Now if only the cowardly, obsequious Lindsey Graham would do away with that favorite tool of the DemocRATS ... the Blue Slip process which they use to block good district court judge nominees.

Were these judges recommended by The Federalist Society? If so, can we trust that they are truly conservative?

Prolly not.

The Federalist Society can only go by the Judge's Education, Historical Record and Rulings.

They are being lambasted for what these “Individuals” choose to do after they are appointed.

Most of us Voted for Bush, McCain and Romney thinking they were the best choices. The one that made it, Bush, did not live up to our expectations and the other two showed their real colors after losing, but that doesn't mean we as a group should be accused of fomenting the actions of all three of those Individuals after we showed our initial “approval” of them. What was the term Obama used when he did a 180 on Gay Marriage, "evolving"? Looks like these Conservative Judges just love to evolve.

About time to take some "real" action...

"Sending" isn't the issue...
Voting "approval" is the issue...

Damned tired of the week-kneed excuses of the past six months from the WH and the Senate...

The question seems to be: Is the GOP saving most of these many vacancies to offer as penance to the communists in case the communists win the election?

IMHO, it is 70-30 YES!

Go ahead, Gutless Old Penises, prove me wrong!

They’ve approved over 300 court appointments Trump made.
Last year’s recess, they negotiated with Dem opposition to skip the Dem’s pointless delays - they agreed to approve the number of appointed judges that would have occurred if Dems delayed every step of the way so they could take a break.

The President has been wildly successful in getting judges appointed over the objections of the left. Obama left an unprecedented number of judge seats open and the Senate has been working to full them, every objection by the dems is heard and over ruled.

Again, the past six months have been an unnecessary total failure to perform on the part of the WH and the Senate...

Last year was last year... The communists are kicking our collective asses... Absolutely no one is kicking back...
