The facts are clear: Senate Republicans are stacking our courts with nominees outside the mainstream. After eight years of unprecedented obstruction of President Obama’s nominees, they are remaking the courts in record time. Our report: https://bit.ly/2IdYMMB #CourtsMatter
With a Republican president, Senate Republicans are moving judicial nominees at breakneck speed. President Trump’s first 15 circuit court nominees took half the time to confirm — an average of 131 days — compared to 254 days for President Obama’s first 15 circuit court nominees.
While Pres. Obama’s first circuit court nominees were approved with overwhelming bipartisan votes, Pres. Trump has largely put forward controversial nominees outside the mainstream. 10 of President Trump’s first 15 circuit court nominees were confirmed with fewer than 60 votes.
Trump nominees have been incredibly young, allowing them to reshape our courts for generations. Nine of Pres. Trump’s first 15 confirmed circuit court nominees, or 60 percent, are in their 40s. By comparison, only one of Pres. Obama’s first 15 confirmed nominees was in their 40s.
In order to stack the courts for generations, Republicans are dismantling a Senate tradition that ensures consultation and consensus with home-state senators. Through advice and consent, the Senate is meant to be a check on the president, not a rubber stamp.
If only you were in a position to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! Can you hear me now?
Vote people replace the R’s in November I’m voting blue and women of color are my first choice
"The Judiciary Committee has approved nominees even when they lacked support of home-state Senators, did not have necessary legal experience, held views far outside the mainstream, or were rated unanimously “not qualified” by the American Bar Association."

Our constitution is being slowly absorbed by the swamp thing.
This is the most important under reported story of this administration.
