Good for Chairman Grassley!

The Dems are crying like little boys and girls for having to do their job and vote for judicial nominees because there Might be a shutdown.

OMG, Grassley is making sausage again.

[Cheerio]

LGBT advocates are FREAKS OF NATURE

[BenLurkin]

A “horde” of nominees.

Nope.

No bias there.

[LIConFem]

So we have ONE senator who actually wants to get something done, and all the Dems and ePubs can do is bitch and complain.

I loathe politicians.

[Bubba_Leroy]

I am pissed that it is only 17.

[Bubba_Leroy]

How DARE Republicans try to get things done before the Democrats shut down the government?

Great old adage:

[CincyRichieRich]

We won, you lost. Didn’t Obama say that?

[faithhopecharity]

reforming the judiciary cannot be achieved unless some more well-qualified and level-headed candidates are confirmed.

Grassley is a real champion for us!

Trump set a record for confirmed judges in 2017, let’s hope he can do that again in ‘18.

Congressional power waxes and wanes and switches sides, judicial power is generational in scope.

[lonevoice]

The Senate Judiciary Committee is slated to vote Thursday on 17 judicial nominees, who were re-nominated by President Trump at the beginning of the month.

Under Senate rules, nominees have to be approved by the full Senate in order to carry over into a new session of Congress.

But advocates are accusing Grassley of trying to avoid public scrutiny by slipping controversial candidates opposed by Democrats into an already stacked agenda.

Making inroads into our country's decades of judicial tyranny could be one of the most significant pieces of this President's legacy.

Go for it, Sen. Grassley!

17 nominees a “horde”? Nah ... maybe a passel but not a horde.

“It is the height of cynicism for Senators to be forcing a vote on these nominees at a time when millions of families are worrying about essential government services being cut off at the end of this week, and suffering in other ways as a result of Washington’s divisiveness and dysfunction.”

This is just payback to the Dems and Harry Reid for their incredibly dirty tricks. Maybe, if the Republicans do this enough, the Dems will allow the U.S. Senate to go back to the collegial place that it was a couple of decades ago. If not, then it doesn’t matter much.

Oh, and about that “essential government services” crap: please note that only “NON-essential” employees and programs will be put on hold (as is ALWAYS the case with government shutdowns). Which begs the question: “If those people and services are NON-essential, then why are we paying for them in the first place?” Or, to put the question in a more modern context: “Why are we dumping all of that money down a shithole if this crap is non-essential?”

“It is the height of cynicism for Senators to be forcing a vote on these nominees at a time when millions of families are worrying about essential government services being cut off at the end of this week, and suffering in other ways as a result of Washington’s divisiveness and dysfunction.”

This sentence must have constructed by hand via some kind of Mad-Lib, because nothing connects. Let me try: "It is the height of cynicism for [President Trump] to be [calling countries 'shitholes'] at a time when millions of families are worrying about [the regulatory future for self-driving cars]."
