This could be huge...

Quote:President Donald Trump’s influence on the federal judiciary goes further than just filling one seat on the Supreme Court. The president needs to fill 117 vacancies on various federal courts.

On Jan. 31, Trump nominated Neil Gorsuch to fill the Supreme Court seat left vacant by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia. While this was certainly an important seat to fill, more than 13 percent of all lifetime judiciary positions remain vacant.

The U.S. Court of Appeals currently has 18 vacancies, the District courts have 91, the Court of International Trade has 2 vacant seats, and the Court of Federal Claims has 6. Many of these picks would have the potential to change the balance of several U.S. courts.

Great. We need some big changes. Let's start with those Libturd judges who think they're the Legislature all packed into 3 people. Not counting the first one from Washington.

Yea, this is another Harry Reid gift. Harry changed the rules back in late 2013, just as the new republican Senate was a few weeks away from taking the majority. So Harry changed the rule so that a simple 50 vote majority could pass some of these judges, and filled a few vacancies quickly. Since then, the republicans have been able to block the libturd dingleberry judges that doofus tried to appoint, and now Trump basically has a green light to fill all of them.

It will be funny when the course of the federal courts get a conservative makeover thanks to Harry Reid.

Thanks Harry!

Out with the bad...in with the good. Please, no activist judges!

What will Harry be remembered for:
...eliminating the filibuster and allowing Trump to pack the courts
...lying about Romney's tax returns

What a legacy.
