Trump just nominated 13 more judges -- and zero are women

By Eric Boehlert - October 11, 2018

Trump has learned nothing from the national response to Kavanaugh.

The White House nominated 13 new judicial nominees for lifetime appointments to the federal court, and none of them are women.

Coming after male leaders of the GOP helped cram through the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, despite credible allegations of sexual assault, this week’s judicial announcement continues Trump’s long tradition of overlooking women in the legal field.

According to one summertime tabulation, Trump had nominated 135 people to federal courts, just 35 of them were women. And of Trump’s confirmed nominees who received lifetime appointment, just 23 percent were women.

That compares to 42 percent of women who landed lifetime judicial appointments during President Barack Obama’s eight years in office.

Obama nominated and confirmed two women to the U.S. Supreme Court. Trump has nominated and confirmed two men.

I still think that if and when we take back the house.......................all of his appointments should be nulled and void, because of criminality behind him, from treason to defrauding the state and federal tax system.

And damn near everyone of these lackeys being appointed come from the Federalist Society, bought and sold by the asshole Koch's
