This is what really counts, my friends!
Quote:Congress has handed Trump a historic presidential victory

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley is giving President Trump yet another major victory on judicial nominations.

None of this would have been possible without Harry Reid's decision to kill the filibuster.

The result is Trump will get to fill the most federal judiciary vacancies in 40 years.


Consider that as of November 3rd, 13 Trump nominees to the courts have been confirmed this year. The big name is Supreme Court Associate Justice Neil Gorsuch, but we also have eight new federal appeals court judges, and four new U.S. district court judges. President Trump has now already surpassed the last four presidents' records for first-year judifical confirmations. And he's even tied President Ronald Reagan number of appeals court confirmations in year one.

But this isn't just about sheer numbers, it's about ideology too. While President Trump and conservatives have diverged in matters of policy several times over the past year, the judicial nomination process is decidedly not one of them. The nominees sent to the Senate from the White House are more conservative and even younger than what we saw during President George W. Bush's two terms in office.

Yeah Trump is able to hire people big deal. The way he runs through cabinet members proves he does not hire the best people.
Seems like a layup a committee finds candidates he rubber stamps.

What seems to be zooming over your headbone is that it doesn't matter how they get there, they're there. And they're qualified, conservative, and young and that means they'll be there a very long while. There is a there there, so there you go.

That's exactly what I was thinking. It all depends on how you want the law "interpreted."

hence, Trump if one believes in conservative law.....

once again, I'd apply term limits to them too.....

Yes, at the state and local level, but you can't make that claim at the SCOTUS. Can't think of a conservative victory over the last 30 years that took any mental gymnastics.

Plenty of law being written from the bench at the federal level too. Mental gymnastics is an excellent phrase. Just think of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit if you wish to see some real olympic champion decisions.

Yeah, but SCOTUS conservatives... Scalia and Thomas... have been straight law.

Just in context, the alternative would have been- these seats being filled by ________ instead.

We’d be on the superhighway of autobahn to not even recognizing our Country any longer. Probably no longer allowed to recognize “Country” as a thing anymore. Only another migratory species of animals...

Suck it, Harry Reid.

Regardless of how I feel about this guy, I consider this a positive. Our judiciary has become more and more liberal over the years. Im glad that trend is going to be curbed.

Rep points for that comment because it's exactly how I feel as well. Again, how many times did our left-of-center buddies claim that Trump was going to screw us conservatives over.....campaigning one way and presiding over the presidency another?

Instead he's got DC donks and rinos both pullin their hair out (which pleases me to no end) while reshaping our judiciary for the positive for decades to come.
