We need 8 years of Vance to fix this country, Why? Judges.

We all know about SCOTUS.
But...
Lets go over District courts first.
Have you ever wondered why Trump keeps getting blocked in District courts.

259 R
Why does 8 years of Vance matter.
Bush has only 24% of his district Judges still active.
Obama has 66%.
In 8 more years if Obama loses another 42% of his district judges, Republicans will gain another 114 judges just from replacing the Obama Judges.
That alone would be able to flip the balance into reverse.
Now for Circuit Courts
Bit Better for Team Trump
88D
93R
But now lets look at the difference 8 years make, Bush and Obama both made around 60 appointments in their 8 year terms.
60+ more Republicans to the circuit courts could significantly reshape the courts.
Circuits don't vote as a whole block, but having more members gives you a more likely friendly court.
1st Circuit Targets
This prevents friendly circuit shopping in all but 1st Circuit.
This also allows a number of RINO and Democrat Senior Status justices to leave as well.
Lets do it!
This is how we fight back, volunteer, and vote.
ETA: Added actual Ages and R held Circuit courts.

Six D Justices will be in their 70s, One or more pickups, could flip the circuit.
This prevents friendly circuit shopping in all but 1st Circuit.
This also allows a number of RINO and Democrat Senior Status justices to leave as well.

Republicans don’t do anything Vance won’t either
Posted on 1/30/26 at 7:47 pm to CrazyCadillac
Appointing not terrible judges is about the only thing the GOP does. I think Vance would do a decent job here

Nah, its about brining cases to the courts.
Soros is a mastermind. District attorneys.

Conservative orgs like ADF have gotten really good at picking cases to bring to get laws changed. Their SCOTUS W-L record is pretty remarkable over the last few years.

Personally there’s no democrat that can hold JD’s jock.
They are all clowns

It doesn't matter. Republicans just don't do anything.

Half of those GOP judges will take any bribe they can get.

Vs the religious fanatics that the Dems put in who are very willing to ignore the law.

George W, Barrack Hussein, and Sleepy Joe are all the same. No need to distinguish from each others’ judges.

Some of Bush's were good, but I agree a number not.
Either way going to be a lot getting replaced with better judges.

Doesn't matter if the damn Senate won't confirm.
Posted on 1/30/26 at 9:21 pm to Narax
Our destruction has been in the works for over a hundred years. I doubt another 8 years will be enough.
Posted on 1/30/26 at 9:45 pm to Narax
Dang, thanks. You put some work into this post.
I think the problem is going to be that many of the appointed Republican judges will be of the Rino variety. The few Republican judges I know are all Rinos - basically Democrats that had to run as Republicans to get elected

We thought it started in 2016. The longer they are embedded the harder to remove.

The confirmation hold is a major problem. Especially when each states senators need to sign off on them first.
