Since the November 5 election, you’ve probably seen a lot of Republican senators on television yakking away about Trump’s landslide victory and perhaps their own election/re-election. Right-leaning commentators should have asked some of them why they weren’t in Congress to STOP radical progressive judges from being confirmed.
With Vice President Kamala Harris vacationing in Hawaii, Republicans might have had the votes to stop some nominations IF all the Republicans showed up to do the job they were elected to do. For instance, on November 18, the Senate approved radical Democrat Embry Kidd for the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.

This leftist judge will make decisions that will affect Alabama, Florida and Georgia. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was livid that Republican senators were absent from Congress to vote this awful nominee down. DeSantis posted on X: "This leftist judge would have been voted down and the seat on the important 11th Circuit would have been filled by Donald Trump next year had Republicans showed up. Now, the leftist judge will have a lifetime appointment and the people of FL, AL and GA will suffer the consequences."
Louisiana Senator John Kennedy Speaking about senators who don’t show up for Senate judicial votes: “They (judicial nominees) did horrible jobs in committee, and we had the votes to prevent them from being confirmed, but some of the folks on our side couldn’t be here, and it’s frustrating.” —
