Let's hope he keeps this up. We need to battle test some of our weapons, and NK would be a perfect place to do it. The next dictator would then think very, very carefully about pushing his luck. -c1steve | |||

The Senate confirmed four of President Donald Trump’s judicial nominees to federal appeals courts this week, bringing his total number of circuit court appointments to 21. Two nominees to the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Michael Scudder and Amy St. Eve, were confirmed on unanimous votes Monday, as they were selected in consultation with Illinois’ two U.S. senators, Democratic Sens. Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth. Senators generally have special prerogatives for judicial vacancies arising in their states, and the 7th Circuit is based in Chicago. “The unanimous, swift confirmations of Judges St. Eve and Scudder attest to the value of a collaborative selection process,” University of Richmond School of Law professor Carl Tobias told The Daily Caller News Foundation. “White House Counsel appeared to carefully consult home state Democratic Senators Durbin and Duckworth, who strongly supported the nominees.” “Two experienced, mainstream individuals rapidly and smoothly joined the court and reduce its vacancies without the rancor and divisiveness that have attended other circuit nomination and confirmation processes,” he added. Though neither nominee has a high profile in Washington, D.C., both are well thought of in conservative legal circles. Scudder was a partner in the Chicago offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom concentrating in commercial litigation and white collar crime. He previously worked for the George W. Bush Justice Department, served as general counsel of the National Security Council, and clerked for Justice Anthony Kennedy on the U.S. Supreme Court. St. Eve was a judge on the federal trial court in Chicago. She was a federal prosecutor and worked on the Whitewater investigation prior to her appointment to the bench in 2002. Scudder and St. Eve are the president’s third and fourth appointments to the Chicago-based federal appeals court. The Senate confirmed Michael Brennan on May 10th and Amy Coney Barrett in November 2017. There are 11 judges on the 7th Circuit. Senators confirmed another two nominees Tuesday. Joel Carson, a part-time federal magistrate and partner in the law practice of Carson Ryan LLC, was confirmed to the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on a 77-21 vote. The 10th Circuit is based in Denver and covers six states in the Great Plains and Rocky Mountain west. The chamber also confirmed John Nalbandian to the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on a 53-45 vote. Nalbandian spent most of his career in private practice at Taft Stettinius & Hollister in Ohio and is close to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. The Senate has now confirmed 21 Trump nominees to the federal appellate courts. The 13 circuit courts issue final decisions in the overwhelming majority of federal cases. There are currently 32 district court nominees and one circuit court nominee pending before the Senate. http://dailycaller.com/2018/05...icial-confirmations/ | |||

The Daily Caller description is misleading. There is now one Circuit Court nomination awaiting a vote, but there are a dozen or more nominated but bogged down in the process. One has pended for more than 240 days, Ryan Bound. Bound is opposed by his home state Senators, from Oregon, despite appearing on a list of proposed nominees prepared by those Senators’ selection panel. 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.

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 | |||

So why are there so many vacancies in the Federal Courts? Did O-bummer not do anything??? Or did a bunch of those judges retire due to politics when Trump was elected?

Heinlein “You may beat me, but you will never win.” sigmonkey-2020 “A single round of buckshot to the torso almost always results in an immediate change of behavior.” Chris Baker | |||

I doubt judges retire due to politics. They are in for life during good behavior, a surprisingly low standard. If they do not die, they can take senior status, with a lower caseload at full pay.
Some die, of course. A few retire, not even bother with senior status. I believe this is what former 9th Circuit judge Alex Kozinski did last year after a growing number of allegations of improper sexual conduct. More rarely, one gets caught taking a bribe and either resigns in disgrace or is impeached. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

Senate panel votes in favor of Haspel's nomination for CIA director It's on to the floor for a full vote - several dems have announced their support meaning she should be confirmed. Those opposed include Rand Paul, extremist democrats like Schumer and Warren, and terrorists like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. “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 | |||

BOLO for lengthy article in NYT about Operation Crossfire Hurricane, The Secret Origins of the Trump Investigation, the counter intel op into the Trump campaign. Lots of history, background, new stuff, maybe some of it actually true. Link My first read through suggests this story is more an FBI CYA than thorough analysis of relevant facts.

JALLEN, that NYT article is a real pile of lies and distortions. They tried to cover every attack line that Nunes has opened up, and it might be an attempt to deflect from the upcoming DoJ IG report. They used a lot of not so helpful quotes from Marco Rubio. I have had big concerns about the Sen Intel Comm and their willingness to let this go on and on. Someone took a long time to write that and weave the stories together. | |||

I agree. It looks like the Walt Disney version. But the Senate Committee has done some important work, gotten in a number of good licks. I read Don, Jr. transcript earlier, and tried to read the written responses of the Russian lawyer..... no telling what all might be in that but it doesn’t seem to have any negative implications for the Trumps.

This is what I was wondering about? They know what they did and what's been found. So as it gets closer to release they should get more desperate. The report has to be devastating. ____________________________________________________ The butcher with the sharpest knife has the warmest heart. | |||

coincidence ? (no it is not) Inspector General Michael Horowitz has submitted the “Draft Report” of his OIG investigation to the principals involved. The IG investigation encompasses the FBI and DOJ conduct during the 2015/2016 Hillary Clinton investigation. The Draft Report encompasses the findings. The Draft Report review is the last review phase prior to the Final report being released. The Draft Report review allows the principals to provide input on the facts identified and outlined within the draft. https://theconservativetreehouse.com/ Responses from the principals about the facts outlined in the draft report are then reviewed, cleared for addition if appropriate, and included in the Final Report. The Draft Report is the first time the DOJ and FBI Principals (only those officials who remain inside the DOJ and FBI) get to see the underlying documentary evidenced gathered in the 17-month-long investigation. It is critical to understand what happens when a U.S. Attorney joins with the OIG. The evidence flow only goes one-way. The IG is not participating in a criminal investigation. The IG is only looking at facts within his investigation and shares any pertinent investigative findings with the U.S. Attorney. The U.S. attorney does not provide the IG with findings from his criminal investigation. IG Horowitz and U.S Attorney Huber might interview the same subjects. [In rare instances they might even interview the same subject simultaneously] However, Huber would not share his criminal investigative interview content/evidence with Horowitz. Therefore the content of a final IG report may contain outlines/evidence of criminal behavior, but there could be -likely is- much more evidence in addition to the IG report. How the criminal prosecutions might proceed after the final IG report is released involves prosecutor strategy. U.S. Attorney John Huber may wish to wait and see how the participants react to the facts outlined in the report; or he may use the IG report to expand his criminal investigation and conduct additional interviews of people who are outside government, and as a consequence outside of the IG investigative reach. | |||

President Trump's attorney, Rudy Giuliani, told Fox News Wednesday that special counsel Robert Mueller has told the president's legal team he will follow Justice Department guidance and not seek an indictment against Trump. Giuliani, himself a former federal prosecutor and mayor of New York City, also told Fox that Mueller's investigators have not responded to five information requests from the president's team. That has forced Trump's legal team to push off making a decision about whether the president will sit for an interview with the special counsel -- a decision they had hoped to reach by Thursday. The precedent that federal prosecutors cannot indict a sitting president is laid out in a 1999 Justice Department memo. Giuliani told Fox News that Mueller has no choice but to follow its guidance. "This case is essentially over," Giuliani said. "They're just in denial." Link Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.
