Senate GOP Says They Will Block Biden Nominees Over Trump Lawfare


 In a recent essay in "National Review," he argued for just such a dose of karma for Democrats. Yoo states the obvious: that the Democrats' perversion of the American legal system has greatly damaged the office of the president. 

JD Vance and other Senate Republicans Vow to BLOCK DOJ FUNDING, Biden Nominees: ‘We No Longer Cooperate’

RedState   For the last year, Americans have watched as Donald Trump has garnered four indictments in four Democrat-friendly districts, amassing roughly 91 felony charges. It is an overt display of a weaponized Department of Justice the likes of which this country has never seen. As President Joe Biden looks increasingly weak and cognitively impaired, Democrats know they are in trouble in November, and lawfare has seemed their only way to hang onto power for dear life. But it appears that Senate Republicans may have had just about enough and are tired of playing nice.

"On Thursday, a group of GOP Senators led by Sen. J.D. Vance, which also includes Sens. (R-OH), Mike Lee (R-UT), Bill Hagerty (R-TN), Roger Marshall (R-KS), Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), and Eric Schmitt (R-MO), announced they would put a hold policy on several of President Biden's nominees in response to the ongoing "radical lawfare" against Donald Trump. In addition to various judicial nominees, there are also the pending nominations of deputy undersecretary of the Treasury and general counsel for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI).

"The Senators' announcement also stated that the nominees in question would apply to those who “supported lawfare or censorship” of Trump, “suggested the Trump prosecutions were reasonable,” or endorsed Trump’s guilt. some of the nominees include Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) to represent the U.S. at the U.N. General Assembly, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy's nomination to represent the U.S. on the World Health Organization Board, and former Rep. Charlie Crist (D-FL) to represent the U.S. on the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization. While the nominations are relatively minor, they will force Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) to use valuable Senate floor time on things like judicial nominations, leaving the others to languish or not be confirmed at all. The group says the stall will last through the election." . . .
