With the help of Mitch McConnell, Trump has confirmed 200 federal judges. Each one has a life term — a legacy that could last for a generation. And they'll be ruling on cases like abortion access, climate change, voting rights, LGBTQ rights and more.

"Filling all of these circuit seats is an unmitigated success, no downside to that," said Severino, who leads the Judicial Crisis Network, a group that pushes for confirmation of Trump judges."Let's, as leader McConnell has said, 'Leave no vacancy behind.'"

"McConnell confirmed the fewest judges since President Truman during Obama's last two years in office," said Christopher Kang, who vetted judicial nominees in the Obama White House."So the reason President Trump had 200 judgeships to fill in the first place is because McConnell obstructed." 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.

"Even if Donald Trump is gone from office in January, these judges are going to be ruling for decades to come," Kang said.

We must impeach Barr before the elections to get him on record

They are disgusting and it’s on

StirlingMorris

Can't wait to take a dump on this evil man's grave!

Smart.

Well this new judges may not have long life. There's a review performance rating on each of them. What other states have similar system? If you dont, get one now.

Moscow Mitch the son of a bitch

Just can’t get over how racist America is in the 21st century...

And many are grossly unqualified. Let the impeachments begin in January 2021.

Way to bias justice realDonaldTrump and all politicians. No possible way for Americans to say we live under equal justice for all. Our politicians have made the US constitution and democravy a total lie; and the World knows it because we can't even deal with a simple flu.

How can we fix that? How have some decisions been up to just Mitch? Wtf is going on?

Elections have consequences. From what I’ve gathered one African-American judge appointed. Kept America white again

As we donate to pay bail for protestors we will need to create a defense fund for Black people so that they can have access to lawyers that will fight for them in court.

We knew this. The greatest act of treason no one talks about. But I also blame the administration for not fighting for their candidates. Challenge the senate to do their fn job. Not like MoscowMitch was passing legislation in the Obama second term. He had time to confirm judges

senatemajldr obstructed Obama for 6 years, Obama should have fought him especially over MerrickGarland but failed to do so. 78 year old MoscowMitchMcConnell will watch from hell a generation of young White racist judges try to maintain WhiteSupremacy, may he burn in hell

Right on

McConnell forced it!!!! He is evil.

Worse is some aren't good lawyers. If professional assoc. says 'you're no good', you're probably not. A trial judge who never took a disposition let alone argued a case = not have experience needed to be fair & compassionate as well as legally minded

This should be illegal and an abuse of power.

I truly think once this insanity is over and a Republican compliance with 2016 Russian election interference, we can have Trump’s entire presidency made null and his every appointee removed from office. It really is not an outrageous request and has very valid grounds.

hissgldnmssr Total NPR fail. Wtf is, 'critics say' supposed to mean? It doesn't matter what anyone says about that or whether or not they are 'critics.' It's a simple FACT. Sadly, NPR obviously still stands for Nice Polite Republicans.

hissgldnmssr GOPTraitors

What a despicable anti-Constitutionalist.

hissgldnmssr Critics say?

McConnell has outmaneuvered the Dems at every turn

Exactly. This Is How Cheats And Con Men Operate. 'VOTE THEM ALL OUT'

Gotta love politics

Anything can be changed.

Dems will require impeachment ability for decades to come to undo this perversion of the judicial system. Some of these “judges” were never even lawyers. GOP Neanderthals gave us this crap so we must respond in kind - BLUE MATTER WHO.

I’ll say again they put young jurists On the courts with lifetime appointments there are going to be very disappointed in some cases. History proves it. Take a look at Supreme Court last couple weeks

Yes. McConnell’s goal has been achieved. Apart from the environmental pollution, the trauma to children in cages, and the mistrust of allies abroad, these stolen judgeships will be the longest lasting damage from trump’s regime. SCOTUS and more.

McConnell traitor to democracy forever.

Creep!!

This should be change, why dont we set terms for judges it is absurd that we have lifetime idiologs shoving their retrograde ideas into all of us that mayority doesnt agree on.... for example 70% of the country including conservatives support ACA but GOP hates it...

