China Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 How Biden outdid Trump, Obama and George W. Bush in confirming federal judges by this point in office, a feat overshadowed by war and inflation In his whirlwind summer of accomplishments, one of President Joe Biden's most important may have been overshadowed by news of war, inflation, fights over abortion rights, and the FBI search of Mar-A-Lago. Biden has appointed more judges to federal courts at this point in his tenure than any other president since John F. Kennedy. As of August 8, 2022, exactly 566 days into Biden's tenure, the Senate had confirmed a record-setting 75 judges nominated by Biden to federal courts, according to a tally from the Pew Research Center. That's more than Donald Trump, Barack Obama and George W. Bush had confirmed by this point in their presidencies as well as other presidents after JFK who remains the record holder for speedy nominations at this point in their tenure with 102. The overall number of Biden judicial nominees confirmed by the Senate stood at 78 as of August 26, according to UScourts.gov. That includes appeals and district court judges, along with one Supreme Court justice. Biden's nominations have also included a historic number of women and racial and ethnic minorities. Most notably, Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first Black woman to be nominated and confirmed in a bipartisan vote for the Supreme Court. Biden benefited from a 2019 rule change by then-Majority Leader Mitch McConnell that cut the debate time on most judicial nominations from 30 to two hours. The decision by McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, to invoke the "nuclear option" allowed for lawmakers to confirm a nominee with a simple majority vote, ultimately allowing for multiple judicial vacancies to be filled in one day, according to the American Bar Association. Democrats who were in the minority at that time objected to the rule change, but it has now aided in fast-tracking Biden's lifetime judicial appointments. "The importance is that it is one of the biggest legacies he will leave because these judges will be making decisions long after Joe Biden has gone, long after his administration has gone, he will still have the stamp of these judges on American policy," Elaine Kamarck, a senior fellow in the Governance Studies program and director of the Center for Effective Public Management at the Brookings Institution told Insider.

China Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Biden to deliver prime-time address warning Americans’ rights are ‘under attack’ President Biden will deliver a prime-time speech from Philadelphia on Thursday about protecting democracy during which he will warn that Americans’ rights and freedoms are “under attack,” according to a White House official. Biden’s speech at Independence National Historical Park on Thursday evening will revive his 2020 campaign theme of fighting for the “soul of the nation,” according to the White House advisory, and is a sign of his message to voters coming into focus just two months out from the midterm elections. “He will speak about how the core values of this nation — our standing in the world, our democracy — are at stake,” the White House official said. “He will talk about the progress we have made as a nation to protect our democracy, but how our rights and freedoms are still under attack. And he will make clear who is fighting for those rights, fighting for those freedoms, and fighting for our democracy.” Biden has begun to more forcefully criticize Republican candidates on the ballot in November, last week describing those who align themselves with former President Trump as threats to democracy and accusing them of embracing “semi-fascism.” “The MAGA Republicans don’t just threaten our personal rights and economic security. They’re a threat to our very democracy,” Biden said at a rally in Maryland last Thursday, referring to Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan. “They refuse to accept the will of the people. They embrace, embrace political violence. They don’t believe in democracy.” Click on the link for the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"we've got folks saying I'm mentally disabled or hate me for other nonsense they parrot from people who call each other RINOs on TV. That's fine. Direct your anger at me. Not at law enforcement or hospitals for children. I can take it unlike the last guy. We have elected officials more upset about tuition loan forgiveness than a gunmen liquifing kids. Why? Because their biggest donors aren't getting another tax cut instead? Thoughts and prayers for all the billionaires who love the freedoms and capitalism of the United States but don't want to pay their fair share, so they invest in Senators. The return on that investment has been paying off big.... " Yadda yadda. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Nice speech, but I would've liked to hear concrete steps he's going to take moving forward, like re-introducing the Voting Rights Act and calling on the non-MAGA republicans to vote for their democracy and not with the MAGA. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
