Well, no. I'll just see you at the polls. I'm now considerably more optimistic that voters will reject as nasty, mean-spirited, self-aggrandizing, incompetent president in favor of the serious leadership of someone who actually cares about the American people.Osodecentx said:Like I said, I don't see any middle ground here.Jinx 2 said:https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/12/23/21031430/senate-republicans-judges-american-bar-association-unqualified-mitch-mcconnell-donald-trumpOsodecentx said:

Harry sowed the wind and is reaping .... well, you know.
Even as it stymied hundreds of bills this year, the Republican-dominated Senate was laser-focused, yet again, on confirming a huge number of judges at a rapid pace.
That included three who were deemed "not qualified" for the job, by the American Bar Association (ABA), the independent professional organization which has offered presidents guidance on judicial picks for decades.
Those were far from the only federal judges the Senate approved; in 2019, lawmakers confirmed a total of 102, including 20 circuit court judges. This number builds on the 66 judges the Senate advanced last year as President Donald Trump and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell seek to push the federal judiciary further to the right.
The ABA ratings have long been part of the vetting process that each judicial nominee goes through, though presidents have opted to treat them differently. Former President Barack Obama, for example, waited to receive the ratings before making his nominations official, while Trump has declined to do so.
For every person that is nominated for a judgeship, a panel from the ABA made up of 15 law experts known as the Committee on the Federal Judiciary ranks their qualifications based on interviews with colleagues, a review of their past writings, a personal interview and an examination of their broader body of work. The group has three ratings it grants nominees: well qualified, qualified, and not qualified, all of which are intended to capture a person's "integrity, professional competence and judicial temperament."
Since 1989, the group has rated just 21 announced nominees as "not qualified," a rare classification that suggests an individual lacks the necessary professional expertise or judgment to serve on the federal bench.
In 2019, the ABA officially gave three of Trump's judges this distinction: Ninth Circuit Court Judge Lawrence VanDyke, District Court Judge Justin Walker and District Court Judge Sarah Pitlyk. The Senate confirmed them all.
