Summary
Two Democratic-appointed federal judges have unretired after the 2024 election, preventing Trump from appointing replacements.
The judges’ decisions were influenced by the Senate’s “blue slip” policy, which requires support from home-state senators for presidential nominees.
Republican leaders, including Mitch McConnell, have criticized the judges’ actions as partisan, while Democrats are rushing to confirm as many judges as possible before Trump takes office.
Judges should be nonpartisan
Nothing is non-partisan. Conservatives attack reality, truth, and science, because these compete with their worldview.
If you look at my post history, I consider(ed) myself a non-Christian conservative.
I just want a functioning government, man. The only way to fix conservatives is to have a leftist party so center is center again.
My views haven’t changed. I shouldn’t be aligning more and more with democrats.
And Donald Trump should not be president of the US. Mitch McConnell violates senate norms. The federal government is a laughing stock. Instead of subverting laws as a norm, we need to enforce existing laws.
In a world where every last thing is political, the non-partisan person is merely hypothetical.
Put another way: non-partisan is a political stance
My original comment was too glib so here’s the truth. So long as the right is viciously opposed to democratic norms, consensus based governance, and the rule of law when it suits their needs, we don’t have the luxury of purity tests. Judges aren’t non-partisan. Nothing is non-partisan.
Tell that to Republicans and who they put on the SC. Yes judges SHOULD be nonpartisan, but the highest court in the land is a fucking cesspool of corruption. Any judiciary left should be protected against their tyranny.
Yeah at the very list ACB and the boofing guy should get gone
