[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 3203317, member: 44288"] While thumbing through the AOC MEME's in Google I saw this thread in a forum called Democraticunderground.com [SIZE=6][B][I]Warnings of Trumpism 'Forever' as Senate GOP Rams Through 44 Lifetime Judges in One Day[/I][/B][/SIZE] [I]"Too many of these nominees have spent their careers opposing the rights of women, minorities, the LGBTQ community, and Americans who need affordable healthcare." by Jessica Corbett, staff writer Published on Friday, February 08, 2019 With the nation's eyes largely elsewhere in a sea of distraction on Thursday, the Senate Judiciary Committee quietly advanced 44 of President Donald Trump's federal judicial nominees in what civil rights defenders denounced as a "monster markup" that threatens to leave the president's dangerous ideological footprint on the nation's courts for generations to come. Vanita Gupta, president and CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, said the move "disturbingly exemplifies the joint Senate Republican-Trump administration effort to distort our federal judiciary and roll back our civil and human rights." Gupta also accused Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the committee's chairman, of defying "the committee rules and basic fairness in jamming through more than 40 nominees for lifetime appointments, many of whom have a demonstrated hostility to our rights." [/I] [I]"They want to see Roe v.
