Proving every second, every minute, every hour, every day, their ungodliness. Seems like they are NOT worried about 2026 election. What do they know?

But this is truly one of the most horrible things the gop has done to our country. Putting bove on an appeals court is like putting a wolf on the court of hens.

Third US Senate Democrat to vote against Muslim judicial nominee Mangi
By Nate Raymond
March 28, 20241:47 PM EDTUpdated March 28, 2024

March 28 (Reuters) - Adeel Mangi's chances of winning confirmation in the U.S. Senate to become the nation's first Muslim federal appeals court judge have been diminished after Senator Jacky Rosen of Nevada became the latest Democrat to publicly announce she would vote against him.
Rosen announced her opposition to President Joe Biden's newest nominee to the Philadelphia-based 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals late Wednesday, after two other Democrats said they would join with Senate Republicans to vote against confirming him.

Or does it only work for Republicans when they want to delay Democratic nominations?

Asking for a friend.

Otherwise, we would run out of judges because everyone would be filibustered.
