(Twitchy) At a Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee fundraiser last night in Texas Barack Obama made an astonishing admission that we are “remaking the courts.”
Here is the full quote via the White House.gov transcript:
TweetWe were able to reform our financial system so that the likelihood of taxpayer funded bailouts is a lot less than it was. We were able to expand funding for young people going to college. We were able to expand national service for young people who want to serve. We fought long and hard for consumer protections that weren’t there before.
As Lisa mentioned, we are remaking the courts. I know we got some lawyers here and here in Texas, sometimes people feel a little frustrated about the pace of appointments here in Texas but you should know that in addition to the Supreme Court, we’ve been able to nominate and confirm judges of extraordinary quality all across the country on federal benches. We’re actually, when it comes to the district court, matching the pace of previous President’s. When it comes to the appellate court, we’re just a little bit behind and we’re just going to keep on focused on it.
