Dems and Republicans should be able to come to some kind of understanding that district judges get through quickly, there are way too many vacancies that is hurting litigation in my state. |

Date: February 21st, 2018 10:03 PM Author: Out-of-control Passionate Dysfunction Kitchen Huh? Dems would be compromising now. You do realize there's a Republican president and Senate, right? District judges are nevertheless getting confirmed very slowly. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3900013&forum_id=2#35457166) |

Status quo is fine for Republicans because they win after the delays. |

Say, allow 10 hours of delay instead of 30. Applies permanently, no matter who wins in 2020. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3900013&forum_id=2#35457204) |

He's being a pussy about it though, and Schumer is stringing him out with faint promises of a big package deal that will never happen, especially as midterm elections approach.

Judges don't have lobbyists so nobody gives a shit. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3900013&forum_id=2#35457255) |
