1. Thank you, US!

2. You welcome

3. I notice that you

are all about letting us know about the Judiciary branch of the Govt. and I really appreciate the news.

And, these two latest appointees look like some interesting Judges.

4. Louis Butler will make an excellent district court judge

He served on the Wisconsin Supreme Court until he was unseated by a dim bulb of a county judge who ran racist TV ads. (Hang head in shame for Wisconsin's lack of discernment.) His background is in the real world, and you can't get much more real than being a public defender.

5. GOP doesn't like him making me like him even more

Had to do something right for that to happen.

7. Not sure they like anything Obama does..they're

like the grumpy ol perverts.

10. Obama could appoint the corpse of St. Ronnie to the bench and they'd find a reason to vote "NO"

they are that kind of idiots

11. the better the judge the greater the opposition

12. You're singing to the choir here.

:fistbump:

6. Thanks for that inside info.

Glad Obama recognized him! When one door shuts.. there's a window somewhere, flying open!

8. You notice the republicans are holding up the appointments

like they did with Clinton. That way they think they are going to win the White House in 2012 and have all those vacancies they can fill. They do it every time.

9. It seems both parties do this, GOP seems to be holding them up in the full Senate, I would guess to

Slow down health care reform.

13. Louis Butler Will Be Fantastic!

Wish we had a decent replacement for him on the Wi. Supreme Court though.:-(

14. Now hopefully the full senate vote comes SOON, and

doesn't get delayed for months like the David Hamilton one did....
