“The Democrats are trying to stack the Courts with Radical Left Judges on their way out the door. Republican Senators need to Show Up and Hold the Line – No more Judges confirmed before Inauguration Day!” posted convicted felon President-Elect Trump on Tuesday, impotently.
It’s not just the hypocrisy that sticks out here – shitbag Aileen Cannon was famously confirmed during Donald’s lame duck period in late 2020, among others – it’s also that there simply aren’t/will not be a whole lot of open spots. Trump will have just 36 open bench seats to confirm judges for in late January. Of course more could retire, but the whole point during his first term was to pick 30 or 40-something-year-old far right psychopaths to fill open seats for lifetime terms.
