It's a program that will affect U.S. law for decades.With a boost from the Republican-led Senate, President Trump has now confirmed 200 federal judges.
She pointed to Trump's record in appointing judges to the federal appeals court, one step below the Supreme Court. Over eight years, President Obama confirmed 55 appellate picks. Trump already has installed 53 in just four years.Democrats said there's a reason for that startling number — Republican stonewalling of the previous president.
Many of the Trump nominees are in their 30s and 40s, not anywhere near retirement age. There is no minimum age restriction to serve as a judge.
JC thanks for not voting 4 years ok.
RichMitch MoscowMitch MoscowMitchMcTreason donisdumb
Wonder if it's possible to get rid of judges with investigations. Like if they're found to be in the pockets of others.
invalidate every single judicial appointment following the 2020 election. they were all done in bad faith.
Well sounds like we weed them out come November. I think there grab for power is gonna back firer on them watch. Being unqualified most will fall by their own works
What does Mitch McConnell’s hand picked judge do when presented with evidence UPS is blackmailing pilots? Absolutely nothing, SAFETY of UPS pilots & population in general is outweighed by the fact that UPS is a major contributor (4th largest) to McConnell’s CORRUPT campaign!!
Excellent! Keep up the fantastic work!
It was McConnell who stole a SCOTUS seat, blocked Obama nominations & packed the courts with the most qualified judges ever. Remember that the next decision from a circuit court that denies you the rights you should have but won't under the ultraconservative, Federalist Society
TermLimits for all judges and politicians. Presidents should disclose taxes and be drug tested every month
MoscowMitch strikes again.
Life terms need to be done away with.
Easily the scariest and most impactful thing he’s done in office.
Keep up the good work.
Recall every single fucking one of them.
President Obama put 329 judges in. Take solace in the fact that the orange scourge will be out of office before he can approach that.
Isn't that special. We allowed all of this to happen by continuously voting for the same officals. The same officials that laughed in 1999 at Trump's presidential Reform party, now embrace him. Joe 'Drug Czar' Biden that made the drug & police policies since Reagan. We did this.
We're fucked
I’m sure creepy stuff will come out of most of their closets and will be able to get rid of them
Many of whom were rated as unqualified by the ABA. This should be in the headline. MoscowMitch can't find qualified people with his radical beliefs.
This must really frost the Democrats. All those judges who are likely to actually uphold the law as it was written...rather than legislating from the bench.
Just makes me want to spit. (Ok, makes me want to do more than that, but....)
Trump isn’t going to be defeated. When Biden wins they will come up with another scheme, send it to the courts which will vote in their favor. We are at the point of the ballot or the bullet.
This is some scary shit. Crazy people putting us back into the dark ages. The nazis have literally infiltrated the US.
The entire constitution should be rewritten to ensure justice in the law
And all bigots from hell. We will suffer with their hatrid for years to come. Unless we yank them out once trumps is gone for illegal placements.
Many unqualified and completely inexperienced. So much integrity.
TermLimits The system is Corrupt &B Broke
I don't understand why life terms are even a thing
Until Democrats pack the courts. Once they find their testicles.
NPR just spelled out why they are doing everything in their media manipulative power to remove Trump from office.
I feel everything tRump will be overturned. It’s imperative. Much like tRump is trying to erase everything our first black president accomplished, we MUST overturn and bury anything this impeached, morally bankrupt, racist, narcissistic, deranged lying con man has destroyed.
lostelementgems Moscow Mitch strikes again.
Let’s do away with this life term nonsense.
senatemajldr will be unemployed come November 3rd! America has had enough of your destruction!
🤮
Haven’t many been deemed unqualified by their peers?
Send all of the trump appointed judges to Alabama to party.
Reprehensible considering how many sat vacant under McConnell while he held Obama’s nominees! Mcconnell refuses to do his job for anyone but trump...they both need to go. Please vote blue in November; vote for candidates who will do their jobs.
This should have been left for the next president just like Mitch did to Obama. He made the rule then he should also follow it!
Almost all are grossly unqualified partisan hacks. They will fuck with our laws for decades
And rated unqualified by the ABA.
There should never be lifetime appointments!
Oh dear lordt!
Is there anything that can be done about this.
This is terrible. 🤯
Just the way TRUMP world wants it - McConnell has to go and we need someone younger
joemailman when we take back the WH and the Senate, we are going to pack on about 6 more judges, ala FDR...VoteBidenToSaveAmerica
Not really, they can all be fired by a simple act of Congress.
All these judges are pretty much all ultra-nationalist. At the state/local lvl they're the partisan stooges that will help block all bills that support the working class. I'm not putting up any Biden signs or bumper stickers but the dems are sure as hell getting my vote.
Pathetic
No elected officials should be life time. Including Supreme Court. This is one of the charges our Nation needs.
MoscowMitchMcConnell is 78 years old, 36 years in Congress, only served 37 days in NationalGuard. He is owned by China & Russia & WallStreet, he is more dangerous than Trump. A millionaire still sucking off the teat of taxpayers, wanting white power to reign our country
Great news
Unless they get COVID and expire.
