Incoming Senate Majority Leader Senator John Thune led action in the Senate to put the brakes on plans by Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer to load the Senate’s remaining schedule for the year with Democrat judicial nominees
Senate Republicans opted to delay votes and draw out floor action on Monday night after Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., sought to stack additional judicial confirmation votes on the calendar ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.
Two sources familiar told Fox News Digital that the plan to slow down the Senate was spearheaded by Senate Minority Whip John Thune, R-S.D., who was recently elected as the next Republican Senate leader.
“If Sen. Schumer thought Senate Republicans would just roll over and allow him to quickly confirm multiple Biden-appointed judges to lifetime jobs in the final weeks of the Democrat majority, he thought wrong,” Thune told Fox News Digital in an exclusive statement.
Thank you, Senator Thune!!
Stud.
Now on to getting Gaetz confirmed.
Or, replace Gaetz with someone who isn’t a complete trainwreck that would actually know how to fix the DOJ like Sen. Mike Lee? Easy confirmation, more knowledgeable, and no known desire to bang minors.
According to the Washington Post, DOJ career prosecutors recommended no charges for Gaetz in a sex-trafficking probe.

The accusations against Gaetz were based solely on the testimony of Joel Greenberg, a former Gaetz ally and Florida tax collector. Greenberg is currently serving 11 years in prison for crimes including accusing one of his political opponents of raping a minor. Greenberg discovered the two bogus witnesses against his former friend, Gaetz, including a woman who claimed to have sex with the congressman when she was a minor.
Although the DOJ closed its case against Gaetz in 2022, the Republican-led House Ethics Committee still decided to go after him the following year, presumably to punish the congressman for helping oust former Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, angering many of the latter’s allies.
About time. Thank you and keep up that steadfastness and support/help/convince others to do the same on Trump’s appointments. Including Kristi and especially Gaetz as someone mentions above.
The good Senator can do a hard pass on Gaetz, and it would not break my heart. Same goes for RFK jr.
Gaetz should be in front of the Attorney General, not the Attorney General. With the clean sweep, we now need to present the Christian values of the party. We need to put into place those who know the difference between right and wrong.
Come back to reality! There’s nothing Christian about the party after backing serial cheater, pay-for-abortion Trump.
Gaetz represents “Christian Values”?? Please do not treat the correspondents on this site as fools. What is “Christian” about Mr. Gaetz’s values.??
Pretty sure Jesus only talked about owning the libs right? Don’t recall any mention of helping the poor, healing the sick, or any of that other socialist malarkey right?
The age of consent when Jesus was around was less than the age Matt Gaetz paid to sleep with. The kids Matt paid off were almost adults, it is a witch hunt.
Very creepy and still a [alleged – pp]
If Gaetz and/or Kennedy (or any other nominee) are found WITH legal or financial improprieties, please explain why they should be confirmed?
If Gaetz and/or Kennedy (or any other nominee) are found WITHOUT legal or financial improprieties, please explain why they should be not be confirmed?
What does “legal” mean anymore, if the leader says it doesn’t count, it doesn’t count? It is that simple folks.
There will be an investigation by the Committee and a committee report that will detail what they find where members can vote and express their verdict on these matters.
Why should anyone vote against these nominees if they don’t find legal or financial improprieties? Why should anyone vote for them if they find legal or financial improprieties?
Give your own rational answer to the questions. If you can’t or won’t but make statements like that, you are no better than those you criticize. If you want our system to work, expect it to work.
