Trump, GOP senators throw themselves a party to celebrate judicial overhaul
« on: November 06, 2019, 10:13:36 pm »
President Donald Trump and Republican senators took a victory lap  Wednesday to celebrate their push to put nearly 150 of their picks on federal benches from coast to coast.

The Senate has confirmed 72 Trump judicial nominees this year, the most of his term. Overall, he and McConnell have put 112 justices on the federal district courts, 43 to circuit courts and two to the Supreme Court. The Senate, shortly after the event wrapped, was slated to vote on two more.

The high number of vacancies Trump has been able to fill is partly because McConnell used his majority leader position to bottle up dozens of nominees tapped by President Barack Obama during his last two years in office.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_H._W._Bush#Judicial_appointments , GHWB:

Quote
Bush also experienced a number of judicial appointment controversies, as 11 nominees for 10 federal appellate judgeships were not processed by the Democratically-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee.

That was in the 1991-1992 time frame.

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Judicial appointments have been one of Mr. Trump's best accomplishments.
Even the n'ertrumpers might have to concede that to him.
A little celebration is in order.

A really big Thank you goes out to Harry Reed.  If not for you Harry, none of this would have been possible.
