But, but, this is presidential election year and you can't confirm a judge so close to the election

Get rid of the esteemed well qualified, experienced judges that are respected by their peers, and replace them with Trump's version of a lawyer.
You know the ones he likes, the compliant young graduates from third tier law schools that had to make several runs at the bar before getting a commemorative law license. These grinning fools have no experience, many have never sat on the bench in an actual courtroom... I dunno, does traffic court count?
Sure, give us another layer of Republican idiots shaping laws based on the daily whim of someone like a Trump.
