For too long the Senate has taken the responsibility of the approval of Presidental District Judges too lightly. I really cringe when I see the name of a federal judge preceded by the one who appointed him. The decision of a judge should not be a function of who appointed him but should be based on the constitution, statutes and facts.
From what I have seen the approval of judges appointed by presidents is almost laughable, it seems they are approved with little or no vetting. I have witnessed this when I have written to McConnell to question an appointment and I never had the courtesy of a reply.
Too many appointments have been judges who are naturalized citizens. No foreign born judge was raised in a nation that was founded on Judeo/Christian principles. We are having court decisions made by people who have spent their formative years in a foreign nation and in a family where our culture was unknown and not understood. None of these judges have had a family member serve in the US Military and certainly none have ever lost a family member in service to the US. Some judges in recent rulings are from Jaimaica, Columbia, Canada and Uruguay.
Far too many foreign born judges ruling against President Trump have made judgments in a harassing manner and have shown little or no respect for the President or the Constitution. I hope that some of the recent decisions will serve as a wake up call in the Senate, the SCOTUS is stocked from these appointments.
