...Judge for Life
Senate Republicans on Tuesday pushed through her confirmation, voting 53-44. Every Republican voted for her. Every Democrat voted against her, as Huffpost's Jennifer Bendery noted.
She has practiced law for nine years. How many cases has she tried to verdict or judgment? Four. Has she been the lead attorney on any of those cases? No, said Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL), who serves as the Ranking Member on the Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on the Constitution. That is the most scant, weakest legal resume imaginable for someone whos seeking a lifetime appointment to the second-highest court of the land.

It is going to take a long time for all the bad that has been wrought to be put right after this administration and its lap dogs are consigned to history

(15,353 posts)What do or can the Dems do to stop this shit?
Use their congressional power to cut funding to the courts?
Use the debt ceiling debate to deliver an ultimatum that this ramrodding of nutbags to the courts stop?
I would definitely hold some fucking house inquiries into the fucking Federalist nutsack Society.
A few fucking whack jobs from that fucked society might be coincidental, but 90% of these fucksticks filling seats on our courts is a judicial coup.
Next time Democrats have the White House and Senate I want fucking judges that will give Lindsey Graham the fucking vapors.
God! I will never forgive Donnie Shit for Brains voters.
