Last we reported, while you were focused on the pandemic, Mitch McConnell kept moving judicial nominees through the Senate confirmation process, with an eye on filling every vacancy by November. If Republicans lose the presidency or the Senate, the ability to transform the judiciary for a generation will be lost notwithstanding...
A three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals has ordered Judge Emmet Sullivan to respond to Michael Flynn’s Emergency Petition for a Mandate ordering the district court to dismiss...
Can you feel the tension? Every time Ruth Bader Ginsburg goes to the hospital or has a medical diagnosis or procedure, you can feel it. What if this is the time?

The Mayor of Louisville, Kentucky, has threatened to fine anyone who attends a drive-in Easter Sunday church service, even though attendees would remain in their cars in the parking lot.
We have long covered the substantial and generational shift in the federal judiciary since Trump took office, particularly at the Court of Appeals level.

Chuck Schumer regularly beats McConnell to the TV cameras, and Nancy Pelosi makes grand pronouncements as if the Senate and McConnell don’t exist.
Appointing conservative judges is the one objective that unites the Republican Party. It is one of the few things the Senate can do without the House.

Donald Trump recently celebrated a milestone — 150 federal court judges confirmed, including 43 Appeals Court judges.
Liberals were late to wake up to the fact that while they were obsessing over supposed Russia collusion, Trump was reshaping the federal judiciary for a generation.
President Donald Trump announced Wednesday morning that he picked Robert C. O’Brien as his new national security adviser. He currently serves as the special presidential envoy for hostage affairs.
The move comes a few days after Trump dismissed John Bolton as his national security adviser. Trump said the two of them had...
President Donald Trump fired National Security Advisor John Bolton because the two men had strong disagreements over policy.