1: vote McConnell out with Trump. 2: vote in blue wave to control WH and Congress. 3: hold power long enough to flip majority of Supreme Court to libs. 4: spend the next several decades making sure lower court decisions by conservative judges get appealed all the way up to SC. 🤕

McConnell is scum

McConnell us scum

OF COURSE FOR PERSONAL BENEFITS, Crooked and RussiaMitch , more and investigations and Impeachment.

Is that Great!!!

Yes. Best President Ever.

antoni Let Moscow Mitch know payback will be a bitch.

JohnBarrowman Oh dear

McConnell is evil. We’re all screwed

MoscowMitch says he blocked them. He calls this whole thing his “judges project”. The man is vile.

Marbury v. Madison should be dead in the water for the next Democratic president. Justice Roberts has made his decision now let him enforce it.

Great job Mr. McConnell!

We should exact from every elected official the prioritizing of nonpartison scrutinizing all federal judges on behavior on/off the bench, with those demonstrating cause being impeached & replaced. In times past they got a pass, but for the next decade Congress must be proactive.

Goodbye filibuster. senatemajldr MoscowMitchMcConnell you burned it down. Dems will pave over it.

MOSCOW Mitch-destroyer of democracy!!!

Judges and politicians tango ...😮

It's a beautiful thing

Of course he did

We should exact from every electe official the prioritizing of nonpartison scrutinizing all federal judges on behavior on & off the bench, with those demonstrating cause being impeached & replaced. In times past they got a pass, but for the next decade Congress must be proactive.

This irritates the hell outta me....with any president. I don't think ANYONE should be a lifer in politics.

Well I think it’s save to say at least a third will be indicted at some point

southofgeorgia Unqualified judges can be removed and/or impeached for perjury. Lifetime doesn’t mean lifetime!!!!

Nice!

Mcconnell is as corrupted as they come. Look into how he and his wife have gotten rich off of kentucky tax dollars.

Someone please explain to me how it is even close to being legal in the United States to allow public officials to have a lifetime appointment to office? That's obscene, an un-American.

And meantime there is no meaningful way to hold crooked judges accountable.

Corruption at its most blatant! rewritethelaws

TRUMP refutes claims he is a by product of the 'Mental Midget Widget Factory.' Experts challenge him.

That’s how you play the long game

Oh well - that's how it works. At least McConnell didn't go nuclear like um.... HARRY REID.

Democrats champion Supreme Court Justice Ginsburg for holding on until a Democrat takes office so a liberal judge can replace her. The senate holding up judge appointments is just a larger scale version of that. Why the double standard?

Waaaaah. Cry baby NPR

VOTE HIM OUT——please please please Kentucky

LOSSANO Unless they are impeached

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

At least until we reach the annulment phase of this illegitimate presidency.

Harry Reid started this. Thank god Trump won and now stacking judicial system with qualified judges instead of activist judges that shit on US constitution.

Good.

Mitch McConnell has done more damage to our country than 10 Trumps combined

If there's one person I dislike more than Trump, this person is McConnell.

senatemajldr is despicable. He is a cheater.

McConnell is a douchebag RepublicansAreScum

About sums it up.

Correction: Following senate rule changes, started under Democrat leader Harry Reid, the current senate has approved 200 of Trump's federal judges.

Every time Trump says 'the system is rigged'.... he's projecting.

Thanks nqualified young judges!!

senatemajldr Come November the grim reaper needs to come for his career, send him and his corrupt wife SecElaineChao back to Kentucky!

The Senate doesn't owe the president his appointments.

woke culture virtue signaling Lmao, good luck with these judges in place.

McConnell could have only done this, as well as obstructing a SCOTUS Justice, because the rest of the Senate Republicans allowed it. Every aspect of our country that has been destroyed by Trump, was done with the aid of McConnell who was empowered by the Republican Party.

Democrats allowed it to happen because they were confident of a Clinton victory

“Thanks Mitch! Obama was a dick! Winning!”

Please God! Strike that evil man down!!!

😣 it's truly a dark time in America & the direction our justice system is pushed into with federal judges confirmed by Moscow Mith & his devotion to our corrupt president.

