Summary
Senate Democrats are working to confirm up to 30 of President Biden’s federal judicial nominees before the new Republican-led Congress is seated on January 3.
With Biden’s 214 judicial appointments so far, he could surpass the number Trump achieved in his first term if pending nominees are confirmed.
This rush is driven by Democrats’ desire to solidify Biden’s legacy of liberal appointees, especially as Trump prepares to assume office with a Republican Senate. The tight schedule will depend on high Democratic attendance and the support of moderate Republicans.
Trump, meanwhile, has called for Democrats to halt approvals, sparking accusations of hypocrisy.
In their defense, they did try to get RBG to resign at the end of Obama’s term, but she refused, thinking Hillary would win.
She was wrong. Dead wrong. Unfortunately.
At the end of Obama’s term wouldn’t have made any difference because by then McConnell was committed to holding the seat open for the next Republican.
But people called for her to resign back during the middle of Obama’s presidency, when the Democrats controlled the Senate, and he hubristic old ass decided to fuck everyone else by hanging onto power and prestige and trying to be even more historically important.
Woman had a bigger ego than Trump and Musk, and I really hope that historical opinion of he fucking remembers that.
Fuck the DNC for propping up a dynasty (Clintons) to follow another (Bushs) instead of bringing an actual leftist to fight the all right. Fuck Hillary Clinton for embodying it.
Circling the drain.
