Argued the d. C. Circuit doesnt have a high enough caseload. There just arent enough cases there to justify a full complement of 11 judges. I would note the same republican senators did not make that argument in 2005 when the Senate Confirmed Janice Rogers brown and Thomas Griffith to the tenth and 11th judgeships on the d. C. Circuit. Mr. President , i ask for order in the senate, please. The presiding officer the chamber will be in order.

They did everything wrong. Rudy giuliani will weigh in, our investigation tonight. Frustrated americans all across the country, seeing it everywhere. They are now beginning to revolt against the lock down. Wait until you see the beaches at huntington this weekend and california as 33 states are now in the process of lifting restrictions and opening up and at least one professional Sports League is days away from returning to action. There is hope there. Well have more in moments. We do turn to our top story. The hypocrisy, deceit that is the modern extreme democratic radical socialist party. For weeks, joe biden, he has done his best to ignore Sexual Assault allegations levied against him by a former staffer. Her name is tara reade. Too graphic to repeat on television. I guess makeup is did it, but we wont. Trying to give cover with glowing endorsements. The mob in the media, they asked them not one single question about the reade allegation. The i believers are nowhere to be found and
