Summary
Two Democratic-appointed federal judges have unretired after the 2024 election, preventing Trump from appointing replacements.
The judges’ decisions were influenced by the Senate’s “blue slip” policy, which requires support from home-state senators for presidential nominees.
Republican leaders, including Mitch McConnell, have criticized the judges’ actions as partisan, while Democrats are rushing to confirm as many judges as possible before Trump takes office.
I refuse to be happy about the democrats doing so little that we’re stuck relying on
ancient judges appointed by centrists clinging to life and their career long enough that maybe the next democratic administration will get around to actually appointing leftist judges. It’s better than Trump’s appointments would be but not nearly good enough.Judges should be nonpartisan
Tell that to Republicans and who they put on the SC. Yes judges SHOULD be nonpartisan, but the highest court in the land is a fucking cesspool of corruption. Any judiciary left should be protected against their tyranny.
Yeah at the very list ACB and the boofing guy should get gone
Nothing is non-partisan. Conservatives attack reality, truth, and science, because these compete with their worldview.
If you look at my post history, I consider(ed) myself a non-Christian conservative.
I just want a functioning government, man. The only way to fix conservatives is to have a leftist party so center is center again.
My views haven’t changed. I shouldn’t be aligning more and more with democrats.
And Donald Trump should not be president of the US. Mitch McConnell violates senate norms. The federal government is a laughing stock. Instead of subverting laws as a norm, we need to enforce existing laws.
