AOC tells DCCC fundraising coalition to go f-ck itself

[storyteller]

Judicial appointments.

Current Dem leadership has pretty much given those battles away as it is. Schumer has been bargaining away any chance to delay these appointments for years. Here are a couple of examples:

Democrats agree to confirmations of 15 Trump judges

While the House Impeaches, the Senate Will Confirm 13 More Trump Judges

So I'd actually include taking this issue seriously as part of the changes we're looking for.

Sometimes things have to get worse before they get better. You can't rebuild without destroying first. These old fogies are standing in the way of progress it is actually their fault not the new blood.

good the Democratic party should be destroyed... Finally took one person to have the balls to say it with their actions

HL doesn't have one common thought.

I thought all McConnell needed was 51 votes. He has 53. What does he need Democrat for?

I was just thinking that... everyone loves AOC, but they arent paying attention to the big picture.

Tell us Mr. free markets

The idea is to delay and drag out the proceedings. The additional benefit would be to call more attention to the appointments and how serious of an impact they have on our legislative future. So you galvanize the base to realize that the GOP is passing some horrendous judges and also to force the GOP to put in the maximum time necessary to pass each of these guy. Call more attention to the problem, make these guys work their damndest to get the Judges through.

Dems definitely about to take another L this year fighting over this dumb shyt.

dems have an untenable coalition regardless, IMO. i don't know how they hold together all these special interest groups as well as centrist/moderate and progressive economic factions. unless they decide what 3-4 tenets all dems will stand on (similar to repubs with guns, low taxes and morality), i don't see how this party will ever be effective.

If they grind everything to halt spending 30 hours per judge? Yes, it will become a story.

Mainly on two occasions:
1. When Schumer works out these deals to pass a group of judges at once
2. When a judge who the ABA calls unqualified gets passed through anyway

But I don't think the scope of this has been well covered outside of a few good spots. I remember Vox did a deep look at the implications of this once.

I don't think any reasonable person could argue against this.
