Indeed, it is fair to say that the world is now seeing the very serious impact that this President is having on US relations with the world. President Trump loves to wreck things. He must be a fan of Groucho Marx's famous lyrics in the film "Horse Feathers," "No matter what it is or who commenced it, I'm against it." On the world stage, being "against it" seems to be his favorite mantra.
Human rights don't seem to matter in the Trump White House.

Human rights as in killing the unborn?
Human rights as in open borders and no laws?

I agree with the old hag.‘Unfortunate’: Ruth Bader Ginsburg believes it’s time to stop playing politics with judges

As the looming announcement of President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee divides Washington along partisan lines, Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg spoke fondly of a time when judge confirmations weren’t such a political battle, ABC News reported.
Ginsburg, speaking at a screening event in Jerusalem for a documentary about her life , recalled how different the process was when she was confirmed in 1993.
“I hope someday we will get back to the bipartisan spirit prevailing with respect to the confirmation of judges,” Ginsburg said.
What was different then?
Ginsburg told the crowd at the event that when she was confirmed, a candidate’s political history or affiliations were not such a strong factor swaying the voting.
{sounds like the democrats fucked it all up, according to RBG}
“I was considered by some a controversial person because of my affiliation with the American Civil Liberties Union,” Ginsburg said. “There wasn’t a single question asked of me during my hearings about my ACLU connections. the vote was 96-3. When Justice [Stephen] Breyer was nominated the next year, the vote for him was also in the 90s. Since then the Senate has tended to divide along party lines and I think that’s unfortunate. During my confirmation hearings, perhaps my biggest supporter was Orrin Hatch, the Republican senator from Utah.
“I hope someday we will get back to the bipartisan spirit prevailing with respect to the confirmation of judges,” she concluded.
Justice Breyer was confirmed by the Senate by a final vote of 87-
See?, we all have something in common.

President Donald Trump chalked up another win at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) last week when former deputy director Leandra English announced her resignation and dropped her lawsuit against the White House.
English “plans to resign next week,” the Associated Press reportedon Friday.
“English was the chief of staff for Richard Cordray, President Barack Obama’s director of the bureau. She was promoted to deputy director shortly before Cordray resigned in late November. Citing the law that created the bureau, English and Cordray both argued that she was now the acting director of the bureau,” the Associated Press noted in its report, adding:
President Trump, citing longstanding laws over presidential appointees, named his budget director, Mick Mulvaney, as acting director of the bureau. It created a standoff between the White House and the CFPB, and it was unclear for several days who was actually in charge of the bureau.
Congressional Democrats, including Senator Elizabeth Warren, D-Massachusetts, and consumer groups backed English’s legal claim for control of the regulator while banking groups, and Republicans, pushed Mulvaney’s claim.
English quickly sued to block Mulvaney’s appointment, but federal judges repeatedly ruled that President Trump had the power to appoint who he wanted into federal agencies. After Mulvaney was clearly in control of the bureau, English was largely sidelined by the current administration.
“On Friday, she [also] said she would drop her lawsuit . . . now that Mr. Trump has formally nominated Kathy Kraninger to be the agency’s permanent director,” The New York Times reported.
English’s resignation and decision to drop her lawsuit is yet another in a long string of victories for President Trump at the CFPB, the controversial independent agency established under the constitutionally questionable authority of the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act.
Will the winning never end?

Another example of precedents established by the Democrats: The Ginsburg Rule....
When President Bill Clinton nominated Ruth Bader Ginsburg to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1993, former Vice President Joe Biden, then a Democratic senator, chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee with a Democrat Senate majority.
Mindful that Ginsburg could be perceived as out of the mainstream of American law – she had once argued for legalizing prostitution, against separate prisons for men and women and raised the possibility of a right to polygamy – Biden prescribed certain rules for questioning nominees.
Biden’s most significant rule, which has since come to be known as the “Ginsburg Rule,” stipulated that nominees are under no obligation to answer questions regarding their personal views or about any issue that might conceivably come before the court.
Naturally, Republican members of the Judiciary Committee wanted to know whether Ginsburg still held such radical views. But Ginsburg religiously adhered to Biden’s Rule, refusing to answer questions on important matters such as funding for school vouchers, the religion clause of the First Amendment and homosexual rights. The senators were stymied in their efforts to obtain even a hint of her position on these and similar public issues because she said that doing so might compromise her impartiality in cases likely to come before the court.
Near the close of the hearing, Ginsburg explained: “My own views and what I would do if I were sitting in the legislature are not relevant to the job for which you are considering me, which is the job of a judge.”
