"Arrr! Judges returnin' from their peaceful coves, makin' GOP sea-dogs fume like a ship's cannon!"
2024-12-16
Arrr! The scallywags of the Republican ship be mighty miffed, as a crew of judges be hoistin’ their sails again, thwartin’ Captain Trump’s quest to find new mateys for the bench! Blimey, ‘tis a right ruckus on the high seas of politics! Avast, ye landlubbers!
Arrr, me hearties! In the wake of that scallywag President-elect Donald Trump's grand 2024 victory, a gaggle of federal judges be swabbin' the decks of retirement and stayin' put, much to the chagrin of some landlubber Republicans in the Senate!Take U.S. Circuit Judge James Wynn, for instance. He cast aside his plans to sail off into the sunset of senior status and kept his post on the bench, stirrin' up a tempest of ire from Sen. Thom Tillis, who reckons Wynn’s decision be a "brazenly partisan" affront! He claims them judges be nothin' but politicians in frilly robes, trying to thwart Trump’s mighty rule.
But nay, the plot thickens! With lower-level appointees also changin' course, it seems the rumor mill be spinnin' tales of judicial mutiny! Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell be likin' this less than a fish likes dry land, callin’ it a “brazen admission” of meddlin’. He urges the incoming administration to look into recusal options, as these judges be makin’ it clear their loyalty lies with the winds of politics! So, hoist the sails, me mateys, for a storm brews in the halls of justice!