The excuse “Christians” use to vote for him

Trump/Barr/McConnell/Putin are attacking our democracy. This can not stand. Dems MUST expand the courts to negate the unqualified authoritarians the GOP have used to corrupt our courts. We must fight back.

Smart man if true 🌷🌷🌷🌷

And he has the nerve to shine about Democrats possible eliminating the filibuster. If he totally disregarded norms of democracy nobody would even be talking about it. Apparently he thinks norms only apply to Democrats.

'because it takes a fair amount of work actually to end up with those statistics' Why didn't you fact check that obviously false statement?

They have been planning this. They don’t care about the longevity of America and the quality of life for the American people. They care about money and business interests.

Republicans have always stacked the courts in their favor. They can't live under equal justice laws.

It's WAY PAST TIME that Democratic voters & pols should have taken seriously the appointment of judges. NOW we have decades, even generations, of ultra-conservative judges who will NOT be constrained by precedent & not beholden to the Constitution as the Founders intended it.

NPR - Are you suggesting a racial quota for judges?

Sad, that we have so many racists in our government!! They need to go in November - every last one of them!!

worse yet are the political and ideological tendencies for which many of them were chosen

He's a scumbag.

This is absolutely fantastic.

The supreme court isn't corruptible because white men who oppose each other. The supreme court is vulnerable to being used as a partisan weapon, if it were to become unbalanced. That's the danger with the supreme court. The obvious bottleneck of lifetime appointments.

🇺🇸

Trump and McConnell white power movement. It sucks to find out you're on the wrong side of the truth, the wrong side of history. You voted for a racist, sexist Putin minion. Tired of winning yet? CovidHoax AmericaOrTrump

Oligarchy orders!

It's a last gasp, and in ten years the reality of vertical stare decisis will kick in and the GOP leadership will wonder why it felt so smug while shooting itself in both feet.

As a brown immigrant woman, I'll take every one of these 'white' conservative judges (as if that should matter in the first place!!! Lol) over the crazies running Democrat party!

GOP and senatemajldr actively facilitating oppression by manipulating the legal system. This is their whole plan, nothing matters to them except ensuring the courts bend to the will of the wealthy, and not the ill of the people. PutinsPuppets

MaraLiasson Given the low caliber individuals McConnell has rammed through, we need to be vigilant and impeach and remove these substandard jurists when the present cause, which they inevitably will.

Can he Do That

Women?

Race is not a qualification to be a federal judge. In fact: 'The U.S. Constitution guides the process for confirming a federal judge, but does not specify qualifications.'

I don't think we should worry too much. The nation as a whole will continue to move in the progressive direction. The progressive will of the people will determine future legislation and laws.

Yup. Elections have consequences.

MoscowMitch is doing what corps want. i.e A company make a product that hurts or kills you and you sue, the Corp pushes the case to federal court, so these judges can touch your life at any moment. The majority of these judges are learning on the job, let’s hope ethics is king

Just bc the republican side sees past color and the media/dems still use race...

Defund NPR

Any judge who quotes the Bible or any other religious book, in their rulings, should be removed from the bench.

Good to see we’re not interested in content of character at , only color of skin matters

You so called journalist are the ones sparking racial tension in this country, perhaps you are the true racist!

HeidiBaird1 Criminal needs bars!

It doesn't mean they will serve that life term if they can get a better paying job.

Time from the AMERICA PEOPLE to clean out all these corrupt people in every institution !

moscow mitch has got to go.

tpmedia Who cares what their skin color is as long as they believe in the constitution

NewsroomJim Forgot to mention this new rule that impeached presidents, even if acquitted, have all judicial nominations reviewed when they leave office. That's means all these incompetent activists nitwits get removed to.

And that is the reason the republicans need to be removed! Traitors

These life time positions need to stop ASAP. On all levels. Along with the crazy salaries, absurd pensions, and lifelong security services.

MaraLiasson America is screwed for decades, unless some of these hand picked puppets actually take their jobs seriously, over time.

How many are qualified, recommenced by the Am. Bar Assoc, or have ever tried a case?

The expected consequences of these appointments are indeed intolerable.

