I see some absent GOP senators, however not all, have returned to attempt to assist sluggish Dems’ speedy confirmations of Biden’s judges.
The Senate simply confirmed Rebecca Pennell to be a U.S. district choose. Vote was 50-48.
Manchin voted no.
2 absent GOP senators: Ted Cruz + Mike Braun.”
5 GOP senators missed votes yesterday.
After which Trump yelling about it on social media and demanded all of them get again to the Senate ASAP and forestall Dems from confirming any extra judges “earlier than Inauguration Day.
The GOP… can’t try this. However nonetheless. Some got here again.
The rationale why Trump is melting down over Democrats transferring at warp velocity on judicial confirmations is that if Democrats affirm the remainder of Biden’s nominees, there’ll solely be 36 judicial openings for Trump to fill throughout his subsequent time period in workplace. Biden may have stuffed nearly all accessible openings exterior of s few dozen.
Not solely is Trump going to enter workplace as a lame duck, however he received’t be capable to end his mission of destroying the courts by filling them with unqualified lackeys.
