@RandomDeplorab1@theblaze I voted Libertarian against him. The Democrat candidate was even worse. The issue…we need caucus and primaries to get these POS out before they get to the general. But most “republicans” take very little interest in primaries and think, if voting for an R they are good to go
Two Republican senators from Arkansas, with Democrats about seven weeks from taking over the Senate, have decided this is the moment to sit on one of President Trump's last appeals court picks… because they wanted somebody else.
Let me explain what is going on. Trump nominated U.S. District Judge Lee Rudofsky to the Eighth Circuit, and according to judicial nominations insiders, John Boozman and Tom Cotton are working against him because they preferred Arkansas Supreme Court Justice Cody Hiland for the seat. Nobody, on either side, is questioning Rudofsky's record or his qualifications… they just wanted their guy.
When he had his hearing in September, his own home state senators did not even introduce him, which almost never happens, and this week Boozman put out a statement saying he continues to "appreciate Judge Rudofsky's service in the Eastern District of Arkansas." Translation… stay where you are. The Judiciary Committee vote is set for November 17, and if they get their way it never moves.
Rob Luther, who worked judicial nominations in the White House Counsel's Office in Trump's first term, says Boozman is standing in the way of the first Trump-majority circuit court. Mike Davis called it an unforgivable sin for Boozman and Cotton. And they are right. You do not get to lose the majority, burn the last weeks you have on a turf fight over who gets the robe, and then go home and tell Arkansas voters you stood with the President.
How is this even a thing? The voters just told you they are done with a Senate that does nothing, and the first thing you do with your final weeks of power is protect a favor? Make no mistake, it is not Democrats standing in the way of this nomination, it is Republicans, and they are doing it quietly hoping none of you notice.
I have watched this movie for years. The cool kids club takes care of its own and the people who put them there get the bill.
@JohnBoozman@SenTomCotton, move the nomination. Seven weeks. Let him through and stop playing games with the bench.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
@indiacat1@AirForceDad50 Why put conservatives and Trump in the same sentence? They aren’t the same thing…Trump is in now way a conservative….80’s style Country Club Republican at best or an 80’s era Democrat at the worst.
Every time the RINO Establishment lost in the POTUS primaries to Trump, they preferred to burn it all down rather than pass the MAGA agenda.
They usually got their wish, but they took heavy casualties in the aftermath.
Cornyn out.
Paul Ryan out.
Tillis out.
Collins out.
Cassidy out.
Graham out.
McConnell out.
Romney out.
Flake out.
McCarthy out.
Corker out.
Toomey out.
Burr out.
These temporary midterm losses sting, but the long term cleansing of the RINO establishment allows MAGA to rebuild the GOP machine in our image - as a nationalist, populist party.
Fight on.
@RealAaronBerg@BreannaMorello You hang your hat on that…every Gun regulation is a violation of the Second Amendment….but folks get charges with those laws everyday…
Donald Trump just promoted one of the most vile thugs to ever slither into the Oval Office.
This is an insult to every American who voted for change on Tuesday.
Stephen Miller cooked up the sadistic mass deportation regime that ripped apart families and trampled basic civil rights. Innocent people are dead because of him.
Voters rejected his cruelty and extremism. This is sick.