Men? U don’t say!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

MaraLiasson Trump doesn’t confirm, the Senate does.

You should have no issue with those numbers.

Quit judging others by their skin color!

That’s because, and say it with me, senatemajldr is a human turd sandwich covered in racist sauce and served with a side of political corruption (Addison doesn’t let himself be tagged in photos, can’t imagine why)

Wow!! Just wow!!

When the Dems retake control of government we will remove every fucking judge McConnell put in office during Trump regime. One-by-one they will be impeached or forced to resign I promise you. Corruption and scandal will be the only Trump/McConnell legacy!

Not a surprise. Trump was never a supporter of minorities.

Only until we impeach them all.

And?

Why do you think race qualifies someone to be a judge?

Which is why conservative Christians held their noses while voting. For those who said my vote doesn't count, your children will be affected for YEARS

MoscowMitch

When you consider the small pool of Black Republican judges to choose from, why should Trump nominate a Democrat to the bench? Did Obama appoint Republicans to the bench?

😳

If there isn't a legal way to remove judges, then we need to create one. Life terms are a bad idea. This goes for the Supreme Court too. Let's start by removing that eager little corner dweller with sweaty palms and perpetual cold sores. Kavanaugh

We should be allowed to remove judges that are placed during a corrupt presidency.

Stop confirming them.

YOU MUST BE PROUD OF YOURSELF! YOU AND TRUMP CAN APPOINT MANY JUDGES THAT MAY JUST SURPRISE YOU AND ACTUALLY WORK FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. THEY MAY NOT BE PUPPET LEADERS WORKING FOR TRUMP AND MCCONNELL.

Aww. Y'all pushing for a partisan swing in the courts rather than maintaining an objective, representative, balance for, what is supposed to be, a nonpartisan appointment. You're fired.

NPR is fucking racist

This can be undone.

Democrats can only blame themselves for not showing up in 2016. They could have had a Supreme Court 7-2 majority plus a very solid lock on fed judge appointments. But Democrats being lame ass Democrats are now facing a potential 2-7 minority if Trump were to be re-elected. Dumb.

Lifetime appointments need to go the way of the dinosaur.

This is done while most Americans focus on IG pics and TickTock videos. We are to blame for allowing this absolute abuse of power over the course of time. It’s time to stop finger-pointing; we must come together to fix the mess that we collectively allowed. FYI hate won’t work.

senatemajldr is an awful man who hurts democracy and enriches himself. I hope he is voted out of office. VoteMcGrath

Little over 60% of the population in the United States is Caucasian, so it makes sense.

Fixed: unqualified judges

jaywhyelle Judges can be impeached!

jaywhyelle He knew about the bounty but he is on the Russian dole. He is evil.

The GOP now stands for Government Of PUTIN

So what?!?!

This was O’Connell plan and at all costs to screw over Americans!!

Hence, why racism is still running strong.

Wow, that’s a pretty racist take I thought we were supposed to judge someone on the content of their character not the color of their skin.

And many are rated poor by Nar Association, some have zero courtroom or litigation experience. Guess what pledge they took to be vetted by GOP PutinsGOP

They can be impeached.

畫大餅! 不畫大餅先查 朱立倫,美國人,在中國政府任職,欺詐搶劫中國百姓,並賄賂美國國會議員,以美國公民的身分要求美政府開綠燈! 這觸犯了美國憲法第幾條?你不會告訴我美國憲法沒講吧? 美國不查就是混蛋 SkyNews realDonaldTrump JudicialWatch FoxNews robert_spalding NikkiHaley

Well, Mitch and his confederate army are on all the rise again. He pushed this through so fast because he knows Trump is done

Moscowmitch can go to hell!

So.

NPR preaching on other's diversity choices, but refuses to acknowledge their own.

Why is being a judge a life term? That's pretty terrible.

After we stack SCOTUS, we'll add some to the lower courts, too. Those 200 McConnell judges will get tired of having all their decisions reversed, and they'll be moved to be sidelined. We can impeach some, too.

Maybe we can get them together, in a room, to celebrate, and bring Herman Cain.

Structural racism at its finest

We should investigate all answers given during their confirmation hearings and if they lied impeach them.

