Question for legal minds

[notinkansas]

Does anybody think it would be possible to reverse the judicial appointments made under Mitch McConnell? He is able to stack the courts with conservative judges because of his refusal to do his job under Obama.

It seems to my nonlegal mind that that kind of precedent cannot stand!

1. No chance.

Take back the Senate and Presidency in 2020 and there are things we can do to mitigate it that will break McConnell's heart, but we ca talk about it then.

3. It's not right

for one person to be able to singlehandedly effectively destroy another branch of government.

4. It's just how the process works

It's become overly politicized on both sides to be honest.

The major change over the past 30 years is the precision with which the right produces judges. These people are trained, vetted, and prepared for confirmation from law school forward.

8. It wasn't single handed, he had a lot of help.

2. Nope.

Can't change it. Cant'stop it.

He totally out-played Harry Reid politically, and this is the result.

5. Toothpaste out of the tube

McConnell may be a contemptible asshole, but he knew how to play this game.

6. Impeachment is the only way to reverse these appointments

7. And it might actually be do-able once we flip the Senate (flip it HARD).

Given the criminal proclivities of every Trump nominee we've ever looked at, one can reasonably assume that every one of his judicial nominees is a really bad criminal. Investigate, impeach, and remove them. One by one.

9. Your suggestion seems like the only way we'll be able to preserve a free America for

the future generations. I'm 10,000% in favor.
