Heard this morning that Moscow Mitch is about to make a family friend deemed unqualified a judge

So basically, they can make anyone they want a judge? Biden needs to run on doing everything in his power to impeach those who aren't qualified for the position.

our best case scenario gives us the white house and majority in both houses of congress, but nowhere near 2/3rds of the senate.

best we could do is expand some of the courts and add more seats to dilute the power of these right-wing idiots.

But president Biden will be able to put up qualified liberal judges MUCH easier then President Obama did. We have Senator Reid to thank for that and I truly do thank him. If not for the rule change Senator Reid implemented, repugs would once again stop all president biden’s Picks. And they would have no doubt!!!!
