2 judges in 6 months? is that aggressive? Democrats need to learn a lesson or two about aggression from the rethuglicans or we will NOT have a democracy in 10 years
Corporate Democrats are rightwing sympathizers.
@AliensAreReal TTSA Democrats are ignorant. The OC proves it. You have to have openings before you can fill the seat. Pretty obvious. What they should be saying is we’re not going to be as stoopid as Odumma and leave dozens of seats vacant when we lose our majority in 2022. Fill them or Mitch McConnell will
Aggressively doesn’t mean two judges. They should take advantage of their majority.
Need openings first. Too bad for democrats
Speed and youth, I’m sure the black guy is eminently qualified but he looks like he’s at retirement age already
If we know Republicans don’t care about law
If we know Republicans wont be stopped by morality
If we know Republicans want to murder us
If we don’t end their existence
Logically, should we just surrender and obey the Republicans?
45 was appointing several each week. Schumer acquiesced.
He had no choice. He wasn’t the Majority Leader.
IQ45 did not appoint any judges … he is far too stupid to do that or know even which judges to look at. It was all done by Moscow Mitch and the ultra conservative Federalist Society. Chump would have appointed Russians and mafia members if he would have made the judicial choices.
State Media… Earlier today they reported that Democrats were working sluggishly. Now it’s aggressively. Such a transparent brainwashing going on.
To slow and not enough. Where is this speed you talk about? Don’t see it.
How is doing practically nothing “working aggressively”. Unless they put 300 judges in in a few months, the Dems are doing nothing, as always.
Misnomer—just two judges in 6 months ain’t being “aggressive.” More like the MSM trying to give Sit-On-His-Hands Biden some “victories.”
We got a long way to go I know it’s only been 2 judges so far but hopefully we can get over 300 more by the end of his 8 year term
We may only have the Senate until 2022. We gotta get going NOW!!!
Thank you for bringing this subject to light. It is extremely important to have intelligent professionals in judgeship positions.
One judge in 4.5 months at that rate you might get 12. Republicans did 230 under Trump. You need to get moving.
I’VE BEEN POISONED.
NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE.
Sergeant Robert Justin alford green where is my two daughters karee and Jahmela and my 7 grandchildren and what have you done to them.
They need to work on the DOJ.
Slave owners party must be eliminated once and for all. By any means necessary
Moscow Mitch did away with the filibuster on federal judgeships. So why aren’t the Dems using that same rule to do as Mitch did and run thru their judgeships?
Time to fire all of Congress and replace them with real people
Fill court vacancies with young, progressive judges!
Rebalance means load it to the left. Be honest. Lying is degrading. At least try to save your dignity
Need to keep moving forward, agressively and quickly. Look for young, qualified nominees. ⚖️
