Donald Trump has sustained more than his fair share of political losses during the first 10 months of his presidency, mostly at the hands of the federal courts.
It was the federal courts that struck down his Muslim travel ban on three separate occasions, that blocked his ban on trans people in the military and that did the same to his attempt to defund so-called sanctuary cities.
But the makeup of Americas judges is quietly becoming the site of one of Trumps most unequivocal successes: nominating and installing judges who reflect his own worldview at a speed and volume unseen in recent memory. Trump could conceivably have handpicked more than 30% of the nations federal judges before the end of his first term, his advisers have suggested, and independent observers agree.

(54,408 posts)McConnell and Grassley have perpetrated a plague of evil in the American judiciary for which no punishment is great enough. Many of the very people who voted for them will find out--far too late to save themselves, and no "I told you so" comments from us will make anything better for them OR for us.

How long ago did Mitch know the fix was in for this election? He has been playing dirty with judicial appointments for years. Even if we win the next two election cycles we have lost so much because of the courts. The only answer is to end Republican rule forever. GET OUT THE VOTE!!! Never forget, never forgive what this republican administration is doing. Fuck Mueller, fuck the courts get your ass on the streets and vote. Run for office. This is a war. Republican know this. Defeat your enemy.
Are you prepared to shoot your republican relative in the face? Literally? That is the kind of commitment we need to save this country from Russian enemies in our congress, white house and courts. They are going to elect a child molester to further the destruction of this country. What fucking more evidence do you need?
