President Trump Strikes Huge Win In The Courts

Law Hammer Justice Right Court Horizontal

President Trump has succeeded by having his DC Court of Appeals pass confirmation in the Senate. The Daily Caller reports:

The Senate confirmed Neomi Rao to succeed Justice Brett Kavanaugh on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit early Wednesday afternoon.

The 53-46 vote followed party lines. Rao overcame Democrats who opposed her nomination in view of opinion pieces she wrote for a college newspaper as an undergraduate at Yale and social conservatives who expressed misgivings about her views on social issues.

“Neomi Rao’s experience and intellect make her uniquely qualified to fill Justice Kavanaugh’s shoes on the D.C. Circuit,” Carrie Severino, chief counsel of the Judicial Crisis Network, said in a statement. “Rao will fairly apply the law and honor the Constitution; she’ll be a phenomenal judge serving on one of our nation’s highest courts.”

The D.C. Circuit is often styled the second most powerful court in the nation because its docket encompasses high-profile regulatory and separation of powers disputes. The court is also something of a farm team for the Supreme Court: Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Clarence Thomas, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Kavanaugh served on the D.C. Circuit prior to their elevation.

This is just another example of the President’s commitment to restore the judiciary to its Constitutional roots.

Next stop is to put the axe in the 9th. Circuit Court in California, in dire need of some thinning there !

Split the 9 into three parts and divide the members between the three , then appoint conservatives to fill all of the vacancies.

Yes, another win. We must make sure he wins in 2020 to continue to help us get back to the America our founders envisioned. I’m hoping in 2024 Trump will pick his replacement so it will be someone who will continue the things he is accomplishing.
I doubt we will ever see another one who will forfeit their pay like he does and give it to charity. What an example that is! Others go to get rich and his worth has dropped over a billion while being president. What an example of true caring about the country not his own gain.

I hope Rao is a good selection, but something tends to happen to these people once they get a lifetime appointment–which they shouldn’t!
