Interesting - 1 under Jimmy Carter, 3 under Bill Clinton, and 2 each under GW Bush and Barack Obama. Slightly surprised by Bush, but not completely. He strikes me as more of the ingrained racist who doesn't even realize it (oblivious to his white privilege), rather than the outspoken and knowing white supremacist like Reagan and Trump.

Maybe a nice, cold lager, but more likely a glass of chilled white wine while sitting on a shady patio. Or an icy pina colada at a beach bar in the Caribbean. Yeah, that's the ticket!!

So Candace Jackson-Akiwumi was nominated for Amy Carrot's 7th Circuit seat. She's been approved by the committee but has yet to get a floor vote. I think she was grilled in Judiciary the same day as Ketanji Brown-Jackson. She was also impressive. She worked as a federal public defender for 10 years.

Doesn't really matter; they sign off on them, they take responsibility.

Slowly but surely, Democrats can fill the courts--just have to hold the Senate as long as possible. And follow the McConnell rule of not letting any GOP president's picks come to a vote, ever.
