'Couse now there's more! This is great! This is Fantastic News.. Mahalo!
"In its final act of the year, the Senate blew through a dozen U.S. district court nominees on Tuesday night. That puts Obama at a whopping 89 district court and circuit court confirmations for the year, and means he'll wrap up his sixth year in office with a grand total of 305 district court and circuit court confirmations --- a tally that puts him well beyond where his predecessors were by this point in their presidencies. -
And, to think we owe Mr Green Eggs and Spam for this.. just so Delish! How much in the doghouse is ted cruz with pubbies?!
Yeah, that tweet from Lindsay Graham is too funny!
From your link..
"These confirmations mean that, for Americans across the country, justice will no longer be delayed," said Michelle Schwartz of Alliance For Justice. "They also mean that taxpayer money will be saved by avoiding needlessly duplicative paperwork and hearings if these nominees had to be re-nominated next year. We commend Senator Reid for his dedication to confirming these judges before the end of the year."
Yes, Thank you Senator Reid and you too Senator Cruz.. Rofl!
Thanks she.. What a gift for our Country.. Thanks Obama
