WASHINGTON—The Senate confirmed Thursday an outspoken 38-year-old conservative judge from Kentucky for a seat on a federal appeals court in the nation’s capital.

The 51-42 vote places U.S. District Judge Justin Walker of Louisville on the powerful U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, which regularly hears challenges to federal rules and regulations. Recently the court also has hosted several legal battles between House Democrats and President Trump.

Cool...just as the other partt has done, its oooouuurrrr turn fkers

McConnell has done as much damage to our Country as Trump. Hopefully, the majority of voters in Kentucky in November feel the same way.

ColbyPenadios Was Springtime for Hitler playing in the background?

These are lifetime position (Article III) appointments— trend now is to appoint those under 40 for maximum long term advancement of a political agenda. This wasn’t always the case, appointments 10-30 yrs ago were experienced Judges and Atty’s 50-60, and supported by both parties.

How does this crap happen? I am so tired of UNqualified judges being PUSHED thru our Senate because of MoscowMitch.

Of course Moscow Mitch’s wayward sheep would!

that's not swampy at all.

Is there a processes for recalling judges ....?

but you guys at FoxNews & must be in heaven!!! Another one guaranteed to upend actual laws to favor the wealthy and corporations!!! And ensure white males reign supreme....great day, right ....looking forward to your editorial justifying this....

another inexperienced, unqualified partisan on the bench....impeachments are going to be an ongoing drama in the years ahead.....

Thrus trying to stack the deck...., Biden will have a LOT of work to do...

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🇺🇸💃🏽🇺🇸💃🏽🇺🇸💃🏽🇺🇸💃🏽🇺🇸👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Way to go !!

Yet another MConnell Federalist soldier inserted in place, for life, before the coming GoP electoral train wreck. McConnell will be long gone, but his seedling zealots will be poisoning the federal judiciary for decades. That's the bargain Mitch struck.

Hey! Appoint 'em right out of the womb for god sake. Doesn't mean they're going to last forever. Seriously, If you want a single party you should have said that in the beginning

impeachhim on 2021

Trump Pence Task Force messed by shutting down all churches across the country for 3 months. Fauci and Birx recommendations have been political, and liberal. McConnell by confirming Justin today is trying to fix this mistake. Will it be enough to calm down religious groups?

This is so cool! how do I sign up for this gig? Please share the vote tally so we can see which spineless republicans are up in November. CT and RBG need to ride out this president. NovemberIsComing

Another Trump YES man!!!!

WSJ and its contact tracing tech in action when talking about Conservatives. God forbid the same bs headline is used when a Pelosi/DNC/Soros affiliate is nominated anywhere.

Perfect

MoscowMitch's 'pool boy.' VoteOutTheGOP VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

Senate confirms Trump's pick to the D.C. CircuitThe Senate on Thursday confirmed Justin Walker, President Donald Trump’s nominee to the second most powerful court in the country He is unqualified and unfit for this position. Moscow Mitch making the mockery of the judiciary. Good. Disgusting...Life Long Appointments must be reconsidered!!! In the meantime, I hope Merrick Garland makes Justin pour him his coffee for the next 20 years ( or at least the next 12 months after which he will likely be impeached)
