So many right-wing extremists and Trump loyalists are now on the federal bench for life.

So many people don't see the big picture. The loss of the courts is HUGE! They will move even faster now that the dog is at the door. Look for a ton of new judges in the next week.

It does feel like it’s been forever, but all we have to do is know with certainty that if we hadn’t flipped those states Nancy Pelosi would not be the Speaker of the House with it’s immense power. Trump would literally be gathering dirt on Biden and he would use it with impunity. And in the coming months Congressional investigations and hearings will be uncovering a slew of other activity that is illegal and treasonous.
