Democrat Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) told Politico this week that he and Joe Biden schemed over the past four years to get as many liberal judges nominated as possible ahead of a potential Donald Trump re-election.
With Trump winning last month’s election, Democrats rushed through a new batch of judges just before Christmas, making the total amount of new federal judges confirmed under Biden a record 235.
The White House released an image earlier this week celebrating the news.
Senator Schumer boasted, “The judiciary will be one of our strongest — if not our strongest — barrier against” the Trump administration.
He then fearmongered about how the MAGA movement is basically anti-everything, saying, “They’re going to come after everything. They have so many different parts of MAGA: the people who are anti-women’s rights; the people who are anti-environment; the people who are anti-working people rights and union rights; the people who are anti-the consumer. They’re going to use the judiciary in every way they can.”
The top Democrat explained that “having judges that are not MAGA judges, that are not extreme judges, is more important than it’s ever been,” as he and Biden selected “civil rights lawyers, voting rights experts, teachers, mentors, union reps and scholars” instead of the traditional attorney or prosecutor with experience at major law firms.
In other words, the Democrats purposely chose the most radical leftists they could in order to throw the incoming Trump administration into disarray and continue implementing the globalist neo-liberal agenda.
