quietly stacking the federal judiciary
aka doing normal political things?
🙄
(why is this even news?)
It worked for republicans. Some judge makes up some whatever ruling that makes no sense and kicks it down the road months or years picking appart all the little garbage arguments they try to make.
The issue here is thinking this administration is going to care about the process, and will likely start taking “very legal, very cool” shortcuts to fuck shit up. This is like if the Democrats got robbed for years and said: we’re thinking of taking their lawn chairs if they don’t cooperate.
The fact that they’re doing it, and the possibility that it will be able to interfere with Trump’s plans, is newsworthy.
The way the story frames it is bizarre partisan clickbait. On that part you have a point, yes.
SCOTUS still exists, with open corruption by plenty of it’s jurists.
I’m just a little confused by how he thinks this is a strategy, but maybe I’m uninformed.
Just before Christmas, they achieved their goal of pushing through a record 235 judicial nominations, more confirmations in a single administration than any since the Jimmy Carter White House.
Nominations. And these get confirmed how? In a MAGA world? Or have they already been confirmed. Would be cool if the article, you know, included that.
Edit because I did their work for them. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/12/20/fact-sheet-president-biden-secures-confirmation-of-235th-federal-judge/
I think the phrase “pushing through” signifies that the nomination process was successful.
Too little, too late Chuck!
