This will be a weekly post.
Count remains at 191 judges confirmed.
138 District Court judges
51 Circuit Court judges
2 Supreme Court judges
The Senate Judiciary Committee is active again, doing markups and hearings. Votes will follow.
There are currently 16 nominees on the floor awaiting votes. McConnell this week called for cloture on several. So there will be confirmations next week.
Thanks.
The Appeals Circuit Court assembly line has been completely shut down this year so far. Covid response used for a political shutdown of the Judiciary Committee.
Linda said he will not head this committee after the election. He is obviously compromised. Ckt judges are the priority. He pushes effing trial judges.
We may lose the Senate in November. Deep State has shutdown judges.
Is there any activity at the whitehouse.gov links about new appeals judges being vetted. A disgrace that those three old Phuck 7th ckt judges (84, 82, 82 years old) have not had their useless selfish old asses shoved into Senior status by now and replaced with new blood.
There are only two Circuit vacancies. On the DC and the 5th. There was a hearing last week on Justin Walker (DC nominee). He’ll be voted out of committee in the next week or so, then a floor vote will be scheduled.
Furthermore, the vacancy doesn’t actually occur until September (but the judge may step down early if a successor is confirmed).
There’s a nominee for the 5th vacancy. That vacancy has been held up because Mick Mulvaney convinced Trump to appoint one of his cronies (Sul Ozerden). But that nomination expired with the congressional session. So Trump nominated a good conservative, who will get a hearing, committee vote and floor vote.
Trump has 51 Circuit confirmations in less than four years. Obama had 55 in EIGHT years. So we’re in VERY good shape at the Circuit level.
District judges are more numerous, and are more easily confirmed.
On a regular basis 80+ year old ckt judges have been retiring or moving to senior status. Even younger ones in their 60’s have done so.
We are in high danger of losing the Senate. Old fart R confirmed ckt judges absolutely need to get their selfish pompous asses out of the way.
4th ckt: 79, 76 yr old R judges
7th ckt: 84, 82, 82 yr old R judges by Reagan and papa Bush
8th ckt: 80 yr old R judge
9th ckt: 78 yr old R judge
Only in fed judges and crusty fed politicians is a situation like this tolerated. Everyone else is forced to retire in the real world. The R party must not tolerate this crap anymore. These aren’t 65 yr old’s here. 80 yr old dinosaurs that can die at any time. Get them out now.
Six district nominations reported out of the Judiciary Committee this week, PA-W, LA-W, TX-S, NY-S, VA-W and NV. Plus 2 nominations for the federal claims court reported out.
This is what I see for Monday,
UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT
Scott H. Rash (Cal. No. 564)
James E. Trainor III (Cal. No. 640)
Anna M. Manasco (Cal. No. 600)
John F. Heil III (Cal. No. 601)
John Leonard Badalamenti (Cal. No. 602)
Ordered, That following Leader remarks on Monday, May 18 2020, the Senate proceed to executive
session and resume consideration of the nomination of Scott H. Rash, of Arizona, to be United States District
Judge for the District of Arizona.
Ordered further, That at 5:30 p.m., notwithstanding the provisions of Rule XXII, the cloture vote on the
Rash nomination occur.
Ordered further, That with respect to the motions to invoke cloture on the following nominations, the
mandatory quorum calls required under Rule XXII be waived
Scott H. Rash, of Arizona, to be United States District Judge for the District of Arizona;
James E. Trainor III, of Texas, to be a Member of the Federal Election Commission for a term expiring
April 30, 2023;
Anna M. Manasco, of Alabama, to be United States District Judge for the Northern District of
Alabama;
John F. Heil III, of Oklahoma, to be United States District Judge for the Northern, Eastern and
Western Districts of Oklahoma; and
John Leonard Badalamenti, of Florida, to be United States District Judge for the Middle District of Florida
Not surprising that the CPUSA got a big assist from the chinese communists in the form of the chicom-virus sneak attack...
The Senate has always been in session. Now that the stimulus bills have been passed and a pause is happening, is the time for turtle and Linda to get the ckt court pipeline to flow again.
It is our side that is the cause.
In 6 months a good chance we lose the Senate or a weak majority that chokes the Judiciary Committee on judges and staff approvals. The 2020 and 2022 election cycles the GOP is on defense. Even if we do well enough in November the majority is most likely lost in 2022. All we can hope for is a 2 year window for Trump judges, at best.
From reading today looks like turtle and Linda were aware of Obama spying on Trump. Has this been used to extort those two to go slow on judges and investigations.
