    THIS WEEK: Senate will vote on two 9th Circuit picks opposed by civil rights groups – Lawrence VanDyke & Patrick Bumatay. It’s the same number of circuit court nominees (2) confirmed during the final TWO YEARS of Obama’s presidency thanks to @senatemajldr’s shameful obstruction.

        VanDyke was rated Not Qualified for being “arrogant, lazy, an ideologue, and lacking in knowledge of the day-to-day practice including procedural rules" and he “would not say affirmatively that he would be fair to any litigant before him, notably members of the LGBTQ community.”

        Patrick Bumatay is a conservative ideologue who served as a political operative in the Trump Justice Department – carrying out some of the most extreme anti-civil rights policies of this administration. It’s no surprise Trump wants him to serve FOR LIFE on the 9th Circuit.

        It should also be noted: @senatemajldr McConnell is holding votes on these two nominees over the objections of their home-state senators (all four are Democratic women – @SenFeinstein, @SenKamalaHarris, @SenCortezMasto, and @SenJackyRosen). This is incredibly troubling.

        Call your senators in the morning (202-224-3121) and tell them to #StopVanDyke and #StopBumatay for these lifetime positions. You can learn more about them in @civilrightsorg’s letters (http://bit.ly/2PuRudC  and http://bit.ly/38lKiru ). Too much is at stake to remain silent.pic.twitter.com/Nul1cnAjhr

        In 2020 we must undo Trump appointees. Trump stole the election by breaking law with Cohen, working with Russians (see R Stone trial), GOP voter suppression, and with a lot of electoral help from Russia. He’s illegitimate. So are his nominees. #undoTrump

        I went go find the link to a list of approved Federal judges under this Admin, in a chart that provided their experience, or lack thereof, and leanings judicially. I can't find it now. Do you have a link you recommend?
