Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-SC): Pack Federal Courts w/Right Wingers

 

This isn’t the first Award presented to Lindsey. In the past, he has been the recipient of thirty-eight (38) Awards in various categories. Those awards are listed at the end of this article and can be viewed by going to the listed categories.

 

It should be noted that Lindsey has had his significant snout firmly implanted in the public trough for the past thirty-seven (37) years. Apparently, no self-respecting law firm in the greater Charleston area was about to offer Lindsey a good paying job.

 

FYI:  Lindsey is another in a long list of loser attorneys that decided to go into politics after learning how difficult it was to earn a dishonest living practicing law after he graduated from the University South Carolina School of Law in 1981. Therefore, he decided to go into the second most ethical profession (used car salesman No. 1), politics.

 

In the not to distant past, Lindsay was and continues to be hellbent on stacking the federal judiciary with a bunch of right-wing idealogues in the mold of Justices Clarence “This Coke’s for You” Thomas,

 

Towards that end, Lindsay made the following comments while speaking to right wing host Hugh Hewitt.

  • “This is an historic opportunity.”  
  • “We’ve [Trump and Federalist Society] put over 200 federal judges on the bench.”
  • “I think one in five federal judges are Trump appointees.”
  • “If you can get four more years, I mean, it would change the judiciary for several generations.”
  • “So, if you’re a circuit judge in your mid-60s, late 60s, you can take senior status, now would be a good time to do that, if you want to make sure the judiciary is right of center [meaning religious idealogues/right wing screwballs.”

Senior status is an ongoing scam that allows federal judges to go into semi-retirement beginning at age 65 with 15 years on the bench. The senior judge continues to receive a full salary; however, he/she is only required to work 10 hours a week. And lastly, it allows for the senior judge’s position to be filled by a new appointee of the current president.

 

In general terms, what Lindsay and his fellow unpatriotic republicans wish to do is to stack the federal bench to assure they get the right wing/religious rulings they could not possibly accomplish via legislation.

 

One example of this court packing is the appointment of Amarillo, Texas Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk who was unanimously adjudged totally unqualified by the American Bar Association. Right wing loons from throughout the country are dedicated to filing their shame lawsuits in Amarillo knowing full well that every case will by assigned to Matty. This kind of conduct gives “judge shopping” a bad name!

 

Another example of court packing are the three right wing fanatics appointed by Donald Trump, Brett “I like Beer” Kavanaugh, Neil M. Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett. I wonder just how proud these three justices are of knowing they were appointed by a twice impeached, jury adjudged sexual abuser, 34 felony counts in New York, proud and admitted pussy grabber, and serial liar.

 

It shouldn’t be long before these three justices can also take pride in Trump’s appointments when he’s criminally indicated for seditious conspiracy in attempting to overthrow the government, his illegal possession of top-secret documents, and wire fraud for collecting at least $200 million from his followers by lying that the money was to establish fraud in the 2020 election.

 

Unfortunately, Lindsey and his fellow republicans in the Senate would be quite happy if all 9 justices on the Supreme Court were Alito or Thomas clones, that all 179 appellate judges were like right wing screwball Judge Don Willet of the 5th Circuit, and that all of the 673 District Court judges were clones of right-wing loon and religious nutcase, Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk of Amarillo, Texas.

 

Goshes and Gollies and Gee Whillickers, if Lindsey and his boss Sen. Mitch O’Connell can succeed making sure that all 870 Article II judgeships are filled by right-wing/religious fanatics, then you can be assured that the US of A will become nothing more than a Russian lookalike.
