Not sure how much, if any, of this is true

FIRST ON FOX: Senate Democrats and Republicans struck a late-night deal on judicial votes and confirmations on Wednesday, securing the ability for President-elect Trump to appoint four crucial appellate court judges in his second administration.

As Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., attempts to push through as many President Biden judicial picks as possible, Republicans in the upper chamber have worked to delay the process by using procedural floor maneuvers, causing several late nights.

Around midnight on Wednesday, the parties came to an agreement which would allow Democrats to hold votes on four district court judges in exchange for pulling four higher tier circuit court judicial nominees, a senior GOP Senate source familiar with the matter told Fox News Digital.

These four vacancies will now be Trump's to fill, per the deal, the source said.

However, a Senate Democrat leadership aide familiar with the agreement, said the deal that was reached allowed for the Senate to vote on cloture on nine district court judges this week, and vote to confirm them when they return after Thanksgiving. The aide rejected the GOP source's framing of the agreement.

4. Tsf has been berating R senators to show up and

slow down the process as much as possible. Schumer should tell them to go fuck themselves.

5. So, Senate democrats are telling us that this wasn't as consequential an election as they wanted us to believe it was?

And they're willing to compromise on an already corrupt, morally bankrupt judiciary?

Are they just trying to hurry the dictatorship along?

9. I don't think our current Party is prepared or able to deal with Fascism.

We're seeing that reality in these kinds of actions. The time to make changes was after the 2016 election but we chose the "blame everyone else" strategy and stayed the course.

[NEOH]

6. A milquetoast sounding deal per Dems nt

7. If true it's things like this

make me believe the saying, it's a big club that we are definitely not a part of.

8. If true, Schumer wins the Dick Durbin award

for cowardice and caving in. WTF

10. Time for the old guard to step aside

Seriously, it is fucking long past time the old guard to go the fuck away. Let new and younger leaders fight this shit. I'm sick of these fucking spineless cowards still run the party while we are literally dealing with fascism upcoming.
