Asshole Can't Even Appoint The Right Judges

Quote:Trump-appointed judge forces White House to reinstate press pass of CNN’s Jim Acosta

And if they want "decorum" in the White House they should throw the Orange Turdfuhrer out of it!

Sounds like he appointed EXACTLY the right one.

Judges are supposed to enforce the law as it is written, not rule in favor of whomever appointed them. They don't serve at the pleasure of the President, they can only be removed via impeachment.

So it sounds like Trump is appointing the right judges, in all fairness.

In this case, anyroad.

But this whole thing seems a bit childish. If Trump doesn’t like Mr. Acosta, he could simply not take questions from him.

Ignoring Acosta wouldn't help Trump. He needs a mustache-twirling villain to help him change the subject and keep his supporters riled up. Acosta/CNN is the perfect foil in Trumpland. That exchange at the press briefing was about as spontaneous as sex on a 30th wedding anniversary. Trump knew exactly what he was doing.

Yes.... but do you really think that is the WLB's concept?

Remember, he wants the attorney general to be his personal lawyer.

We are in uncharted territory with this moron.

Whether it's his concept or not, remember that federal judges still need to be approved by the Senate, and several have been rejected for various reasons, including being too partisan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Tru...troversies

Correct.

Do you understand that Mitch McConnell has politicized that process so that all they need is the GOP majority to approve the moron's choices?  He is under no obligation to appoint capable or qualified candidates when McConnell will simply use the ( increasingly rabid ) dolts in his own party to rubber stamp whatever the WLB puts forward.

Actually it was Harry Reid (Democrat) who changed the rules so that only a simple majority was needed to confirm judges other than Supreme Court judges. McConnell expanded that to the Supreme Court, but the Democrats started it.

Also did you read the article I posted? I'm not sure how you can claim it's rubber stamping when there are several rejected judges on that list.

McConnell sees stacking the Federal judiciary with "conservative" judges as his enduring legacy. The more, the better. As long as he can get a simple majority to sign off on whomever the Federalist Society recommends, it's all good, as far as he is concerned.
