Is there a central website with the info on all the shit stain judges trump has confirmed?

[EveHammond13]

Wouldn't that be a useful resource for holding Senators accountable, as even the slim media coverage of it is currently being drowned out (Menashe)?

A handy way to tweet out names & short bios of these dirty racist judges could help hold feet to the fire...every little bit helps.


If you were building such a website, what would you call it? Some thoughts:

GOPFuckery dot com

UnfuckTheCourts dot com

RatsInTheCorn dot com


Any other ideas????

1. for starters there's this:

As of December 3, 2019, the United States Senate has confirmed 165 Article III judges nominated by President Trump, including 2 Associate Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, 48 judges for the United States Courts of Appeals, 113 judges for the United States District Courts, and 2 judges for the United States Court of International Trade.[2] There are currently 55 nominations to Article III courts awaiting Senate action, including 4 for the Courts of Appeals, 50 for the District Courts and 1 for the Court of International Trade.[3] There is currently 1 vacancy on the U.S. Courts of Appeals, 86 vacancies on the U.S. District Courts, 2 vacancies on the U.S. Court of International Trade,[3] and 16 announced federal judicial vacancies that will occur before the end of Trump's first term (3 for the Courts of Appeals and 13 for District Courts).[4] Trump has not made any recess appointments to the federal courts.

7. 165 is a lot for less than three years

Obama appointed 329 in his two terms. W got 327, and Clinton 378. Poppy Bush got 193 in his one, 4-year term.

10. yes, in Obama's 2 terms that's true

McConnell and Trump have already overseen the confirmation of more than 150 judges — a whopping 40 more than former President Barack Obama had confirmed at a similar point in his tenure

2. yep, every single one of them needs to be re-scrutinized if the republic remains intact

once Agent Orange is gone, if we ever have the presidency and senate majority again, there has to be a full and detailed retrospective of each and every Trump appointee at every level. qualifications reviewed, congressional testimony checked for lies, etc.

websites like you're proposing would be exceedingly helpful in such efforts going forward.

8. Trump doesn't confirm judges

He picks names from a list compiled by the ultra-right Heritage Foundation or some similar group. Moscow Mitch is the lowlife that rams their confirmation through a senate that apparently doesn't contain any Republicans with backbones.

So call it Moscow Mitch's Legacy, lest we forget his role in destroying the country.

11. yes, mcturtle is ramming them thru and this is huge

... McConnell is planning to confirm at least 30 conservative judicial nominees before year’s end, which will bring joy to Trump’s base and build a legacy that will outlast both of their political careers.

Rest assured McConnell and Trump have no plans to do that. So while Democrats are obsessing over impeachment, and government funding remains at an impasse over funding for Trump's border wall, McConnell is going to stick to his knitting and steamroll Democrats with another wave of judicial confirmations.

That’s why they’re redoubling their efforts to fill the judiciary with as many young, conservative ideologues as possible.
