Warren said, “What Donald Trump is telling us is what the standard is for all these jobs, and that standard is complete loyalty to Donald Trump, and what we normally do is… “It's not about experience or qualifications, it's not about how good you can be at this job, it's not about loyalty to Donald Trump.” The American people or the Constitution? It's absolute loyalty to Donald Trump. He makes that clear with each of these nominations. ”

There are 28 nominated judges who have gone through the process. We need to spend every minute making sure these judges are confirmed. The Supreme Court has been captured by extremists, but this is about the Court of Appeals and District Courts. These are lifelong commitments. Donald Trump can't remove them. And it helps bring a little more stability to our legal system. Democrats need to spend every minute on this until it is approved by a judge. ”
