A lifetime appointment for a federal district trial judge, I just don’t see how you put it together.
What we are seeing here is an effort to scramble quickly to resurrect defeated candidates in Texas and others to fill positions on the federal district court before Senator Talarico is sworn in on January 3.
Before appointing a person to a lifetime appointment to the federal bench, shouldn’t we take a close look at their background?
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.
