Confirmation Drumbeat: GOP-Held Senate Approves Sixth Trump Nominee to Ninth Circuit, 41st Overall
It's time, once again, to hail the important and historic progress being made in the Republican-held United States Senate on the judicial confirmation front. Having adopted and modestly expanded Democrats' endless and ends-oriented power grabs of years past, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has wisely prioritized the reshaping of the federal judiciary. He and his conference have steadily and diligently worked to tip the balance away from the Obama-era deluge of liberal judges, and toward constitutionalism. No recent partnership in Washington has been more lastingly impactful than the Trump-McConnell alliance, resulting in this ongoing generational shift -- and with all the other noise in Washington, this issue has flown under the radar. But McConnell knows the score. Here he is applauding the confirmation of the 41st circuit court judge of the Trump presidency, marking the sixth Trump appointment to the infamously left-wing Ninth Circuit Court of appeals:
“Since President Trump took office in 2017, the Senate has confirmed 41 well-qualified individuals to serve on our nation’s circuit courts. Number 41 was Daniel Collins of California, whom we confirmed yesterday to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. As I’ve noted already, Mr. Collins came before the Senate with every conceivable indicator of a brilliant legal mind and an impeccable professional record. I was proud that the full Senate followed up the Judiciary Committee’s favorable report with a majority vote here on the floor. But our work this week is just beginning. Yesterday the Senate also advanced four more nominees – these, to serve on district courts across the country. Today, we will vote to confirm all four."
