  • Last week, Congress passed the JUDGES Act, a bipartisan bill that would create 60+ new federal judgeships. Proponents of the legislation say the bill would help alleviate case backlogs in courts across the country. However, President Biden said he would veto the bill. Why? Marc Elias and Paige Moskowitz discuss.

HOW ABOUT DOING THEIR SWORN JOB AND ENFORCING THE CONSTITUTION’S FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT BARRING INSURRECTIONIST TRUMP FROM OFFICE??? NO PROBLEMS FROM THE SCOTUS WHEN THE ROGUE JUDGES ARE DULY DETAINED AND HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR DIVERSE CRIMES!!!! BARRING THIS MINIMUM OF DUE DILLIGENCE THERE WILL BE NO FUTURE FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY - OR DEMOCRACY FOR THAT MATTER - ONLY A PUTIN-STYLE TRUMP DICTATORSHIP!!!!!

At least think about who has typically had to fight for power in this country. Did you even watch the video? We still have judges from the Reagan presidency. Conservatives are NOT and have never been the outsider antidote to anything thing -especially when they pretend to be the populist party. Just because we accept gay people more doesn’t mean the world was controlled by democrats for 500 years lmfao The arts are always more socially “liberal” which is not the same as the political faction in this country.

Additionally, judges appointed by Biden are qualified and do not have a history of far right extremism and favoritism toward Democrats. Whereas actual bias is clearly present in the far right judges like Aileen Cannon who literally ran afoul of her fellow judges for her outright unacceptable protection of Trump. Biden never had to sit in front of a judge that he himself appointed. Not least of the reasons why is that he never committed a major crime, so never had to sit in front of a Judge. Lastly, Biden was not convicted of 34 counts of FELONY FRAUD, let alone in civil court of sexual assault.

    From my mother: So the Bipartisan Judicial Reform Act was a good idea on principle, but when self-serving men that lack principles would be using it to their own advantage, President Biden, after 50 years as a public servant, knew it was prudent to use his authority to veto it. So bill was good idea, just the timing was wrong. Thanks Joe, for keeping a lid on the weasel den as long as u have, and for us long as u can. 💙💪🇺🇲 Thanks Mark for always clearing the smokescreen, bringing to light the machinations of the weasel den and making their motivations understandable.

      If he could, he should. I don't know if there's a way to do that without having to negotiate with Congress.

    They should expand the federal judges but both parties should get equal picks and not just one party takeover judges

      Parties shouldn't be involved at all. Judicial branch positions should be completely independent of the influence of the other branches, the fact that politicians pick out judges in this country is insane.

      If that was the deal offered at the start it’d be workable. If it had passed quicker though, the bill would have given all the appointments to Biden and there’s no way he would have invoked veto. So there’s been just as much partisan jockeying from both sides on an issue both parties agree needs to be solved. Now that electoral fortunes have turned so Trump would get those appointments instead, this is pretty much a case of sour grapes.

    The only way to convince a fool they're wrong is to give them everything they asked/voted for..!
    "Will no one rid us of this turbulent president-elect..!"
    “Mortem Tyrannis!”

      "The only way to convince a fool they're wrong is to give them everything they asked/voted for..!" - Unfortunately, that works only when the fool is foolish, but still acknowledges reality. MAGA actively rejects reality, so they will never admit that their "leaders" have failed them.
