Weaponized?

The Democrats have destroyed the American judicial system.

The major struggle coming over covid funding will be over the ability to bring tort lawsuits. A fox News panelist said that to get covid tort
elimination the Republicans must approve state bailouts

The solution fir the tort problem is for hire hit squads to take out offending lawyers. No state pension bankruptcy prevention bailout will then be necessary

Weaponized/destroyed, yes. Dems love to use it as a last resort to get what they want if they can't get legislatures to push their crap.

Reform must happen and I believe Trump is doing it the way it should be. It's slow, but methodical and will be long-lasting. I do not and will not approve of "hit squads", unless you mean something other than the obvious...

District of Columbia Circuit, formally requested that Chief Justice John Roberts assign another circuit.

The snickering sound heard behind the closed door was Pelosi and cons.

Judge Thomas B. Griffith will be 66 years old in July.

That's the normal age for Federal judges to retire or take senior status.

“McConnell’s completely fabricated policy of not allowing President Barack Obama to even get a Senate confirmation hearing for his pick for the vacant Supreme Court seat in his last year in office was the most egregious manifestation of this nefarious right-wing plot to stack the courts with their allies and foster their conservative agenda.”

No, only hardcore leftists are supposed to fight like this. I am no fan of Cocaine Mitch, but tip my hat to him on getting judges through the Senate. Unfortunately, Lindsay Grahamnesty is not much help on the Judiciary Committee.

I live in Kentucky, so, Mitch is my Senator. For years I would have voted for anybody but Mitch because I’ve seen him as a RINO. Since the nuclear option by the Democrats Mitch has pushed through 200 judges, it more than makes up for his past mistakes. What Mitch and Trump has done for our courts will last well after the Trump presidency is over.

I’m pleased if Mitch did suggest to older judges that they should retire to make room for new young blood conservatives, I can’t imagine anything wrong with it. If Mitch did that then I am even more pleased with him.

Lets get on with the confirmations.

an Obammy Judge appointee, no less.

Pulling out all the stops to CYA for the elite DC cabal.

Denied! Confirm Walker now.

The fact that the Donkeys are so vehemently opposed to him has convinced me he is an excellent appointee.
