ā€œā€¦four of Abbottā€™s last six judicial appointments to fill key court vacancies have been former Republican judges who lost their 2018 racesā€¦ā€

The people did not want them but the GOP said, ā€˜Too bad!ā€™ THIS is why we need good Democrats running for the Senate, ESPECIALLY Texas and Kentucky.

That worm McConnell, worst politician since Jesse Helms, is packing the Federal Judiciary with very young trump lawyers appointed for LIFE. After refusing President Obama his Supreme Court pick. Heā€™s a despicable excuse for a human being.

We gotta get rid of Mitch.

A reminder who Abbott is. He won a multi-million dollar lawsuit against the ā€œgrossly negligentā€ homeowners and their insurance company for a tree that fell on him after he chose to jog after a severe storm.
When he was the Attorney General of the State he campaigned for and pushed for several laws limiting ā€œfrivolous lawsuitsā€ and putting caps on monetary awards for personal injury accidents.
He also opposes, no shock the ADA as big government. Heā€™d probably cheer Richard Widmark in the film Kiss of death.

Democrats: take note, do likewise, and then do it even more. Weā€™re playing chess, theyā€™re playing war.
