Senate quickens pace of approving Trump judicial picks

From the article:

One thing is definitely going right for U.S. President Donald Trump and his fellow Republicans who control Congress: they are steadily getting conservatives appointed as judges, advancing their long-held ambition of reshaping the federal judiciary.

While the media chooses to focus on Roy Moore and other issues, and while Trump desperately tries to distract from the Mueller investigation, the GOP has stolen one SCOTUS seat and is rapidly reshaping the Judicial branch of government.

Without a doubt. If the Con goes down but McConnell is left in place, we are still fucked. The man has no allegiance to the Constitution at all.

Hopefully, we can get a few of them removed for gross incompetence next time there's a Democratic Present/Congress.

Retrumplicans have shown us that rules and traditions don't matter one fuck.

I want Dems when they control the House to increase the number of federal judges so that whatever the current makeup is, we can create a 3-4 judge majority on every court. Then I want a mass hearing and confirmation vote... maybe 1,000 judges all at once...in a damn football stadium.

Then I want them to reduce the budget for Staff for every Donnie Short Fingers judge to zero.

Then I want them to impose that rule where they can reduce any federal government employee salary to $1, and make that the annual salary for every Donnie Short Fingers judge.

Then I want to gerrymander the fuck out of the country so Cletus from Dumbfuckistan Pennsylvania will vote in the downtown Philly precinct.

The Donnie Short Fingers judges that don't resign willingly will then be impeached by any means necessary.

If you haven't noticed by now... I fucking hate Retrumplicans and believe that they must be punished for what they did to our country
