 http://www.dailywire.com/node/...campaign=benshapiro# DJT To Nominate Conservative Judge To 6th Circuit President Donald Trump will nominate Judge Amul Thapar of Kentucky to U.S. Court of Appearls for the Sixth Circuit. Thapar was part of Trump’s short list of potential selections for nomination to justiceship on the Supreme Court, with the most recent selection being Judge Neil Gorsuch. Lexington Herald-Leader and Courier Journal describe the 47-year-old Thapar as “conservative" and aligned with the orginalist Federal Society. The National Law Journal expressed praise for Thapar’s record:
Thapar was born and raised in Detroit. His parents emigrated from India. He earned with law degree from the University of California, Berkeley. A statement from the White House last Tuesday provides a brief background of Thapar: If confirmed, Amul R. Thapar of Kentucky will serve as a Circuit Judge, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. The son of Indian-American immigrants, Judge Thapar serves on the District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky. With his 2008 nomination by President George W. Bush and subsequent confirmation and appointment, Judge Thapar became the Nation’s first Article III judge of South Asian descent. Before his service on the bench, he was the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky. Before that, he served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of Ohio and the District of Columbia. He began his legal career in private practice, after clerkships with Judge S. Arthur Spiegel on the District Court for the Southern District of Ohio and then with Judge Nathaniel R. Jones of the Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Judge Thapar received his BS from Boston College in 1991 and his JD from the University of California, Berkeley. “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | ||

Well I gotta say, when it comes to judges, President Trump sure knows how to pick 'em. And these type of decisions are some of the most important that a President can make.

As Trump has admitted himself the primary reason many people voted for him was to keep Clinton from appointing liberal justices to the Supreme Court and this filters down to the lesser judgeship's as well. ------------------ Eddie Our Founding Fathers were men who understood that the right thing is not necessarily the written thing. -kkina | |||

Excellent! "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Historically, judgeship nominees are recommended by the senior Senator of the President's party in each state. The President then nominates the person for the post. Naming judges is a key part of Senatorial power and perquisites. It's wonderful that Senator McConnell and President Trump can find someone they can enthusiastically agree on. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies.

And thanks to Harry Reid, all we need is a simple majority to put him on the bench! “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||

I hope the REP establishment types keep getting the message we are all very lucky Donald Trump was the REP nominee and the general election winner. Lots of good judge selections can help us for decades. | |||

Keep 'em coming! This was the most important reason for elcting Trump, regardless of what other reservations one might have had>> We as a country can generally survive the 4 to 8 eight years of any presidency, the selection of the judiciary has generational implications. Plus, the continuation of exploding liberal heads is a pleasant by-product. Bill Gullette | |||

Judge Thapar is a great guy. I first met him when he was U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky. He'll be a great addition to the 6th Circus. | |||

So we have a first-hand recommendation from an SF member...not bad. Ever notice how much trouble immigrants from India cause...not? Just saw a video of Nikki Haley, she rocked AIPAC convention. _________________________ “ What all the wise men promised has not happened, and what all the damned fools said would happen has come to pass.”— Lord Melbourne | |||

Yep. I think there are about 117 vacancies on various federal courts. Such a large number is a chance for President Trump to appoint judges that have a genuine chance at changing the awful character of many of our federal courts. | |||

That is cool! I work in the district covered by Judge Thapar but haven't ever had any dealings with the federal court here. I have heard good things about him from some people who have had dealings with him and the fact he is a member of the Federalist Society is definitely a good thing! “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||
