The GOP Is Confirming Trump Judicial Nominees It Stalled Under Obama
|
[RollCall] At least 10 judicial nominees who couldn't even get a confirmation vote in the final years of President Barack Obama's administration ended up on the bench after Donald Trump's election.
Those nominees, blocked by Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell and other Republicans while Obama was in the White House, got a second chance. Rather than blocking them under Trump, McConnell sought to speed up the confirmation process. Thanks to the shift in political priorities, Republicans confirmed them with bipartisan support.
About 1 in 15 of the judges confirmed during the Trump administration were first nominated by Obama, a CQ Roll Call analysis found. Several more Obama nominees who were renominated by Trump are still awaiting a Senate vote.
Hence my lack of automatic enthusiasm over "muh judges" while so many other urgent tasks are going undone.
One notes that the article is written from a very definite perspective, somewhat to the left of neutral.... |