Half of them will resign within a decade to get better 'paying' jobs or because of ethical concerns.

News flash: it’s NOT about race, it’s about MERIT and APTITUDE. Enough with the race-baiting rhetoric.

Yes, this was the WHOLE agenda. While the media struck at 45's twitstorm like hungry trout, the GOP stacked the bench.

Who cares

Federal judges lifetime appointments need to be assessed periodically for competency.

Who said, 'Reach across the aisle for 2 f'ing years'? Who squandered 2 yrs w a majority? The Pelosi, Clinton, Obama Republicans did this.

This is the true conspiracy. And something that will suck for a generation!

The Senate must flip. Mcconnell must go.

And also, time to stop the life term appointment. The world is changing in the fast way. Hence the appointment should be only for 10 years and can go for one more reappointment - a maximum of 20 years. senatemajldr has abused the system a lot. SenSchumer can you please help.

my stomach just prolapsed reading this

What do you expect from senatemajldr, the man who said his job is to make President BarackObama one term and resisted the appointment by President Obama. Sen. Mitch will go down in the history as the worst Senate leader. Time for KY people to vote him out. cc: AmyMcGrathKY

Wouldn’t be getting a job because of your ethnicity be considered racist? Shouldn’t people be chosen because the have the required skills?

We have to defeat this son of a bitch McConnell in November. No doubt about it.

Among the nominees?

Elections have consequences.

Lol, so liberals count the race of justices?

Major Juducial reform must limit judges terms. Sooner than later.

Lawfare

Pig

Time to defund NPR.

Terrible! Ensuring his way of life for himself, his children and what’s theirs... Everyone else is just noise.

😢😢😢😢

Can they be removed?

But they are all young and conservative.... Lololol... A generation of court rulings... I'd call that a legacy

It's over.

This is why people are protesting racism in America. The intentionality of hiring just white men, no other gender or race. 200 judges, fuck outta here, next president please.

Disgraceful but not surprising coming from the GOP President who alluded to his predecessor as “the n-word Muslim terrorist from Kenya” and a US Senator who knowing lied that President Obama didn’t leave a precise playbook on how to deal with a pandemic.

Why are these positions lifetime appointments? Every other public service seat is elected. Time to rethink this system.

One lens to rule them all.

Suspish.

Maybe there should be a riot about it

This has been a republican wet dream for 40 years. I don't think they are ready for the backlash.

A special place in hell for people like Mitch

NPR is full of hate

I guess statistics only matter some of the time.

The worst people.

Is this why treason is overlooked?

Dem’s need to seize the Senate and the Presidency. Then get fresh appointments to the Supreme Court. The appeal the cases that a killed in the Right Wing lower courts.

Why the racist post? Ever think of considering qualifications over skin color? Of clurse not, you're the LunaticLeft and CorruptMedia racismlivesontheleft DefundNPR

They’re all unqualified & they can all be impeached & removed.

How do we remove them? If they are not qualified, can they be taken off the bench?

Judges can be removed for incompetence as some of these new judges are.

U.S. life expectancy in 2020: 79 years. U.S. white male (because reasons) life expectancy in 1790: 38 years. It is high time for federal judge term limits. Say, 24-36 years total, 8-12 years per level.

.JoeBiden should have a plan for the most diverse nominees.

We are seeing 200 well qualified judges who follow the constitution, not try to rewrite the law. I am not using the divide of race.

Nah. Bump that noise! We’re gonna have to make some serious changes to the process and review every last one of these judges that didn’t get legitimately vetted nor confirmed via an open bipartisan voting process AFTER we send these corrupt GOP SOBs packing this November.

Wow Trumps a racist because he chose mostly whites blah blah blah . You people need to grow a brain and learn to use it. How many POC will actually agree with Trump's ideologies enough for him to make them federal judges who'll serve life term?

NPR is fake news

........... life term We need to rewrite these laws ASAP. Something to effect of, anything and everything done by the orange buffoon can be undone by an actual president

Values more than that. Life liberty and the rule of the Constitution. I do not want any swaying judge who bends to the cancel culture

senatemajldr is a racist.

