ASHINGTON, DC – President Donald Trump announced his 12th wave of judicial nominees for 19 lifetime federal judgeships on Tuesday, including two short-listers for the U.S. Supreme Court.
The president nominated three people for the U.S. courts of appeals:
Justice Britt Grant currently serves on the Georgia Supreme Court, and is nominated for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. Grant is the former Georgia solicitor general who previously served in the Bush 43 White House and litigated at the powerhouse law firm Kirkland & Ellis. She is a graduate of Stanford Law School and clerked for Judge Brett Kavanaugh on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.
Paul Matey is general counsel and a senior vice president at University Hospital in New Jersey, and is nominated for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. He served as deputy chief counsel to former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) and as a federal prosecutor. Matey graduated from Seton Hall and clerked first for a federal district judge in New Jersey and later for a judge on the Third Circuit.

12th wave? Sounds like a bad galaxian flashback
McConnell is doing a PATHETIC job of having Trump’s judicial nominees receive confirmation votes.

John is a personal friend and very solid guy. We've been waiting for this one for a long time.
They better get approved this session since the GOP may not have the Senate in January. McConnell needs to go home to KY and stay there.
Nominated does not equal appointed. Not with the Turtle.
