Border security isn't the only thing on President Trump's agenda that Democratic leader Chuck Schumer intends to interrupt. Democrats vowed to “reject any end-of-the-year deal on judicial nominations, signaling they’ll toe a tougher line on court appointments amid heavy pressure from the left.” And so far they are living up to the pledge. The president shared his frustrations Tuesday on Twitter.
For FAR TOO LONG Senate Democrats have been Obstructing more than 350 Nominations. These great Americans left their jobs to serve our Country, but can’t because Dems are blocking them, some for two years-historic record. Passed committees, but Schumer putting them on hold. Bad!
Despite all the Senate hurdles from Democrats, Trump has set a record for the number of appeals judges confirmed during a president’s first two years.

At this snail's pace, there remain more than twice as many vacancies as there were under Presidents Bill Clinton or George W. Bush. Radio host Hugh Hewitt predicts that the process is nowhere near a conclusion because Democrats have these congressional tricks at their disposal.
