Trump Has Quietly Appointed 25% Of Circuit Court Judges As Smug Liberals Celebrate ‘Merry Impeachmas’

1045

While the smug left clinks champagne for “Merry Impeachmas” after the House passed articles of impeachment against President Trump, they’re fast losing the battle when it comes to America’s judicial landscape.

Even if 20 GOP Senators somehow flipped on Trump and he was removed from office, he’s already appointed 25% of sitting US circuit court judges, not to mention given us a conservative Supreme Court - after Senate Republicans stalled in 2016 on confirming Obama’s choice to replace the late justice Antonin Scalia, Merrick Garland.

According to the Washington Post:

Trump nominees make up 1 in 4 U.S. circuit court judges. Two of his picks sit on the Supreme Court. And this past week, as the House voted to impeach the president, the Republican-led Senate confirmed an additional 13 district court judges.

In total, Trump has installed 187 judges to the federal bench. -Washington Post

And as the Post notes, “Trump’s mark on the judiciary is already having far-reaching effects on legislation and liberal priorities.”

For example, last week a Trump appointee on the 5th Circuit court of Appeals was one of two judges to strike down a key provision of the Affordable Care act. The case could move next to the Supreme Court, where two of the nine justices are Trump-appointed conservatives.

The 13 circuit courts are the second most powerful in the nation, serving as a last stop for appeals on lower court rulings, unless the case is taken up by the Supreme Court. So far, Trump has appointed 50 judges to circuit court benches. Comparatively, by this point in President Obama’s first term, he had confirmed 25. At the end of his eight years, he had appointed 55 circuit judges.

Trump’s appointments have flipped three circuit courts to majority GOP-appointed judges, including the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit in New York. The president has also selected younger conservatives for these lifetime appointments, ensuring his impact is felt for many years. -Washington Post

Spearheading the effort to fill benches with conservatives is Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) - who is “almost singularly focused on reshaping the federal judiciary,” having fast-tracked two Senate rule changes which speed up the confirmation process, despite objections from Democrats.

Leave no vacancy behind,” McConnell has publicly stated.

McConnell has bragged that blocking Garland in the off-chance Trump won the 2016 election was one of his greatest achievements. Consequently, Trump appointed conservative Justice Neil M. Gorsuch to fill Scalia’s seat.

“I’ve always heard, actually, that when you become President, the most — single most important thing you can do is federal judges,” said Trump at a November White House event to celebrate his “federal judicial confirmation milestones.”

“Now, President Obama was very nice to us. He gave us 142 empty positions. That’s never happened before,” Trump joked in the Oval Office on Thursday. “But, as you know, that’s said to be the most important thing that a President has.”

What’s more, “There is only one circuit court vacancy left for Trump to fill, but more could open up next year. And if Trump wins in November, there will certainly be vacancies in his second term. There’s also the potential for additional openings on the Supreme Court. Ruth Bader Ginsburg, appointed by President Bill Clinton in 1993, is 86 and has had health problems. Justice Stephen G. Breyer, another Clinton pick, is also over 80,” according to the report.

This is not going well for the resistance.

    • I’ve read talk about Pelosi’s son involved in this Burisma. Will check it out. Thank you.

      GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!

      Wishing ALL a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy 2020! You think this is crazy now, just wait for 2020.

    Gee, kind of like how Comey cleared Hilary Clinton, lol. Nothing to see right?

    “The investigation came after an internal ethics report earlier this year alleged mismanagement and abuses of authority at the highest levels of the special U.N. agency for Palestinian “refugees” one year after the Trump administration suspended a $125 million contribution to its work.”

    Gee, this sounds like Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden and their Democratic ilk.

    “The report alleged senior management have been engaging in “sexual misconduct, nepotism, retaliation, discrimination and other abuses of authority, for personal gain, to suppress legitimate dissent, and to otherwise achieve their personal objectives.”

    Get us out of the UN, and get the UN out of the USA! Do NOT want my tax dollars going to terrorists.

    Gee, now I can figure out why in the New Budget, though lots went to the Military, the amnesty of Lebanese were hidden in the 2,600 pages. Thanks Tucker Carlson for that little tidbit last night on how impeachment hoax helped hide the passing of some UN pork.

    GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!

    Oh please, for the 1% of the population, get over yourself. We the People have had to bend over backwards for those who in my opinion are “confused”. We have had to pay for their surgeries, we have had to accommodate them in public places, schools. Heck, the “indian” Warren wants to accommodate them in jail allowing them to choice of whether they want go to into the “women’s” prison. And let’s not forget Warren’s once a year prayer in the Rose Garden, saying the names of those who died. The heck with the rest of us.

    You want to “change” into something you are not, not my problem. But studies say because of your DNA, no matter how many drugs you take, you are still what you were born as. Depression and suicide is a BIG problem with this kind of lifestyle.

    Justice is blind. Sorry Obama and the rest of the Democratic ilk feel stacking the deck for 1% is how it should be. Now AOC, THAT’s fascism.

    GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!

    So sorry Mr. Page, you were definitely smeared by a liar. But liars don’t apologize. He’s a disgusting piece of carbon waste. But hopefully one day, in front of an impartial judge you can sue this loser for defamation of character. And We the People can point and laugh when he’s behind bars in GITMO.

    You were unfortunately a pawn in a very Democratic liberal coup. Can’t wait to also see what Durham comes up with what Brennan did. Shame your boss used you as well. Haters hate and they will destroy anyone they can to make sure THEIR agenda is done.

    GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!
