like Ryan (criminal deceptive Romney toady),

McConnell works against the Elected President.

2 circuit court judges had hearings. Only one circuit court vacancy remains. All others are district courts subject to blue slips.

Unbelievable. Senate has no excuses. Start ramming through ckt judges asap. Forget the damn district judges for now. Most are in blue states waiting for some package deal with upcheck. Get 15 or so ckt judges in 2019. 2020 is election year, shutdowns, RBG expiring maybe.

McConnell has 5 judicial confirmations scheduled for next week. Two are for circuit courts, two for district courts and one for claims court. He has zero confirmation votes scheduled next week for the executive branch.

What’s the holdup?

Frankly, I’m getting the feeling that the weak sisters are telling McConnell that tgwy won’t vote on too many more nominees.

Thank you, LS. It is always helpful to have informed input on these sorts of threads. Like making sure the hose or extinguisher is available when you might need fire suppression.

"There are currently 24 judicial nominees waiting for floor votes." Looks like the effort to reestablish a Constitutional federal judiciary is over... McConnell has apparently joined (surreptitiously) the Romney wing of the demoncrat party... Maybe the "slam-dunk" nature of the GOP impeachment trial response is getting less and less probable...

Amen to that.

Once again. 4 current vacancies (9th, 5th, two 2nd). Lots of 80 yr GOP confirmed ckt judges to move to senior. Three 9th, two 11th, three 7th, one 8th, two 4th, one 10th. 12 + 4 =16 judges that we control their status. RAT appointed judges leave throughout the year randomly also.

McConnell needs to understand, we support Trump. We tolerate McConnell.
