Moscow Mitch cannot be allowed to install even one more reicht wing judge.

Even if we elect a democratic president in 2020 these judges will block every step of progress for the American people. It is time for Schumer and the Senate to put a stop to this.

He does not have strong leadership qualities. I also believe Schumer is compromised. Just my opinion.

That would at least stop anymore radicals from seeing a seat.

Turtle may not allow votes on them but it would stop this madness.

that decision on the wall should be enough to prove that these are activist judges, making ridiculous claims about original intent to support their legislation frim the bench.

Even if it's proven that Pres. Trump was born in downtown Moscow .. He's still the legitimate President until he is removed.

Even if the morons had been correct and proved that Pres. Obama had been born in Kenya, or wherever, everything he did prior to being removed would be valid and legitimate.

What makes a President legitimate is winning 270+ electoral votes and the actual president election done by the Electoral college.

In the 2016 election Congress certified the electoral result on January 6, 2017. That made Trump the legitimate President until he is removed, defeated (in 2019), resigns, or passes away.

this is going on.... (bolding for emphasis)

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Thursday set up votes on lifetime appointments for 19 judicial nominees next week, ...

Now McConnell is beginning to work his way through the 111 District Court vacancies even as the House heads home for the summer this week.
...
The Senate is also set confirm Kelly Craft as ambassador to the United Nations and David Norquist as deputy Defense secretary and is likely to approve a two-year budget deal struck by Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.

“Not bad for a week’s work and that’s what the Senate will accomplish before we adjourn for August,” McConnell said on the floor.



they are successfully changing the courts FOREVER in their favor.
