You know it's bad when a conservative Texas Republican cannot approve #dearleader's judicial nominees to the Federal Bench.
The lying and #fakenews generated by this POTUS is reaching it's apex. But last night on the PBSNewsHour, they FINALLY had something he really was the very biggest at accomplishing. He has moved 12 mostly unqualified candidates to the federal bench faster than any president in history. Woo Hoo!
