Stupid rule, is simply an archaic formality, it has no practical value, like the Doorman at the House of Commons slamming the door in the face of the King or Queen..............
Get rid of blue slips and make the 9th circus the most conservative court in the nation. That may help fix the nuts out west too.
Thanks for posting this great news. More and more winning.
Anybody know how many fed justices have been appointed so far?
I know he’s been quietly nominating in batches, but don’t have a tally on the total to date.
Trump needs to get these positions filled - before liberals can do more damage.
Senate rules are causing a lot of problems.
Bingo.
S What I’ve been saying since last year.
We win.
We get 4 swings at SCOTUS
More than 600 at Federal Judges.....
8 years
Next, fire all the Obama Federal Prosecutors and appoint new ones.
Fire all the Inspector Generals and appoint new ones. (Obama kept a lot of temp IG’s) State dept had no IG the entire time Hillary was there.
>>Scalia was a once-in-lifetime true-blue conservative.
You’re overlooking Clarence and Sam!
More like Yertle McConnel's blind devotion to those archaic rules.
since Trump took office, EVERY day has been CHRISTMAS with a dollop of Fourth of July!!
My proposal has been this.
Divide the 9th, and require judges to be cut in half as well. Send half the 9th judges to the new court. Then make appointments to fill the roster, giving us a roughly 50/50 judiciary in each court.
You suggest three rings. What a great additional dynamic. Do what I suggested, move justices to each court, leaving 2/3rds of the needed justice seats empty in each. Then you fill that 2/3rds with new justices.
Yikes! What a flip.
Folks could respond by pointing out we couldn’t force judges to move out of the area to the new court’s districts. Easy fix...
Leave all three court seats in the same city they are in now. No legal teams or defendants would have to travel any farther than they had previously, so this would be no additional burden.
Then you have three courts that are cleaned up, instead of one that is sick and twisted.
I love the smell of Democrat panic in the morning ,,, I suppose we should all get used to it for years to come as they double down on their insanity .
It is the District Court Judges who initiate the usurpation of Trump's clear responsibilities. The DISTRICT COURTS ARE THE FOUNDATION OF THE PYRAMID. Let's take a long view and appoint constitutionalist conservatives at all level of the judiciary,
I suggest after cutting each judge, to toss the left side and just use the right.
It is imperative that the GOP is working hard for 18, because if dems get a majority in the house, they will slam close the window... I think the odds of the D’s retaking the house are low, but can’t sit on our laurels... Need to be even more engaged than 16 IMHO....
Because I guarantee the D’s will be motivated as all get out.
You could use the top or bottom half, but I’m not sure they can cut them down the middle.
In the vein of taking the high road, toss the lower bottom halves then.
The Appellate level is as important, if not more important, than SCOTUS. Most cases settle because the client has to have deep, deep pockets to get through a trial, let alone an appeal. From there, it is a quantum leap to get to SCOTUS. Most binding law is from the Appellate courts.
