We torpedoed Trump’s agenda(wall,etc) and prevented the swamp from being drained—The 2 things that MUST be done for AMerica survive(She’s barely breathing)

But pat us on the back for getting some judges through.

84 total, including Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, 29 circuit judges, and 53 district court judges.

Unprecedented success! No President has had record like this in just 2 years. Good on the turtle.

Obama left over 80 open. He just couldn’t be bothered to do the work to nominate. MM didn’t hurry or encourage him to do so.

No realistic way to ever drain the swamp without first getting key parts of the Judiciary under Constitutional oversight.

Get everyone you can to vote to continue the trend, and shortly after the midterms this show might start to get really good.

Perhaps even Great.

“Wasn’t there something like 165 pending?*

Probably running out of Judges to promote whom are right of center and believe in the Constitution. Not a joke. See how many Law Professors turned on Kavanaugh.

Liberal judges are the reason my niece has to share a bathroom with a man!

I would expect a lot more judges and administrators to be confirmed in the lame duck session immediately after the election. And assuming that Republicans retain (and likely increase) their control of the Senate, the confirmations will accelerate next year. By the end of Trump’s first term, he will have filled most of the judicial vacancies around the country. If he’s re-elected and Republicans maintain control of the the Senate after 2020 (both of which appear likely), Trump will have completely remade the majority of the country’s court system, as well as adding another Supreme Court Justice or two.

I wasn’t aware the courts ran the country. The reason why America is on that sad height is because too many people believe they should. 3 separate and unequal branches under the Constitution. The judiciary, the unelected branch, should be the weakest.

If the executive and legislative branches are going to cede their powers to the courts, turn out the lights now.

84 judicial nominees confirmed so far. That's not bad at all, in my opinion!

They already did, and it’s unconstitutional. That’s what makes it key. You have to be able to stop the particular courts that only aim to protect the swamp.

I believe he already has the record for number of judicial seats filled. And since there were so many empty when he took office he will have the opportunity to fill an extremely high number.
His sister Mary Ann sat on the same bench as Sam Alito before he was elevated to the SCOTUS. (She spoke for him when he went through committee ) PDJT understands the judicial importance and how it is suppose to work and knows it will be his greatest legacy
