Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) abused Senate procedural rules to prevent President Barack Obama from filling court vacancies. Now he wants to get rid of those rules to make it easier to confirm Trump's judges.
(The National Review)


WASHINGTON ― He changed the rules to make it easier to confirm President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court picks. He tossed out Senate traditions to make it easier to confirm Trump’s circuit judges. So, naturally, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) wants to adjust the rules again to make it easier to confirm the rest of Trump’s nominees to lifetime seats on federal courts.

The Senate will vote this week to reduce its debate time for most nominees ― district court judges and lower-level executive nominees ― from 30 hours to two hours. This will not apply to Cabinet secretaries, Supreme Court nominees or circuit court nominees.

Without a whiff of irony, McConnell, whose greatest legacy is denying a Supreme Court seat and dozens of other federal court seats to President Barack Obama, said Thursday that the rule change is necessary because of Democrats’ “unprecedented obstruction” of Trump’s nominees.

“Obstruction for obstruction’s sake,” bemoaned McConnell, who was so Machiavellian about denying Obama the ability to confirm judges that he drove Republicans to block their own nominees and fueled a vacancy crisis on federal courts.
 
Can any of you smart guys tell me what Lindsey Graham's position in the Senate is?
Exactly.


Graham Dismisses Trump-Russia Charges: 'He Doesn't Collude with His Own Government'


JEFF POOR 31 Mar 2019
On this weekend’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) offered a glimpse into President Donald Trump’s reaction to the findings in the Mueller report.





Graham said Trump was pleased with the Mueller report and dismissed the notion that Trump could collude with Russia by saying he couldn’t collude with his own government.

“He was very pleased that everything he’d been saying for two years proved to be right,” Graham said. “If you know President Trump — and I have gotten to know him pretty well — there is no way he sat down with the Russians and came up with a plan and followed it. He doesn’t come up with a — he doesn’t collude with his own government. So this whole thing was a — was ridiculous, if you know the president.”
 
Definitely. And then maybe we will read the Mueller Report and also see if Trump has more jailbirds around him when the federal court in NY weighs in. But keep having wet dreams about Hillary.
No politician should be above the law. Trump, HRC... if found guilty they should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, especially if they are supposed to represent what is best about our country. But that will never happen, will it?
 
What did the Mueller Report say, exactly, when it referenced the term exoneration?

And remind me how many of Hillary’s close associates went to jail?

Like I said, you’re dumb because you choose to be, not because your daddy funds your life.

Democrats are still lookin.....!
 
And remind me how many of Hillary’s close associates went to jail?
Thanks for pointing that out. You would think that at least a few of them would have, unless they were being protected by some very wealthy and powerful people. I'm thinking the Dems, especially HRC, are gonna wish they never went down the collusion rabbit hole...