By one count? Did another count claim some of them weren't white?

Blah blah blah

Well that’s okay, right? According to McConnell we don’t fill judge positions in an election year.

Winning .... can’t wait to replace that idiot judge John Roberts. Heard today he was on Epstein’s plane a dozen times.... Pedi in the court?

NPR sucks. Defund then now!!!

Not everything is about race.

As a Traitor - ALL his appointments & bills should be repealed once he is found Guilty & subsequently incarcerated weareoversight CREWcrew

Wellwallas...

THIS IS WHAT WE MUST FOCUS ON. Bernie bros, I’m sorry but you need to find a way to support the person who will rebalance the fed court circuit. Figure it the fuck out.

The face of evil. Corruption. Greed.

This is textbook structural racism. 🖕

this is what they have been doing since the 80's. they have bent over backwards to put puppets in the oval office so they can flood the courts with incompetents.

Does McConnell have any teeth?

And lots of them are deemed « unqualified » 🤢

And how many that are qualified in the least

Been happening behind the scenes for the last 3 years smfh

More swamp creatures. Deep state is here to stay.

How is there no control of that? Life and multiple terms always bothered me. It’s just gives an option for complete control and corruption

This is White Supremacy in real time, real life.

Yes, he told us all about it days ago. Why is this not the story before he signs eh?

Looks like water will remain wet a little longer. 🙄

Good, let’s compile a list of who we impeach as soon as the treasonous cockwomble is removed from office

Sounds about white.

Eff Old White Men.

'The evil that men do lives after them . . . '

What ever will we do ?

Who was stupid enough to decide that judges should serve for life?

He’s such a fucker🤬

HC_Richardson They can be removed.

Everything but the bedsheet.

Shocking

senatemajldr either hates Blacks or doesn't think they are smart enough to be federal judges. Also, he is a racist...so?

We can impeach judges, no?

...And for that White Right Wave, Mitch & the GOP CLEARLY sold their souls, and ANY semblance of integrity.

'...and white people as we know are evil'

But if they cannot do the job, can we impeach them? How difficult would that be, for the less than qualified appointees?

Stay tuned for resignations due to sex crimes and racism

We understand that what people look like is very important to NPR. Please stop projecting your obsession with race onto every one else.

A democratic house and senate can change the laws/rules

Once he goes to jail I think everything he’s done should be scrapped

He's going to be so pissed when he finds out they snuck a Latina by him.

30 percent UNQUALIFIED per ABA

Impeach the unqualified ones when we rid the cancer. Dems need to get more serious.

Something, something, TPP, Trump and Hillary are the same, something....

Thank goodness! Our 2A rights are safer for it I hope.

How race-focused can a statement be? You imply judicial interpretation is affected by race when justice is to be blind.

Can't they be impeached if unqualified?

SenWhitehouse

You forget that judges can be impeached. Something tells me we are going to have one hell of an impeachment fever over the next ten years or so

Oh, look. NPR is talking about race again.

Why does anything have a life term? And why do presidents get to pick judges?

The racist infrastructure of the US justice system.

This folks is what they talk about in churches across America. Keep holding your nose and vote Trump while he keeps appointing good ol boy judges. Overlook the fact is he far from Godly so they can maintain judicial control for years to come.

Many sadly haven't even litigated a trial court case? GOPBetrayedAmerica GOPChairwoman WhiteHouse not Conservative TrumpStudents

Maybe he just picked the most qualified candidates. Imagine that.

Democrats gotta be more strategic

Term limits. Impeachment. We will fix it.

Smh wtf

It may have taken 8 years but Obama nominated more; the next pres is likely to be a Democrat. The court will catch up in balance.

It's in the job description.

Bones say there will be house cleaning.

Nobody, anytime, ever, should serve a lifetime.

Seeds of evil

What’s with all these “Life Terms” TermLimits

A bunch of unqualified racist white men will be ruling for decades unless stopped. There I fixed it for you

That’s every reason a civil war is coming, the Supreme Court is the new Confederacy

Life term is some bullshit and needs changed. This country is a joke

Evil personified

This is why they continuously look the other way no matter how bad t behaves

They need a 5 year term limit. This for life is BS

Neanderthal

Life terms are the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard

Who appoints a judge is completely overblown. We waste too much time on this topic. Most kiddies become more centric after appointment. Several recent SCOTUS decisions have been “liberal” rulings, including rulings on access to abortion and protections for LGBTQ under CRA 1964.

