All the news about judges is bad.
McConnell wants to make it easier to confirm Trump’s picks.
After confirming Trump circuit judges McConnell preps new nuclear option to speed Trump’s district judges. May be very few vacancies for the next president to fill: Trump will have roughly 20 percent of Circuits

This is a hijacking of the third branch of government. When Democrats regain power they will need to add seats across the judiciary to restore any sense of balance and legitimacy.https://t.co/qERWgz6XZd

Right as news was breaking about Sherrod Brown not running for prez, he was on the Senate floor giving this fiery speech about all the things wrong with the ideological judges Republicans keep confirming. Most outrage I've seen from any senator on this. https://t.co/9jb8TyQseS

The Senate confirmed a judge on Tuesday who interned at an anti-LGBTQ group. She’ll serve for life. https://t.co/DEHdPszJjG

Trump is appointing and Senate Republicans are confirming young, conservative, anti-black, anti-choice, anti-LGBTQ judicial nominees, like 37-year-old Allison Jones Rushing, who could remain on the federal bench and block new progressive laws for decades.https://t.co/bppXVxEbWr

WOW. @SenFeinstein and @SenKamalaHarris speak out on 9th Circuit pick Kenneth Lee's writings: "This has been an ongoing problem from the outset of his consideration, and like other writings Lee failed to disclose, these new examples indicate troubling views on race."

GOP keeps jamming circuit judges. Look at AWFUL slate just for next week:
— Leslie Proll (@LeslieProll) March 1, 2019
Eric Murphy-6th: Vote suppressor;
Michael Park-2nd: Hates affirmative action;
Kenneth Lee-9th: Anti-LGBTQ;
Allison Rushing-4th: Aligned w/ADF hate group;
Chad Readler-6th: Fought Affordable Care Act.
Urge your senator to vote against Trump nom Chad Readler. He argued that the ACA and its coverage for pre-existing conditions is unconstitutional. He also defended Trump’s decision to separate hundreds of immigrant children from their parents.https://t.co/Z6Iw3SU9DU
