Is that a record in 3 1/2 years? It has to be.

When President Biden is sworn in. All the vacancies will be filled so he'll have to wait for openings. If he gets 50 his first term it will be a miracle.

All judges need to be vetted again. Once ever one or two years. All judges at that level should not be able to sit on cases that are clearly biased or a conflict of interest. Review their financials and those of immediate family.

it would probably take a constitutional amendment. All it takes is thirteen states to say, "Naw, we can't go along with that," and there's no amendment.

How long can we wait for these changes?

I'm so damn tired for some old white man (OWM) to tell us if or when women and people of color deserve the same rights as they do.

Thank you for telling me that my suggestion would require a Constitutional Amendment. How do we get this started?

The Constitution was deliberately made difficult to change, that's not a bug, it's a feature. It takes an extreme amount of national consensus to effectuate the passing and ratification of an amendment. We just don't have that kind of ability to achieve consensus any more.

The last two Amendments to be enshrined as part of the Constitution were from ancient history, politically speaking. One was lowering the voting age to eighteen, and that was nearly fifty years ago in the midst of the Vietnam War where people of that age were drafted to kill and get killed for the country that they were not allowed to elect leaders for. The other was ratified nearly thirty years ago, and it had originally been proposed over two centuries earlier. And it wasn't a substantive change that affected everyday Americans, it applied only to Congressional salaries.

I learn so much from DU members.



I'm still mad as Hell about Kavanaugh.

We're all good resources for each other, as long as we do it with respect.

Trump could GAF about judges. This 4 year nightmare will dominate the Federal Judiciary for a generation.

Fingers crossed it suits you more often!

like robots, doesn't matter what is falling apart around them. Keep seizing power, keep installing your lackeys and enablers, keep dismantling everything that benefits us. Like rust, they never sleep.

I can't wait til McConnell is dethroned as Senate Majority Leader when we flip the Senate blue in November.

They want slavery back and to abuse people without accountability.

They do not want justice,democracy or fairness.

They want full spectrum domination over anyone they deem a lessor themselves . They have planned this on purpose for decades. Their long game is coming to a head now,the coup goes on.

They've wanted full spectrum domination since this country was founded.

Bullies always attempt destroy others.

This has to be done at all levels including the supreme court.

It could take 10 - 15 years to make any meaningful dent in the problem. The judges right now can't have their terms of office changed short of a constitutional amendment. They could review how each judge was nominated and look for "irregularities" that might give them cause to remove them from office.

With 24 hour news channels they could easily handle coverage of the protests, the ongoing pandemic, and the BS McConnell is pushing through right now while he refuses to address the economic needs of millions of citizens out of work.

Somebody OWNS them by the job. The news gets told only so far.. but luckily at least on DU people can figure it out.

We will have to live with their legacy for decades as they remove as many civil rights as possible for women, minorities, and the LBGT community. Does anyone know whether federal appeals courts can be expanded?

McConnell and his advisers deliberately chose young judges so they would be there for decades. Experience and legal knowledge not required.

His evil will continue long after he has rotted in the ground.

Another reminder for those who saw no difference between Mrs Clinton and the Ass in the whitehouse.

I know probably not according to the "rules" but they don't follow the rules and we're going to have to bend them back in the other direction to really cause meaningful change.

Courts have no enforcement authority, only the executives.

And are trying to cause as much damage as possible.

Moscow Mitch wants the RePig Party to last long after he is gone and dead. While we all live under the suppression he creates by delivering Judges intimacy the system and Supreme Court.
