Trump to inherit more than 100 court vacancies, plans to reshape judiciary
— Donald Trump is set to inherit an uncommon number of vacancies in
the federal courts in addition to the open Supreme Court seat, giving
the president-elect a monumental opportunity to reshape the judiciary
after taking office.
Editor's notes: Trump will be able to take a huge step in reshaping the federal court system, thanks to the short sightedness of Harry Reid. Reid changed the voting rules for the approval of Administration cabinet members and federal court justices, except for the Supreme Court. Only 51 votes are not required for all justice appointments except for the Supreme Court, which remains at 60 votes.
The former vote count eliminates filibuster as a tool used by the Senate party out of power. That worked fine for the Dems until they lost power with the election of 2016. While the Senate fell into GOP hands in 2014, the Presidency remained with the Democrats, of course, as well as all nominations to the lower courts.
Changing the political attitude of the lower court system, is as big a deal as is the Supreme Court decision. Comparatively few lower court cases ever get to the Supreme Court.
Obama EASILY could have won again.

Trump 41%
totally depends on how the campaign would have been won. If on policy, Trump would have destroyed the most unpopular, totalitarian president in American history. Examples:
ReplyDeleteYou like him because you are anti-God, anti-US Constitution, anti Israel, pro-peace at any price, anti-free speech, anti-states sovereignty as presented in the Constitution, anti-national sovereignty, anti-guns used for self defense, anti-federal law when it conflicts with Marxist agenda, pro-domestic violence and vandalism when in the name of social reform, pro-cop killings when in the name of BLM, pro-sexual filth on our airways, pro-radical Islam as defined by Iran, pro lying your ass off if it serves the greater good, anti-the working middle class, pro-Al Sharpton and Jeremiah Wright rhetoric, pro-Russia when the mics are turned off, anti-military, pro-high risk lending to the poor, and pro-continued paychecks funded by the US taxpayer.
BTW, Hillary had those same polling numbers.
Delete" Hillary had those same polling numbers."
DeleteNot even close
Oct 23, Hillary was up 12 points with ABC. Close enough. Besides, your polling information is tghe work of partisans so committed to winning that they willingly cheat the numbers . . . . every time.
