It happened. That judge shut down Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids in southern California last night. According to Fox News’ Bill Melugin, Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong drafted a tentative decision this week, which sides with the American Civil Liberties Union that virtually shuts down federal agents doing their jobs across several counties. Last night, she made that opinion official. It's absolute lunacy: [Tweets, video]
How did this person get confirmed? Well, ask the 25 Republican senators who never bothered to show up for her confirmation vote. I’m not kidding:

I doubt it would have mattered even if they voted no, not that that is a sure thing. Not showing up protects them from their voters seeing they are nothing but RINOS.

Our Congress flies in Monday morning, shows up Tuesday, leaves Thursday afternoon, for those weeks they show, and excluding the 3 months they don't show.

Every one of these Republicans who missed these votes should be thrown under the bus. I'm sick of their lame, feckless attitude toward stuff that really matters. . .like CONFIRMING JUDGES! The confirmation vote for "Judge" Maam'e Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong was 46-24. If the 25 "Republican" Senators had not missed the confirmation vote, this commie judge wouldn't have made it.
After a little research I found the usual suspect Senators who completely screwed the American people over. The Senator who needs primaried most next year, John Cornyn, was one of the absent Senators on the confirmation vote. Worthless POS. Most of the rest of the absent Senators for this vote is a who's who of Rinos, like McConnell, Romney, Ernst, blah, blah, blah. And the least surprising vote was none other than Lisa Murkowski who voted to confirm this imbecilic judge.
A pox on all Demorats and Rinos, actually they're pretty close to the same thing. Misery enjoys company.

FTA: Judge Amir Ali, who issued an injunction over Trump’s 90-day freeze on foreign aid in February, got through because then-outgoing Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) didn’t show up for work. If he voted against, the confirmation would’ve failed on a 50-50 vote. Then-Vice President Kamala Harris was on vacation in Hawaii, and she wouldn’t have been around to break the tie.
Thankfully my Senators were there and voted no! I’m going to thank them.
I hope you will check and see about yours, and let them hear from you - one way or the other.

judge ping pong, in-cestua o-my, and the rest of the schemers who take the oath, but do not accept, follow, and
uphold, our constitution and laws, are frauds -dangerous illegitimate bloodthirsty marxist frauds.
mr president, we must have a judicial commission of great depth, knowledge, and speed,
to strip them of their falsely-granted robes and credentials.
review and strip their fake citizenship. send them home...unless, of course, they'd enjoy the
lifelong sun and fun of our alcatraz chain of hotels.
similarly, the slags on the hill who don't show up for work and votes, only 'love' 'power' 'money',
will be reviewed for recall -permanently- by a commission,
and /or additionally by the voters.
not the ABA or any other pack of poseurs.
no more mystery money makers,with giant 'portfolios' within a few years of being 'elected'.
we have a deep bench of great ppl kept out of gov't svc by these thieving rattlesnakes.
we need truthful, powerful reforms and professionals of integrity, to save america.

First, the decision needs to be appealed. Second, all of these no-show RINOS need to be primaried. Definitely not MAGA material.

Another reason for no more Legal Immigration into this country - the daughter of legal immigrants. And I don't care what "skills" these legal immigrants bring to the table. Unless they state and swear they want to become Americans then I say No. 99.9% are only here because they have better opportunities to succeed financially - it's all about the money.
BTW - Sen Blackburn didn't bother to show up - kind of surprised but then again, maybe she was busy being interviewed on Fox News, Newsmax and whatever other news shows she is always on.

Q: Senator, why didn't you show up for that vote?
A: It was hot, I was tired, I had been there 2 hours, and I don't like the ACLU.
Q: Oh.

More proof that the Congressional Republicans are very wimpy and is why the leftist progressive and socialist Democrats get away with approving very leftist Democrat Judges. Can you imagine the result if the leftist progressive and socialist Democrats who ran the Biden White House had been able to get about three more leftist Democrat Justices on the Supreme Court? Chances are a lot of the wimpy congressional Republicans would find themselves in jail with their congressional seats being taken over by leftist progressive and socialist Democrat politicians!

Here is the official Senate record of this judge's confirmation vote - including the missing. It was at a link in the article.

While being a natural born US citizen does not appear to matter in the instance of this particular US Federal Judge who has a very Third World foreign sounding name who was reportedly born in the USA. But you would think that all US Federal Judges in judicial positions where they issue rulings in attempts to overrule a natural born citizen elected President of the USA, should also be natural born citizens of the USA?
Clearly that issue does not matter to the leftist progressive and socialist Democrats, who have been nominating people who were born in foreign countries and were citizens of those foreign countries when they were born, and may now still be considered in those countries to be duel citizens of both their birth country and naturalized US citizens to be US Federal Judges, clearly in furtherance of the Democrat diversity, equity, and inclusion, (DEI) political agenda. That issue is something that the US Congress could fix.

These missing in action Senators are a reminder that the Republicans have some house cleaning to do.
