  • The article discusses the impact of President Donald Trump’s return to the White House on federal judicial nominations. Key points include:

    • President Biden’s diverse judicial appointments are likely to be reversed under Trump’s second term.
    • Trump’s previous judicial nominees were predominantly white and male, with 85% being white and 80% being men.
    • Currently, there are 41 current and 8 future judicial vacancies, mostly in district courts and in states with Republican senators.
    • Some Democratic-appointed judges have rescinded their conditional retirements to prevent Trump from choosing their replacements.
    • The Republican-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee, chaired by Chuck Grassley, will oversee the confirmation process.
    • Democrats have limited power to delay nominations but can use procedural tactics to slow down the process.
    • The confirmation process typically takes at least two months, but can be longer.
    • Senate Democrats, now outnumbered 53 to 47, are unlikely to defeat nominees but can make the process challenging for Republicans.

    The article predicts significant changes in the federal judiciary under Trump’s second term, with a shift away from the diversity achieved during Biden’s presidency.












  • He sucks and we all knew that. But here’s the fucked up thing…

    Imo, this is the first documented fake “journalist” embedding themselves in what is essentially military aggressions on the mil’s own soil and pretty much against its own people. We see these turdbags embedded with the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan (Geraldo was never a real journalist)… and this is kind of like that. We are now at the point where the right feels comfortable enough with this shit to start televising the abuse on groups of people they hate.
