Trump Reveals First Slate of Judicial Nominees

26

[the_ad id=”90513″]

President Donald Trump on Monday released his first set of names of judicial nominees — and of the 10, a couple had previously been floated as U.S. Supreme Court picks.

Sean Spicecr, White House secretary, released the names of President Donald Trump’s picks for federal court — 10 names that conservatives seem to find satisfactory.

Joan Larsen and David Straus, both formerly named by Trump as possible SCOTUS picks, are now being nominated for, respectively, the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and the 8th Circuit.

Sean Spicer, White House press secretary, called the grouping well-versed in constitutional law and said they were “chosen for their deep knowledge,” various media reported.

More, from the Hill:

“The White House says more judicial nominees will be coming in the months ahead as the administration works to fill the more than 120 vacancies in the lower courts.

“Conservatives praised Trump’s choices.

“‘President Trump is building on the success of his nomination of Justice Gorsuch with an outstanding new slate of nominees for the lower federal courts,’ said Carrie Severino, chief counsel and policy director for the Judicial Crisis Network.

“‘The nominees have stellar qualifications and a record of courageous commitment to the rule of law that will make them excellent additions to the federal bench. When it comes to fulfilling his campaign promise to appoint strong, principled judges, Trump is knocking it out of the park.’

“Elizabeth Slattery, a legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation, said the nominees are in line with the kind of judges Trump said he’d nominate — originalist, textualist judges who will be faithful to the Constitution and not interpret it as though they are legislators.

“Liberal court watchers, meanwhile, expressed reservations with what they called ‘ultraconservative’ nominees.

“‘Packing the federal courts with judges whose records suggest they want to weaken critical constitutional rights and legal protections would undermine the Constitution’s promise of equal justice for all, and cause serious harm to millions of Americans,’ said Nan Aron, founder and president of the Alliance for Justice.

“‘We will be scrutinizing all of the nominees’ records carefully and urge senators to do the same.’

“Trump had one judicial nominee pending before Monday. Amul Thapar, of the federal District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, is still waiting for the Senate to confirm him to the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.”

We all know the drill by now. Trump will make a good faith appointment to a position-any position-requiring Senate confirmation, the commiecrats in the Senate will deliberately and spitefully drag their feet, and the lying ass magpie media will slam Trump since, in comparison to Obhammud’s faster pace, Trump’s WH is slower because it is in disarray.

NOTHING that was done by this lying, fake, Muslim enemy Obozo, is anything other than EVIL, DEMONIC, MENDACIOUS, ~ this lying FAKE, this MUSLIM, is the single most damaging enemy the U.S. has ever had, including Benedict Arnold. Same for his democrap allies. ALL of them. The Waters coconut looking mouth is one of the very worst. They are a true humiliation to our nation.

Thank you, Chelonia. I find myself sometimes just unable to comment because the positions that some people take are so stupid and ridiculous that I sense it would not matter “what” I may comment, they simply will not “get it”. And, “these” are voters! I very sincerely thank you for sharing your thoughts and your “perceptions” with me. I know now that there are some other there, like you, who WILL and DO express their opinion and are not fearful of criticism. I wish you were my neighbor.

Hi Chelonia, g’morning! Please, if you will, see and download this free grammar program that I am sending in the link here to you. Free, and the program corrects any and all grammatical errors made in typing, eliminating your need to use the upper case in your typing. Highlights any error and when you place your cursor on the highlighted text the corrected selection appears there for you to select. Takes care of everything for you. I have used this for a very long time and it is wonderful. Here, in this program, the error will be underlined with a red line so you will immediately see and then may correct if you wish. Easy as pie. I hope you will use this and enjoy! I, too, am enthusiastic and disciplined about using good and proper English. I often now hear on the MSM persons who to my spirit murder our language. Sentences constantly ending in a preposition. i.e. “We don’t know where that was at”. Correctly said, “We don’t know where that was”. I cringe. You are so correct with your gentle admonishment about those “willfully blind, deaf, and dumb”. I used to perceive this as “ignorant”, poor educational background, but my opinion has changed. I now view this as “stupid”. They are shameless and do not care. “Almost” is ok. 2 + 2 = 4.2 is said to be “close enough”. Sad.

We live in a nation populated by an apparent 50% stupid. Liberals. This nation cannot continue in a fashion that you and I will recognize in another 15-20 years. Educational system is in shambles, many families comprising 50% non-parenting adults. Very sad. Corruption in all areas of our country, business and industry, and a political arena so corrupt that is beyond anything i have seen in my entire lifetime! A majority of “the people”, citizens, are oblivious.

Sarcasm? More like stupid, in my opinion. Opinions vary. I do not care what others think, those opins, but I do not debate the opinions expressed by another. I DO however view, “perceive” much of what is expressed on this site, and other such sites, as stupid. My opinion extends into many other areas of many things that are occurring in my country. You, dear, will not recognize this country in ten years. Moreover, as evidence of this I admonish you to tune in attentively this summer and see what will occur this summer in cities all across the nation. Perhaps then you will “get it”. Now.. that said, this that I express is “not”, repeat, NOT, about you, but likely you WILL perceive my “opinion” as an attack against you. It is not. “It” is just what “is”. This country is more divided than before the War Between the States. Did you get this? My chosen words? “War Between the States?” Was NOT a Civil War as has been and is claimed. A “Civil War” is when one faction of a government attempts to, or overthrows another faction of that government. The South succeeded from the Union, the South DID NOT attempt to overthrow the Union, the United States. We are so brainwashed and lied to so much, history changed and the true facts “altered”. Why? This “change”, the lies then make the “winning” side appear, as to say then “perceived” to be a waging a humanitarian effort, thus “justification”. That war was about “industry”. The North had all the industry and the South wanted industry. The North refused this, demanding that the south continue providing the industrial North with meat, beans, and potatoes and all industry continuing to be maintained in the North. So, the South succeeded. Formed the Confederate States of America. In fact, the North had slaves, arguably as many slaves as the South. But, that became a moot point. And, history was written to support this claim, and thus to preserve that perception, the “justification” for that war. Sometimes “reality” is more powerful, more persuasive then “perception”. Now we are essentially fighting in this country about “principles”, but “principle” is now neither understood, nor accepted. Why? Has more to do with the abject stupidity of the people, and I must now express “not all”. Why” Because many, if not most, will immediately become “defensive’ and are then argumentative and contentious, not comprehending, not understanding what is written, what is expressed. This country is on very borrowed time, UNLESS things change. I don’t “see” this happening. Lastly, and saddest of all, the women are those most responsible for this. I will not go into the details that form the basis of my opinion in this perception, the vast majority of Americans would not begin to understand. Yes, that stupid. The level of deception has reached a point, a place, where I “think” the tide cannot be turned. The “division”. Our educational system and what has been done to this, and is now continuing to be done. The breakup of the family unit system, this and these, and much more plays into that division. Americans are living in and within a mere 2% of the worlds population, convenience, comfort, utility, etc. This fact is NOT even known to most, “most” being the vast majority. This is all I have to say. That oft quoted old “box of chocolates” (still MORE that will not be understood by most). It is over. “It”, “things” are just too stupid for this. Sometimes the things that seem most simple become the most complex.