Can we get a more accurate teaser? Trump had confirmed in _TRUMP's NAME_ 200 fed judges. Only judges Trump would know are ones involved in his myriad lawsuits. He was handed a list of judges he NEVER knew & was told to submit their names. A list designed to fit an agenda.

Rescumlicans.

Pack the courts.

By failing to make appointments at an adequate pace, and then backing off when he encountered resistance, Obama helped enable the Republican obstruction.

When Obama was president and during the first two years of his presidency when the Democrats controlled both the House and the Senate, why didn't they appoint more judgrs? Democrats can be their own worse enemies at times.

senatemajldr can rot in hell

1930’s Germany 😞 History’s ugliness returns.

THIS NEEDS TO BE CHANGED!! SINCE DEMENTIA IS ON THE RISE. AND NO LONGER THAN 10 YEARS SERVICE!

These need to be reviewed for competence

It's almost as if elections have consequences. 🤯

just because he appointed them. they can rule any way they see fit. they owe to allegience except to the U.S. Constitution and rule of law.

Thats why it is important to vote in every election

Yay!

BUT HER EMAILS........

A legacy that could last a generation? Yeah, until Dems enlarge the courts and overwhelm those voices. Duh.

🤮🤬🤮🤬

We Dems will get both houses and the Presidency and then change that law.

REEEEEEE!!!

MAYBE DONT LOSE TO DONALD FREAKING TRUMP DEMOCRATS?! lmao

Excellent. Americas last stand against liberal Marxist sewage until we gain back educational institutions and turn the tide of lies leftists spew and teach.

A stolen SCOTUS seat, blocked nominations & more grossly unqualified judges in the circuit court ever. Your rights denied by ultraconservative, Federalist Society placements. McConnell needs to go along with the rest of the GOP synchophant enablers.

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Well, old flabby white men shouldn't be arbitrators of women and their privacy, like the heavy decision of abortion. Haven't we done this?

Fuk

Yep this was why it was so important to vote and stop Trump in 2016, but everyone had their excuses for not doing so 🤷‍♂️ Btw “generation” is extremely conservative. Some of these hyper partisan judicial decisions will affect our nation for hundreds of years.

Every empire dies out. Republicans are the ones to blame on this one.

Thank God

...And for that, Mitch & the GOP CLEARLY sold their souls, and ANY semblance of integrity.

Every President has this opportunity.

Of course you’ve all been noticing this all along, right?

Bad enough, but many of them have very little experience.

SCARY! This is why voting down the ballot in each and every election matters!

Wtf.... How can stop this?

Can we remve a judge?

Rep took over the judiciary! Let’s make sure dems get Congress and the presidency! This is a movement backwards for Americans! Stop Trump now!

Impeachment.

Awsome ,thank you trump and mitch!

But if they starting ruling based on their ideology and not facts, they will be the ones in trouble.

Not if they get impeached lol

Excellent news! Thanks for the update. Needed a boost today!

U liberals can't stand to give President Trump credit for anything '...with the help of Mitch McConnell Trump has...' EVERYTHING your god Obama done was with the help of someone. U liberals at NPR R deranged lunatics. STOP USING TAXPAYER FOR AN AUDIO VERSION OF CNN! DEFUND NPR!

Democrats can negate the damage done by MoscowMitchMcTreason by expanding the size of the Supreme Court.

Judges and senators should have short-terms like the president, and their offspring and spouses shouldn't be allowed to work in GOV ever

Change the rules. Limits

One of the Dems priorities needs to be building an impeachment file for every single one of these biased hacks.

Everyone that got an F rating should be impeached.

Trump used the GOP to allow troops to be targeted and killed by Putin. And the GOP used Trump to get more right wing nut jobs into the courts. Try fighting against Republican gerrymandering now.

