Senate Democrats’ abandonment of Biden’s remaining appeals court nominees ensures that the federal judiciary won’t get its first-ever Muslim American appeals court judge anytime soon.
Lets put it this way.....if this were the Republicans they would make the deal and then confirm everybody they wanted anyways. They play to win. Time for the Democrats do the same.....screw the republicans and confirm everybody they can by any means necessary.
Democrats are stupid and give in too easily. They should be working many more hours a day and on weekends to get as many court nominees confirmes. The hell with going home for the holidays. We hired you to do a job...do it for a change! Chuck is past his prime if he ever had one. Anyone who can;t afford a pair of bifocal glasses is too well-paid. I am sure he is worth millions and his constitutents suffer because he is ineffective every day. Time for a new leader.
djt should be in prison not the White House. He will soil it again as he did the last time. MAGA's don't pay attention. I hope that the Palestinisns are the first to get deported thanks to the Michigan voters. Ilain Omar did not do them any favors by urging them not to vote for Kamala. She would have made peoples lives easier and appoined qualified people not nuts. I wonder what will happen with Dr Oz, RFK Jr and the rest of the wrecking crew he is putting in place. I doubt that foreign countries will share sensitive info with tulsi knowing she will give it to Vlad. Yes put the heads of hedge funds and oil companies in charge. You bet Donnie dumpster fire. Scary times ahead. Polio, measels, covid, whooping cough, etc. Rampant flu.
Wait. I’m not a lawyer, but if I understand this correctly, Democrats are willing to settle for district judge confirmations and forego appeals court judge confirmations so they can go home early? A district judge order is appealed to … an appeals court judge… who by this deal will all be white and more than likely Christian nationalists. How much closer to one-party-rule are Democrats willing to go? Or is there something else going on here? Could it be they’re all so f**king old that they’ll be gone before the s**t hits the fan?
I'm so disappointed that they aren't filling every judicial vacancy. The DOJ and Senate failed us in not prosecuting and convicting Trump (yes, thank you Merrick Garland and Joe Manchin), and now the Dems are letting their last drops of power drain away.
This is really informative and maddening. Damn it Schumer don't be so slick. Cortez Mastodon I met most of your campaign appeals with small donations. I didn't expect you to vote against our Appeals court nominees. A Manchin no vote means probably he thought our nominee would enforce laws protecting our environment. Maybe the nexus is coal, doesn't Nevada export energy from coal mining?
Wait a second. What I understood was that Schumer gave up on four nominees who weren’t going to make anyway to reduce procedural delays on the rest. If that’s the case then this criticism is ill-founded. If it isn’t the case you will have to establish that there were 51 votes for these four.

Don't blame Ilhan Omar or Palestinian American voters, blame our support for flattening Gaza.

"The bad news is that Senate Democrats won’t be fighting for more of them."
Actually, that should be restated to say "...Chuck Schumer won't be fighting..."
One must ask: is there a real Opposition Party in the Senate with Schumer as Minority "Leader"?

I have always said that Schumer is weak, weak, weak…

The cowardice of my so-called friends terrifies me far more than the obvious perfidy of the enemy.
