Biden Gets Through Some Key Judicial Appointments

President Biden got some key judicial appointments pushed through Congress thanks to lame no-show Republicans, too busy kissing rings to block some federal judges, as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has promised to appoint as many Biden judges as possible in the lame duck period.

GOP Senators including Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Mike Braun, Kevin Cramer, and Bill Hagerty were absent when a 51-44 vote confirmed Mustafa Taher Kasubhai to be a U.S. District Court judge in Oregon.

The Senate has finally confirmed Mustafa Kasubhai to be a federal judge in Oregon — putting an end to ugly and weird attacks from Republicans like Ted Cruz, who baselessly accused him of being a Marxist and read aloud a corny old poem he wrote as proof of this. www.huffpost.com/entry/mustaf…

MAGAworld had a meltdown over the unforced error.

The WSJ editorial board excoriated the missing Republican Senators, saying they couldn’t get their team on the field to block the woke judges.

Sen. John (Pitchfork) Kennedy lambasted absent Republicans: “I’m not going to bubble wrap it,” he told reporters in the Capitol. “There’s no excuse for that, it’s our job to be here and vote.”

Head MAGAt says what:

Florida Top Gov Ron DeSanctimonious also registered his disgust over an unforced error on the part of Senate MAGAts for allowing a Democratic judge from Florida to win confirmation on Monday, who will serve on the Atlanta-based Circuit Court of Appeals.

That judge, Embry Kidd, was confirmed 49 to 45 to serve on the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, even with Sen. Joe Manchin (Idiot-WV) joining Republicans to vote against his nomination.

Some of the missing Republican votes were busy kissing the ring in Texas at a SpaceX rocket launch.

Riding high along for the ride was Junior Trump, who suspiciously rubs his gums and fiddles with something-something in his pocket.
