Senate GOP Give Dems Another Win by their Absence.

Amazing these days how little the GOP Senate members are willing to commit to putting any effort into being members of Congress. Biden and his henchmen learned from Trump the importance of moving along judicial nominees. Trump was left with a boat load of vacancies. Not so Biden. It has been one radical judge after another with scant attention made as candidates wind their way through the judiciary committee.
These are lifetime appointments whose radicalism will infect the courts for decades.
Here is one for the point:
Daily Caller:
Democrats successfully installed Nancy L. Maldonado as United States Circuit Judge for the Seventh Circuit on Tuesday with just 4 votes.
Confirmed, 47-43: Executive Calendar #597 Nancy L. Maldonado to be United States Circuit Judge for the Seventh Circuit.
Senate Republicans allowed Democrats to vote in this radical leftist to a lifelong court position because they didn’t show up to work for the American people. Eight Republicans failed to cast a vote on Tuesday. If they had, the motion would have failed.
Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell took to the Senate floor in early June to highlight her incompetence and inability to handle the work after she amassed the largest case backlogs of any federal trial court judge in the country. “Confirming Judge Maldonado to [the 7th Circuit] would be taking a judge who has proven herself incapable of swimming in the shallow end of the pool and throwing her into Lake Michigan,” McConnell said.
Republican Senators Recorded As Not Voting:
• Texas Sen. Ted Cruz
• North Dakota Sen. John Hoeven
• Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin
• Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul
• Idaho Sen. James Risch
• Utah Sen. Mitt Romney
• Florida Sen. Marco Rubio
• Florida Sen. Rick Scott
(Looks like our Floridian Senators really fumbled the ball.)

The American people have long let go of the illusion that our elected officials believe they are working for us as our representation in Congress.
However, when our nation is teetering on the edge of Banana Republic territory as the current president and his regime use the court system to go after American citizens and political dissidents, it seems almost unfathomable that they would allow Biden to install yet another person to the federal courts who will undoubtedly continue the same lawfare playbook. Show up. Do your job. It’s not that hard to vote no against incompetence and tyranny.

About at the 4:05 mark Senator Kennedy inquires about her definition of an assault weapon.
