Remember when President Obama nominated a district court judge from Alabama to the Court of Appeals? Probably not, because Shelby and Sessions wouldn't return a blue slip.

No one likes your whining.

You are clearly the same person who whines on this blog at every possible opportunity about judges and the federalist society and about Garland blah blah blah.

You are boring.

I suggest next time you have the inclination to write a whiny poihtless posts, instead you should go outside, feel the warm breeze, read a book, walk on the beach, go get a beer, anything really.

No. I am the one that points out that all of Trumps nominees are Federalist Society Bots. Trump farmed out his duty to select judges to the Federalist Society. Membership in the Federalist Society has become a litmus test to get a federal judicial nomination. That is dangerous. Imagine if a Democratic President had done the same with the ACLU. 8:05's head would have exploded (MAGA hat and all). 8:05, you are the whiner that nobody likes.

Sounds like a pretty solid nominee just like all of the Southern District Florida Florida judges appointed so far have been.

The ACLU and the Federalist Society aren't remotely comparable.

I agree. The ACLU has integrity.

Yep. He's right up there with Steve Menashi.

The ACLU used to have integrity. Now it's just another anti-Trump organization.
