Just last week, though, Durbin voted to confirm two of Trump’s nominees, David Clay Fowlkes and Aaron Peterson, to serve as life-tenured federal judges. And he’s not the only one: During Trump’s second term, 19 Democrats have voted to confirm at least one of Trump’s nominees. New Hampshire Senators Maggie Hassan and Jeanne Shaheen have voted to confirm six and seven nominees, respectively, and Rhode Island senator Sheldon Whitehouse, who sits on the Judiciary Committee, has voted for five. Among Senate Democrats, Durbin and Virginia Senator Tim Kaine are tied for the lead in this ignominious category with eight yes votes apiece.
I know! I know! Because Schumer’s a worthless controlled-opposition piece of shit!
Vichy Democrats
Dogey Confederates.
Because its one big party
I’ll give you three gue$$e$.
Epstine or money, usally both but hear maybe just 1 .
Because they’re taking campaign finance money from the same sources as the GOP.
This is the answer.
Their “controlled opposition” setting is permanently ON.
“controlled
opposition”Ftfy. An opposition party actually has to oppose .
Controlled opposition is just performative opposition. They don’t actually oppose anything. When given power they “fumble” the ball at the 1 yard line and inevitably lose the next election for incompetence.
Performative opposition party.
LARParty
They don’t work for us. Simple as.
David Clay Fowlkes has a history as a career prosecutor and state attorney. He passed 54 to 40.
Cristian Stevens is the same, a private lawyer and then an assistant attorney for the state and finally for the last 5 years a judge.
If you want to know why then look no further than the supreme court. Look at his cabinet, too. Look at Pete Hegseth. If the GOP finds a loyal partisan then they demonstrably do not need permission from the DNC to get them into power. Engaging in these discussions and voting on compromises is damage control.
And he’s not the only one: During Trump’s second term, 19 Democrats have voted to confirm at least one of Trump’s nominees.
I am not familiar with the nominees in this case. Are they the typical Trump unqualified pieces of shit?
I read the sentence quoted and thought “that sounds a little bit too much like team sports.” But then I also thought about how ridiculous the real world has become, so maybe zero support was the correct amount.
Partly I wonder if it’s just because some people like to watch the world burn…
“Your dad and I are for the jobs the comet will provide”
Read Marx and Lenin, lol
If there are not enough judges, do you think the government will stop arresting people? No, the judicial system will just grind to a halt which will make it even easier for Trump to break the law.
I don’t see how appointing judges who’ll rule that Trump didn’t break the law helps anything.
They do other things besides just rule on Trump. There are a lot of crimes and lawsuits that need judges. Without that the whole justice system collapses.
Besides that, quite a few of these judged have decided against Trump. Just last Wednesday a Trump appointed judge blocked an attempt from Trump to get Michigan’s voter rolls. Once they have their sweet lifetime appointments, a Trump has nothing to offer them.
He’s also, what, 0 for 100 on nominating qualified candidates that faithfully execute their duties?
