Trump: 'No more Judges confirmed before Inauguration Day!'

https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-no-more-judges-confirmed-192053931.html


President-elect Trump on Tuesday called for the Senate to stop confirming judges before he is sworn into office, amid a frantic effort from Democrats to confirm President Biden’s nominees.

“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!” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

Senate Democrats held late-night votes Monday to confirm Biden’s picks to the federal judiciary.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) told colleagues on the Senate floor Monday to confirm as many judicial nominees as they can before the new year, which could mean weekend and Christmas recess votes for the upper chamber.

Last I checked, Biden was ahead of Trump in number of judges confirmed.

Do what he says, not what he’s done. He’s the president-elect but throwing his demands around like he’s been anointed already.

The rules are always different for Democrats. Republicans don't even try to hide how uneven the playing field is.
