Senate Democrats are taking advantage of Republicans not coming to work to eliminate Biden’s nominee for attorney general.
Jennifer Bendery of HuffPost posted:
I see some, but not all, absent Republican senators returning and trying to delay the Democrats’ quick confirmation of Judge Biden.
The Senate just confirmed Rebecca Pennell as a U.S. district judge. The vote was 50-48.
Manchin voted no.
Two Republican senators absent: Ted Cruz + Mike Braun. ”
Five Republican senators missed the vote yesterday.
Then Trump They shouted about it on social media, demanding that everyone return to the Senate as soon as possible to “block Democrats from confirming any more judges before Inauguration Day.”
Republicans…can’t do that. But still. Some people came back.
President Trump is furious that Democrats are moving judicial confirmations at breakneck speed because if Democrats approve the remaining Biden nominees, there are many judicial positions that President Trump could fill during his next term. There will only be 36 vacancies left. biden Almost all but a few dozen slots will be filled.
Not only will Mr. Trump take office as a lame duck, he will also be unable to complete his mission of destroying the court by filling it with unqualified henchmen.
