Very bad news. Menashi was confirmed by evil Republicans.

I concurred with your conclusion a year ago......WASF

PLEEEEAZE send us an aneurysm!!! And HURRY!!

prayer.

I pray that he is taken.

Vote for Democrats to fix it. That's what's needed from all of us, not black-pilling others with inappropriate despair.

It also won't remove the other unqualified judges that Trump nominated, and the Republicans rubber stamped!!!

Judges are removable. Those who want to keep their jobs, and that's almost all, will do what they have to do to keep them.

Give them LIBERAL GOVERNMENT to fear and obey, and they'll toe the legal lines or be gone.

Btw, premature despair is...premature. This is hardly the first time good people have had to deal with corrupt and extremist judges. Means are built into the systems, have been from the very beginning and added to -- it's the power to use them we need.

VOTE DEMOCRAT TO FIX IT. TELL EVERYONE ELSE TO ALSO. For each of us, it's really that simple.

That will never happen in modern America. There are not enough states Democrats can legitimately win Senate seats in to give them that many.

There's no telling what sea change might result from open hearings.

Even if it takes 50 years (and I'm 60 now) it's worth the fight.

is so hard to understand?

Anyone who can count senators can get the concept of how 67 senators get elected.

This stuff drives me crazy. Frankly, I have to respect our RW neighbors who vote religiously for very wrong things more than I do those who enable what they're doing by insisting there's no point in trying to stop them because we're doomed to lose. Two very different, very serious problems, but one is strong and determined and votes strength.

He is currently a Congressman from Florida who is on the Rules Committee (who is now unfortunately undergoing an Ethics investigation - https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142395394)

Judges can be removed but it depends on who that person is. Democrats briefly had 60 seats in the Senate (for about 4 months) in 2009. It would be a difficult thing to do to reach 67 (even if some were "moderate" GOP), but not unheard of.

This isn't the first or the last time we fight for a government worth having. Our turn may be here, and so be it!

Let's play hardball presuming a big D tsunami win in elections next year.

IMO, judges may be lifetime appts, but there not impervious to review and, if necessary, prosecution.

criminal offenses, not to ideologically biased jurisprudence. There is essentially no possibility that any of these judges will be removed from office before they decide to retire.

I suspect too many judgements that get overturned might result in some type of review .

The nightmare of it... is only beginning...

I'm speechless except to say the American experiment is failing.

😭

Something is very wrong with this.

& if the way they portray some of these Trump judges is accurate,we are in a world of hurt. They are ignorant of court procedures to the point they can be easily manipulated by both sides.

He can't die or get voted out soon enough.

never

We need to live up to Congressman Cummings high standards.

So, no harm, no foul.

Obstruction works.

I suggest Dems do the same at every opportunity. They started a war and we didn't want to fight.

Or something

Trump is the enabler. McConnell is the enforcer.

Moscow Mitch, he can go to hell. Vile POS.

If so he will make an impeachable action in no time.

Give Rump and the Rethugs 5 more years of loading it up and you have not see anything yet.

If they can take the SCOTUS to 7-2 or even 8-1 (Sotomayor has really bad diabetes, already requiring multiple hospitalisations) hardcore RW (and refresh Thomas' seat with a much younger RWer) and also keep on packing the lower tiers with RWNJ's, it will more than likely cause an eventual rending apart of the union itself, sometime before 2040. There is zero chance that the hard Blue states will continue to exist for decade after decade in a federally-mandated, nationwide-enforced radical RW theocracy.Think all civil rights (racially, gender, sexual orientation, etc etc) gained post-Brown v. Board (and probably Brown itself) reversed and NOT just devolved to the States, but dictated nationwide.

So far, Drumpf has had (per Wikipedia's count that they tabulated from here - https://www.uscourts.gov/judges-judgeships/judicial-vacancies/current-judicial-vacancies) 162 judges (after 3 years).

At the end of Obama's 2 terms (remember he was in for 2 terms), he had appointed 329 - and that was with all the obstruction.



So what has changed now is that rather than 9 of the 13 Appeals courts being (D) and 4 (R), it's now 8 of them as (D) and 5 (R). Before Obama was elected, those Circuit courts were 12 (R) and 1 (D).

So if we can insure he doesn't get back in, we can cut this off at the pass.

I have had to post this over and over and over and over here on DU because of the unfortunate lack of this info being put out there and the continual whining that Obama and Democrats "did nothing".