Please ditch moscow mitch

DefundNPR

Can they be impeached/removed if they are found to not be properly qualified?

Once the Democrats get control of Congress and the White House it will limit what judges can do.

Assuming the US lasts that long

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.

These positions should not be for life.

An illegitmate POTUS should never have been permitted to make those nominations. We will remove them when trump is imprisoned in 2021 and no longer protected by his temp job.

We are so screwed. They’ve just about assured their way will be followed for years. This is why every election is important. Protesting may raise public awareness but voting for the right ppl is the only way to promote change and protect rights.

Scumbags setting up a wall of crooked judges to hurt more people.

Most judges try to do the right thing, regardless of political stripes. Many become more enlightened with experience, so hopefully there won’t be too much of a negative impact Judiciary

Unless, congress can amend or change the lifetime rule!

Don’t blame me, I voted for Hillary!

Thank this guy 😂

McConnell doing his best to drive America into the dark ages or into another civil war.

Somebody get this old yogurt filled gym sock playing Mr. Burns out of my gotdam face already. fuckmitch

That was pretty much the point.

200 of the most corrupt judges this country will ever see. Most of these people had more experience as political operatives than as judges.

Well Incompetence unqualified judges can be removed

They may not be on the bench as long as they anticipate if they are following Trump's Coronavirus example.

We allowed this to happen Democrats now we'll have to live with this.

Generations racist and misogynist court rulings to come.

wait what

Yes! Great news!

Elections have consequences. Vote.

And half of them r racists, misogynist, and have no experience of being a judge.

We need to change the law so these aren’t life terms like yesterday. Ridiculous law.

Amen

History will remember senatemajldr as a spineless traitor who sold out America, denied them what the aid they needed during the worst pandemic and economic disaster in recent history, all while representing one of the worst welfare states in the country.

Among the lasting damage by the Trump-McConnel-Barr deconstruction crew.

Wrong way around. He used Trump's endless need for adulation to manipulate an idiot into a position to move the entire judiciary of the US to the right for more than one generation. (Gen=20-30 years).

Let's throw a covid party for them.

I hope Kentucky unifies behind AmyMcGrathKY

Democrats shouldn't run old, shitty, career politicians to represent the people and maybe this wouldn't be a thing. Unfortunately, Trump2020 will be a reality because the party refuses to retire. Unity2020 offers us a chance to combat the corrupted moneyed elites.

Hence the GOPCorruptionOverCountry hashtag

Not if trump’s position is annulled and mcconnell is voted out. Let’s do that to reclaim the rule of law.

Republicans are constantly fighting to prevent the future

The real horror is not the social issues you listed (though that's not good). The real purpose of these Judges is to service and protect corporate power and diminish the power of labor.

So many unqualified

'Democracy' .. lol Murica

This is why the interest groups pays McConnell this is where he does his best worse sabotaging our progress. We in digital age and we will keep track of those 200 judges records.

Thank goodness! It’s the most important reason for Trump to have assumed office. Pro 2A is a HUGE issue for many, many millions of us.

We really need to do away with this life appointment thing for judges/justices. 15 years is more than enough, with no possibility of a second term.

Too bad Hillary couldn’t beat Trump.

Aaaackk!

This is why McConnell continues to support the blathering former reality star whose incompetence has led to 128,000 deaths.

vetting is to identify originalist and constitutionalist.. with the threat that everything is a social construct now and its implications, it's a great thing we might get these judges... for everyone

That's why Democrats in Congress better wake up and take a leaf from MoscowMitch's book. Give him a taste of his own medicine when the tables turn.

Every single one of them will need to be impeached and removed from office.

It begs the question, why do federal judges have a life term to begin with?

Tools of cults have no authority over any of us. Overcome madness friendly reminders for all victims of thought pollution

Hopefully the first act of a new Democratic administration is to investigate and impeach judges with an unqualified rating by the ABA.

And the rest of the country weeps

To have a perspective on that figure you would need to say how may Obama Nominated in his first term ?Either wise it means nothing

And ruining our lives for years to come

History will not be kind to Mr. Turtle.

Q is going to arrest them all!!

Awesome

america is dying and mitch mcconnell is the one with the poison
