Summary

Senate Democrats are rushing to confirm President Biden’s judicial nominees before Republicans take control in January.

Republicans are frustrated, accusing Democrats of pushing through liberal judges. However, critics point out GOP hypocrisy, as they did the same in 2020 to confirm Trump’s judges.

Democrats have confirmed 217 judges so far and aim to confirm 26 more, potentially surpassing Trump’s first-term total and cementing Biden’s judicial impact.

Schumer has vowed to keep the Senate in session as long as needed to finish the confirmations.

    It would have been uncivil - and as we all know, the most effective way to fight fascism is by letting them run roughshod over you while smugly pointing out how correct you are, and that they’re breaking the rules while adjusting your policies to be a watered down version of the fascists, exciting the fascists, liberals, and leftists at the end time.

    If the Dems get another election and don’t pick a left populist like Sanders, they’re finished.

    LOL, the qons don’t have a fucking leg to stand on. Moscow Mitch unilaterally changed the number of judges on SCOTUS for nearly a year as a gigantic fuck you to Obama and the Democrats and the majority of the country, so they can just FUCK RIGHT OFF with their bullshit.

      The existence of anyone slightly to the left of Rush Limbaugh makes them apoplectic, if we are to be honest.

      “It’s not fair that you can do what you’re permitted to do! You should do what we want you to do! Remember when you didn’t get to confirm SCOTUS judges? That was more fair because it helped us!”

    None of this means anything. This country doesn’t mean anything. Nothing stands for anything. It’s all just a back and forth. Good will not prevail. It’s just cocksuckers getting gheir way, and making others suck their cock on the way down. That’s all this is. Human suffering doesn’t matter. Peoples lives don’t matter. It’s all just a dick measuring contest to these people. A little over a million people died during covid. Trump didn’t care. Then Biden took over and provided vaccines. But nobody cared. They were just told by their government for 8 months it was all a hoax. And then Biden has to deal with gaza, he doesn’t care. He could have sent Ukraine permission to use weapons deep in russia for 2 years. He didn’t care. These judges won’t care. Being human doesn’t matter. Nobody has any rights. Consume commercial goods. Amazon has you by the balls.

    goes to sit in a dark corner
