A huge shot for honest non-activist judges for a generation and they have a lot more coming.

Quote:The Senate confirmed President Donald Trump’s 100th judicial nominee Thursday, passing a symbolic threshold meant to signal the GOP’s determined push to staff the federal judiciary with conservative jurists.

As of this writing, the president has appointed 102 judges to the federal bench. That total includes 63 trial judges, 37 appeals judges and two Supreme Court justices.

“Today marks an incredible milestone as the Senate confirmed President Trump’s 100th judicial nominee,” said Carrie Severino, chief counsel of the Judicial Crisis Network. “This is a big win for the country to have judges who fairly apply the law and adhere to the Constitution sitting on our nation’s most prized courts.”

Though Trump and the Senate Republican caucus have processed nominees with stunning proficiency, the administration has not yet overcome left-leaning majorities on many federal appeals courts, while a burgeoning number of trial court vacancies present a daunting challenge.

The Senate reached the 100-judge mark with the confirmation of Rodolfo “Rudy” Armando Ruiz to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida on a 90-8 vote. Ruiz is a state court judge and a member of the Federalist Society, a conservative legal group that advises the White House of judgeships. The confirmations of Raul Manuel Arias-Marxuach to the District of Puerto Rico and Joshua Wolson to the Eastern District of Pennsylvania followed.

Im not a fan of Trump...but..This is HUGE. I think this might turn out to be his most important accomplishment as POTUS. Stacking the courts with constitutional minded judges will have giant impact for decades.

I was opposed to trump in the primaries, but this is an unbeatable economy.

Been for Trump since day one. Doing what I felt a businessman would do with the economy. His ability to govern has proven to be better than I imagined. If he didn't have the Dems and media trying every day to end his Presidency with drummed up fake events, no telling what he would accomplish.

It’s not his ******* policies. The guy believe in nothing. Same **** would have happened with Mike Pence or Jeb Bush but without the extra drama and tweets.

You know as well as I do that's BS. Trump passionately believes in this country and in what he's doing to improve it. Did he leave you standing outside the prom with your dress down around your ankles or something?

There was only one other candidate I found acceptable and that was Cruz. I could have easily voted for him but then I stop and wonder what yet another beltway insider would have done with the mess Trump was handed. His being an outsider is key for me.

I said back when Perot was running that this country could benefit from a businesslike approach and Trump is proving that to be true. Imagine how much more he could have accomplished by now had the dims moved aside.

This might have been the boom that CB heard

For clarity...Im not a fan of him because of his morality issues. I don't respect men who don't respect women. It is the same opinion I had about Bill Clinton and I had very little issue with the way he performed as POTUS.

Same here.

I still don't know if I can bring myself to vote for him. But I certainly prefer him to any of the democrats in the field, and if necessary I can certainly vote against any of them.

I did not vote for him the last time..but..if not given another viable alternative to the Dems...I might have to do it this time.

#DJTexperiment WORKS!

you nailed my 'why' out of the gate supporting #henceDJT

PROOFS IN THE PUDDING

disclaimer: it's a shame Perot couldn't infiltrate the RNC.....I would've enjoyed that one play out too...

even though Clinton was easily the best donk in my lifetime (both bushes were disturbingly horrible in scope from the R 'tag'), Perot would've been a gift vs either alternative if his balls would've only been made of 'iron'....

Encouraging news. But there are over 100 vacancies on various federal courts right now. Add in the # of judges who have publicly announced the date on which they will retire or take senior-status, and we need 159 more in the next 15 months or so.

tack on another ~30 mos. where DJT will be relevant at his 'disposal', and the cleansing will be complete....

after '20, he's going to fill-up and binge/purge as quickly as possible....

what should scare folk is who his replacement becomes....

I personally hope Cuban makes the move in '24 (wishful thinking)....

PERFECT TIMING

So, earlier today the Senate confirmed Trump’s nominee to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals (Texas/Louisiana/Mississippi).

For Trump, that is #200 for all life-tenured, Article-III judges in the federal system. Also, #53 for the Court of Appeals. There are no vacancies on the Appellate Courts for the first time in over 40 years.

You might hear media compare Trump’s 53 (in <4 years) to Obama’s 55 (in 8 years). That’s true as far as it goes.

But if you look closer you’ll see that 7 of Obama’s appellate judges were confirmed (by Unanimous vote of the Senate) to the “US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.” That court, little-noticed by the public, holds a random grab-bag of subject-matter jurisdiction over things like Patent law and Military pensions, but does not touch the hot-button issues like abortion, church/state, or politically-hot cases like the Flynn/Sullivan showdown that’s been in the news lately. None of Trump’s 53 appellate nominees were placed on that court. Plus, another 5 of Obama’s appellate judges have already resigned.

So, in a sense, the current comparison is really 53 for Trump and 43 for Obama, out of the 167 Appellate judge positions to be had, not counting the patent-law court.

Still need Breyer to retire & RBG to expire soon after he is re-elected. Maybe Thomas will want Trump to nominate his successor too.

5 Trump justices would be amazing

I love a thread that 'ages' well....

TIME TO SHINE AGAIN
