Chuck Schumer got the most lifetime Federal judge appointments in history. I’ll never understand the beating up of him and Jeffries

Agreed. I can get the disappointment in Schumer. But Jeffries has done everything that a minority leader can. I wish he wouldn't gesture so much with his hands, but that's a personal thing.

Every other job requires you to keep up with the times. Why not politicians? This is not the 1990s (or 80s, for that matter); your methods need to evolve with the changing landscape. If you're fighting with weapons and tactics from the previous war, you're most likely going to lose _this_one_.

Ok, what does that statistic look like when you divide by years served? That's also a metric that basically just goes for whoever held the ball at the right time for the longest 🫠 and he didn't secure appointments when it was the most critical for him to do so.

Actually, he had to manipulate Republicans to get some of those judges at the end. Many couldn’t have done that
