GOP-Appointed Judges Will Shape Courts For Decades Expert Says - AM Joy - MSNBC

Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell are apparently working together to place as many federal judges as possible, as these GOP-appointed judges will shape courts for decades. Judith Browne Dianis, executive director of the Advancement Project, joins Joy Reid to discuss.

1. What the GOP isn't seeing is that mazny of these judges support the LAW more than their Party.

You can be sure DT thought the SCOTUS would be a lock on HIS wishes and the most recent rulings went against him. Certainly the majority of them will at least lean right, and Joe is going to have to make judicial appointments for any vacancies a top priority. When we win the Senate, that will make it much easier to do. McTurtle wouldn't let he Senate vote on many of Obama' nomi8nees so we MUST vote HIM out! At the very least make him the minority leader.

2. The opposition in the Senate is going to plague us for many years to come

And you're right, it didn't just begin with Trump. I remember very well that McConnell's only objective was attempting to make Obama "a one-term president." He fortunately failed at that, but he sure made sure that little got through the Senate and he's still at it. Replacing McConnell and electing a Democratic majority has got to be one of our priorities.

4. A Democratic Senate sure will have their work cut out for them

With all those hundreds of bills languishing on McConnell's desk - for how long??

5. I hope if the Democrats have the house/senate and prez we don't languish with trying to be

bi partizan. Obama tried that and it did not work out well. McTurttle blocked him at every turn. At best we will have 2 years in the majority to undo what tRump has screwed up. Historically the house or senate will change party's after 2 years. That's our timeline. Now what to change in those two years and the priority is the question... If we get a full four years that would be a bonus
YMMV

6. Do you really think the voters will forget the Republican malfeasance so soon?

I sure won't and it's up to our candidates to remind them. Trump and his lack of leadership won't be that easy to forget...

7. Agree. It's up to the elected officials to get the job done if we get all three houses toute suite!
