Coons: ‘Hundreds’ of Trump’s Lower Court Judges Shouldn’t ‘Be Allowed to Sit Peaceabl
Quote:On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Rachel Maddow Show,” Senate Judiciary Committee member Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) said that there should be a “wide-open conversation” on rebalancing the courts, including the circuit and district courts, where there are “hundreds” of judges who shouldn’t “be allowed to sit peaceably without our re-examining the process, the results, and the consequences.”
Coons said, “[W]e’ve got to have a wide-open conversation about how do we rebalance our courts. Yes, the two Supreme Court [seats] that have been stolen through these processes that are just wildly hypocritical have been used to jam through partisan nominees. But we’ve got to look at our federal courts as a whole, Rachel. Because we’ve seen hundreds of conservative judges put on circuit courts and district courts all over this country in the last four years, in many cases, too young, too unqualified, and too far right to be allowed to sit peaceably without our re-examining the process, the results, and the consequences.”

Just a tad unhinged.

Wow. Just to note, this is exactly why those judges get lifetime appointments.

How is it that in a country of 330 million people, we manage to elect some of the dumbest among us to 'serve?'

He is trying to normalize unconstitutional behavior. Dems love to make threats.
Feeling disrespected, Democrats are threatening acts of retaliation in changing the Supreme Court or the Senate. But the most unhinged was the idea to impeach Amy Coney Barrett after she takes her seat. This option was raised by columnist Norman Ornstein, who wrote that if she “immediately votes for voter suppression” after rising to the Supreme Court, “she should quickly be impeached” because President Trump “asked her openly to act to tilt the scales of the election.”

These a-holes for some reason believe that the leftists have some inherent right or entitlement to have a left-leaning judicial branch in perpetuity.
As soon as it's tilt MAY be heading to the right, now it's time to run around and try all these crackpot schemes cooked up in the fevered halls of academia.
Get a flippin grip. ACB hasn't ruled on a single case yet.

Look at the Kavanaugh hearings and you have your answer. Who would put themselves through that?

Like Tonto told the Long Ranger, "what do you mean WE white man". It's not we it's the stupid idiots that ONLY watch the regular MSM news (which anyone with a brain which they don't have) digest.
These people are helped by the Leftist propaganda machine and so are voted in and Demoncraps eat it up hook, line and sinker.

The Democrats don't have a monopoly on stupid politicians. They just never get rid of theirs.

What’s wrong with Delaware?
A sitting senator threatening federal judges with violence? Isn’t there a law against that?

Just because Barrack the Magical Was too lazy to appoint judges... doesn’t mean demons get un-appoint sitting judges.

Reid changes rules. Bad move on Dem's part.
Obama left scores of judicial appointments open. Bad move of Dem's part.
Trump nominates and Republicans fill open seats per constitutional authority.
Media and Dems try to re-define this as "court-packing".
Dems want to change more rules.
Dem lawmakers and media are truly despicable and the enemy of democracy.

These are the same people that screamed bloody murder at Sarah Palin for “targeting a district”. The left is so full of disingenuous, lying, filthy scumbags that the devil can’t keep up with all his minion...

Well, I would like someone to ask him - “so your belief is that Trump has made all these appointments with more conservative judges, correct? So you’re saying that in doing so he has created an imbalance, right? That would mean that he has replaced liberal judges with conservative ones, right? If that’s the case, doesn’t that also imply that before he appointed all these judges that the court had been left leaning? Can you tell me when you were calling for more balance when that was the case?

Blame Obama. His arrogant out over his skis sorry ass is the reason Trump had so many openings. Obama really thought he was king and would just appoint his successor. Clown show.
