BREAKING: The Senate has confirmed six of Trump’s judicial nominees in the past 30 hours. These are lifetime appointments that McConnell’s pushing through instead of the HEROES Act & other crucial legislation. Every news program should be covering this tonight. #NoMoreTrumpJudges

You are so stuffed! The USA has to be the most broken nation. Belarusians take their lives in their hands to protect their democracy. US citizens meekly hand it over to Trump.

This is the subtle crisis. A bunch of wackos on federal judiciary for decades deciding stuff that supports power of capital. One thing at a time. Biden. Senate. Then how to cope with this fucking disaster.

Cloture on those votes would have required at least 7 Dems (or Independents who vote with Dems). In other words, Dems could have blocked the appointments.
