. But, THIS is the real crux of what will be his legacy.

Thank You, Mr President!

Now, put the 0bamunits crowd in prison as the traitors they surely are...

Flip the 9th! Flip the 9th!

It’s the top priority (Since Ginsburg is looking like Doctor Phibes).

Wait til the Demon-rats get all three branches again.
They’ll just pack every court with a few extra Socialist/Communist/Fascist Left stooges.
Be ever vigilant, because they will never let up.

Flip the 9th is right.

Not counting senior status there are currently 9-R’s and 15-D’s with 4 vacancies.

Filling those 4 will make it 13 vs 15 and President Trump WILL flip it handily in the next 6 years..

Reshaping the judiciary will be Trump’s greatest legacy. It’s clear the swamp has not been and will not be drained and the border is more open than ever. Hopefully the new Judges will help turn this country back to its roots.

Flipping the ninth will get the most attention. By then he will have already flipped 2 or 3 and secured many others. MM is getting them through slowly but surely.

Amen!

I just checked the ninth and post 26 shows the current status.

Have been watching it. By MM taking it slowly the Rats are not getting too excited. Sort of like putting Frogs in a pot and turning up the heat gradually.

IIRC there are three more nominees to the ninth waiting their turn. Thanks for posting chart, will check it out

Trump understands the importance of having qualified judges who rule based on the law.

And that may be the reason he is not moving as fast on indictments as we would like to see.

What good is it to bring indictments only to have a lower level court dismiss the charges?

Democrats say Mr. Trump has moved too hastily by putting people on the bench who shouldn’t be there.

Isn’t it interesting. Republicans overwhelmingly approved most of 0bama’s appointments. They said a President has a right to make appointments.

The Democrats will never return the favor. This is the world we live in. Democrats embrace tyranny while the GOP still holds to Freedom.
