Conservative Brief: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is relentlessly moving forward to confirm judges, apparently determined to get as many conservative judges into the judiciary across the nation while there is still time in the Trump presidency.
Since the November 3 election, the Senate has confirmed six district court nominees and McConnell wants to confirm judges who will take the positions vacated by the ascension of Justice Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit as well as the position vacated by the death of Judge Juan R. Torruella, who served on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, was appointed by President Ronald Reagan and was that court’s first Hispanic member.
President Trump has nominated Raúl M. Arias-Marxuach, who was nominated to the federal bench in May of 2019 and confirmed by the U.S. Senate on a 95-3 vote, to replace Torruella. The president nominated Thomas L. Kirsch II to replace Barrett.
The week of November 16, five Article III judges were confirmed by the Senate: Benjamin Beaton, Toby Crouse, Kristi Johnson, Kathryn Mizelle, and Stephen Vaden.
Judge Aileen Cannon was confirmed on November 12. read more
Go Yertle, so they can’t say you’re totally worthless.
McConnell is a traitor and should be dealt with like Pelosi.
Maybe McConnell is having an epiphany.
Is it ok to say that I’m as sick of this MOFO as I am my ex wife?
That’s saying a lot.
You could spin this negatively and say the senate will be lost in GA and Trump gone. I choose to look at it another way, Trump has made these guys want to win and they are not discounting the king knew the treachery he was dealing with and he will prevail. And when he does anyone that wasn’t faithful is in the cross hairs. Keep the faith.
are they conservative like john roberts or conservative like Amy Comey Bryant?
