With\u00a0 <\/span>the 2024 election on the horizon, the American public have become newly aware to the extent of a flawed judiciary with ulra-partisan Judges in the Kari Lake matter<\/span><\/a> seeking fairness in her 2022 election, the prosecution and disbarment of John Eastman<\/span><\/a> and former President Donald Trump\u2019s assorted lawfare judges<\/span><\/a><\/span>, <\/span>among others.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Pending 2024, however, is survival of a Constitutionally-mandated Senate Judiciary Committee with the political mojo dedicated to restore its legal values that have been gravely endangered since 2020 under Democratic authoritarian threats. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n One particular illustration which makes the point of the Dems as ferocious and relentless in their attack on the country\u2019s judicial branch is their mindless support of all and every legally defective Biden judicial nominee submitted to the Senate Judiciary Committee as well as its attacks on the Supreme Court which is no longer a mindless, bobbing head faction of ultra-liberal Justices who jump to the Democrats tune. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The fact is that since 2020, the Biden Administration has deliberately and repeatedly submitted seriously unqualified<\/span><\/a>, incompetent<\/span><\/a>\u00a0 <\/span>and <\/span>politically extreme<\/span> Federal Judicial nominees, including Circuit Court nominees which is one step away from the Supreme Court. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Those nominees have an agenda that decreases judicial credibility in pursuit of an ideological, politically extreme basis, with little interest in their own flawed legal opinions or disavowal of unconstitutional infringements on personal liberty.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n As of February 19, 2024<\/span><\/a>, the Democrats nominated 211 judicial nominees with 185 confirmed, the remainder are pending and there have been no committee or Senate floor\u00a0 <\/span>rejections.\u00a0 <\/span>All Federal judicial nominees approved by the Senate receive lifetime appointments.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Electoral optimism suggests that replacement of Senate Minority Leader Mitch Mc Connell who held the position for an implausible 18 years might actually bring forth a new era of Constitutional protections in the Senate; if not safeguarding the entire judicial branch of the Federal government. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Given the omnipresence of the Democrats who held onto the country\u2019s jurisprudence for the last decade or two, they do not willingly relinquish that power easily as some may consider it a foregone conclusion that they will retain their access to the country\u2019s rule of law jurisdiction.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n On the other hand, Election day results will determine survival of the Senate Judiciary Committee\u2019s ability to block the authoritarian threat to further, if not final, destruction of our Constitutional Republic.\u00a0 <\/span>In anticipation of the 2024 election, the door may swing wide open to a new, more responsive Republican administration regarding the quality of its judicial appointments as well any Supreme Court appointments when the 119<\/span>th<\/sup><\/span> Session of Congress begins.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The campaign for McConnell\u2019s replacement is already a crowded field with Sen. John Thune (SD), Sen. John Cronyn (Texas), Sen. John Barrasso (Wyo), Sen. Rick Scott (Fl) and conceivably others although there is a long stretch of time between now and when McConnell actually vacates the Chair following the November 5<\/span>th<\/sup><\/span> election. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n As the 2024 election approaches and after its ultimate vote, it may be that others put their names forward to stir the America-First Republican base after Election Day. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Currently, the partisan make up of the Senate is forty eight Democrats including three Independents who <\/span>only<\/span> caucus with the Dems and forty nine Republicans, approximately two dozen of whom vote on a regular basis with the Democrats.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n One particularly egregious example of partisan deceit is a recent 74 \u2013 24 final vote<\/span><\/a> on HR 2882, a Motion to Concur on an appropriation bill which set funding at an inconceivable $1.2 Trillion budget including Israel and LBGTQ items. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n That appropriation is actually a $1.7 trillion budget including all entitlements with another $1 Trillion added to increase the debt every sixty days.\u00a0The fight to fund Ukraine another $60 billion is still pending.\u00a0 <\/span>Twenty five Republicans aided and abetted the Dems in support of HR 2882, continuing the current $34 trillion debt.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The majority of the Republican crossovers, referred to as RINOs, appropriately named Republican in Name Only, are from gloriously red states who nevertheless elect Democratic-voting Senators.\u00a0 <\/span>It is their responsibility to take some initiative and decide they are not receiving the level of expected support from their elected RINOs.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The 2024 election, however, with twenty Democrats, three Independents and eleven Republicans running for re election just might create enough of a Republican surge to assume the Senate majority. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n What most Americans are unaware of is that Democrats in the Senate vote, with exceedingly rare exceptions, vote 100% of the time en bloc.\u00a0 <\/span>In other words, the Dems have an unexpectedly high discipline or perhaps it is more like callous partisan restraint that no matter the merits, no matter the issue or the principles, they will all vote in sync like narrow-minded opinionated Marxists.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The Republicans on the Committee do a first rate job of opposing those nominees, even as they almost always lose by by one vote.\u00a0\u00a0Committee votes are almost always eleven Democrats vs. ten Republicans although there have been some GOP who vote with the Dems in the committee, regardless of the nominee\u2019s lack of professional qualifications.\u00a0 <\/span>Once approved by the committee, approved nominees go directly to the Senate floor and receive every Democratic vote.<\/span><\/p>\n Assuming a decidedly Republican shift in the Senate in 2024, the current mechanical votes will cease and conceivably any new Judges or Justices will represent a more Constitutionally based legal system as was always meant to be.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Of those eleven Republicans seeking re election, three are members of the Senate Judiciary Committee and their re election is imperative.\u00a0 Out of the entire Judiciary Committee of twenty one Senators, the ONLY Senators seeking re election are three of the best Republicans on Judiciary.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n That Committee has a\u00a0group of sterling Republican members, none of whom are expendable, but it is essential that Sen. Ted Cruz<\/span><\/a> (Texas), Josh Hawley<\/span><\/a> (Missouri), and Marsha Blackburn<\/span><\/a> (Tenn.) are all re-elected.<\/span><\/p>\n While Blackburn is not an attorney, that has never stopped her from being as assertive as any of her committee peers. It was Marsha who asked the now infamous question to Biden Supreme Court nominee, Ketanji Brown Jackson, \u2018what is a woman?<\/i>\u201d from which Jackson has never recovered.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Both Cruz and Hawley can be counted on to aggressively question every nominee, articulating each and every flaw and shortcoming, no doubt in the hope that one Democrat may have a moment of conscience and not vote to advance that nominee to the Senate floor. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In addition, the Democrat cry-babies who are genetically adverse to dealing with a difference of opinion have specifically identified Justice Clarence Thomas as a target for controversy<\/span><\/a> and criticism, due to his intellectual superiority and leading role in recent Court decisions.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The striking thing is that no matter how incompetent or unprofessional, the Biden appointees\u00a0ALWAYS receive every Democratic vote, both in the committee and on the\u00a0Senate floor with nary a peep of resistance.\u00a0 Not one of them ever recognizes a seriously flawed nominee or not support that nominee.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
