Dick Durbin: “If we ignore this matter in the Senate Judiciary Committee, we run the risk of being complicit in this coverup.”

To take a lifetime appointment for a federal district court, which is primarily a trial driven court, or at least preparation for trial, and not have any experience with the things I have asked you here, really raises the question of why…

Before appointing a person to a lifetime appointment to the federal bench, shouldn’t we take a close look at their background?

Mr. Chairman, there are many things we still can do… One of them is not to expedite nominees who have not been carefully vetted. I hope we don’t accept that as a standard in this Committee.

Why? Because the Republicans are losing the majority and they’re afraid that unqualified MAGA loyalists won’t withstand close scrutiny when Democrats are in the majority.