This a threat to the freedom of the United States of America by our own elected dictatorship!!
Happily there is a way to remove them.
Yes everything is awful.
Tax cuts and the dismantling of environmental protection regulations done for GOP donors, stacking the courts -including SCOTUS- with unfit judges who will legitimize illegal actions. This is why McConnell will not remove Trump. He is still their useful idiot.
They way they where shoved through I am sure they messed up and easily removed most of them
This has always been Lord Turtle's ultimate goal so he got all he wanted. The rape of America.
I hope the 130k people who died was worth all this MoscowMitchMcConnell
Most of them rated unqualified by the American Bar Association. I feel this is a crime against our democracy, our humanity, and our children's future. DitchMitch
Why...why...so a sacrifice an entire democracy for judges? I hope every Republican is fired in November. Every last one of them!
Conservative Judges is exactly what America needs... YouAintBlack
Although he’s damaged this country in innumerable ways, several of which will take years to overcome, the judiciary will have the longest legacy.
Forgotten is MoscowMitch rolled back the filibuster of 60 votes to get unqualified judges appointed. 🤔 GOPBetrayedAmerica
Right wing judges ruining lives long after Agent Orange and Moscow Mitch are dead and buried.
This reminder never ceases to make me throw up in my mouth.
MoscowMitchMustGo MoscowMitch
Wager on how many of these 200 federal judges will be booted from the bench and land in prison? TeamTrump Team_Mitch NAACP_LDF TalkTheTruth
Handle your shit, Kentucky
Na wa! Conniving crew senatemajldr
Welp that’s what happens when you out play the Democrats 🤷🏾♂️
Great. So our demise is guaranteed. Someone play Taps - -the US as we knew it is OVER.
This should be the other way around. 'With the help of Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell has now confirmed 200 federal judges, delivering his long sought victory of controlling the judicial branch.'
No person should be guaranteed a job for life.
Qualifications review is in order. senatemajldr legacy is placing junk justices. Volume over quality.
This has been the goal all along.
We take over in November. Expose them for their inadequacies. Remove. The end.
It's true they will create a lasting legacy.
Why does McConnell always look like the most corrupt and crooked Disney villain, a smarmy, saccharine-sweet bag of rat poison? Because he is.
That's why they put up with Trump's stench.
I hope the ones rated unqualified by the ABA will be impeached and removed by a Dem Congress, for starters.
There’s hope yet: Maybe most of them will die from Covid.
When Biden wins and Dems take over the Senate, job 1 is impeaching some of those douchebags
Thank God
The most unqualified! It is a travesty to our department of justice. he does not care about our democracy, just making a mockery of it.
And they are probably useless.
This was always the point for Mitch & Co. It was always about the GOP owning the judiciary. This is why they excuse the treason and the bigotry and the racism.
400 bills passed by the House languish on McConnell's desk, refusing to put before the Senate, while he stacks the courts with partisan judges. The Founding Fathers didn't have checks in place because thay never imagined such blatant corruption.
america will fall/govt overthrown before these guys last even 15-20
Fantastic
This was the deal set in place when Asshat was the nominee in 2016. Give us our judges and tax cuts for the rich and we will protect you from prosecution.
Sorry this is so troubling to you
Yeah when have the three woman on SCOTUS ever issued a surprised vote on a major topic that would upset Dems.....Never!
Yayyyyyy
End the life term. It does more harm than good.
And what's really going to change by this.. Nothing.
Duh huh. It's in the job description.
This is not just on McConnell. He has the support of the GOP Senate. They have all laid down the duty of their elected positions to give trump all he wants. It started with denying Obama his rightful duty to put Garland forth for SCOTUS. We're going to pay big for this.
As most are not qualified I am in hopes that when a decent admin comes in we can nullify these mistakes.
How many are even qualified? Not many. The damage that the TrumpGOP has done to America will last a generation.
USA is a lost cause
They aren’t qualified for the job
That’s depressing
Since Trump and McConnell have found ways to dismantle everything else, can’t help but wonder if a new President could put term limits on those lifetime appointments?
True, but another four years of Trump and average life expectancy will decline to 31.2 years.
All tainted and need to be reevaluated.
And that’s their idea of draining the swamp? These unqualified quislings feed off the taxpayer teat for the rest of their lives. I despise GOP VoteBlueToSaveAmerica
Elections have consequences
America is so doomed. Maybe when Drumpf is actually convicted, after he is gone from the Presidency, many of those appointments can be nullified. impeached TR45SON
200 activist judges
Yes huge thank you to those who sat out the last election or who wrote in Harambe or their grandma instead of voting for HRC. Elections have consequences
senatemajldr before work...
Once Trump is defeated, there needs to be a full court campaign to expose these judges for the unqualified hacks they are. Take each one out one by one. Make it so painful that they have to all resign in disgrace.
Hallelujah! DefundNPR
meanwhile
Giddy up !
One generation means 30 years 😞
That's easy we just vote them all out and remove them all. Flip the senate to flip off the racist bunkerboy
When dems take it all back we impeach them all
Here comes the religious right to lovingly force us to live like they do.
Mitch has pus running through his veins.
And none are Black
