Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him! (Is. 30:18)
“President Trump hopes to have the rest of his first slate of federal appeals court judges seated by June, but his advisers increasingly are worried that Democrats may use an obscure tactic to try to block some of them through what is called a ‘soft filibuster.’
Senators traditionally are given the courtesy of a say in nominees from their states through a practice known as the “blue slip.” An unreturned blue slip can sink a nomination.
Left without the power to block judges via a floor filibuster, Democrats are trying to figure out how far they can push the blue slip process to block at least some of the president’s conservative legal minds.
‘There’s a concern that the Democrats could use the blue slip as a soft filibuster — as a way of basically stopping the nominations process,’ a person familiar with the selection process told The Washington Times.
Mr. Trump is pushing to fill some 20 appeals court vacancies that existed when he took office, giving him an extraordinary chance to shape the federal judiciary for the foreseeable future. . . .
As a Senate tradition, Republicans are not required to respect the blue slip process. Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, Iowa Republican, has said he generally intends to follow it with respect to Mr. Trump’s lower-court nominees, though he left room open to move appeals court picks even over the objections of home-state senators.
‘I think the blue slip is more respected for district court judges historically than it has been for circuit,” Mr. Grassley said in an interview for C-SPAN’s ‘Newsmakers.’ ‘It’s much more a White House decision on circuit judges than the district court judges.’ (Excerpted from The Washington Times, reporting by Alex Swoyer.)

Multitude, multitude in the valley of decisions! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. Who is the man who fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the way he should choose. Why should they say among the people, “where is their God?”. Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. In Jesus name!
Oh LORD…May Trump, Pence and all government Believers seek YOUR wisdom & discernment and act on it. May their banner be LOVE, as that is what turns the hearts of the unbelievers. May they be shrewd as snakes, innocent as doves. May they be filled with the Holy Spirit to accomplish the work set before them. May our nation be broken over their sins and turn their hearts back to our Creator, that we may be blessed again.
President Trump, you have been appointed by the Lord to fulfill His purposes for this day and time. He has given you a bold heart, and you need not fear if you walk humbly before Him and listen to His voice, paying no heed to the clamour of the world, but seeking only to please God rather than men.
I pray for you, your family, and your Administration. God bless America, may her greatness be revealed through her honouring the Name of the Lord God Almighty and walking in righteousness.
LET GOD ARISE AND LET ALL OF PRESIDENT TRUMP’S ENEMIES BE SCATTERED!!!
We pray for you President Trump and for all of your family and administration daily!
We believe you are God’s appointed man for this time and that there is no weapon formed against you and your entire team that will EVER prosper!! God choose you and He doesn’t change His mind nor does He waiver. As you and your administration continue to seek God and His wisdom and follow God’s leading every day you will never be defeated!! God is with you, millions of believers are with you and together with God’s help and guidance WE WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN IN THE NAME OF JESUS!!
Since God is for you President Trump and Vice President Pence, who in the world can be against you!! Thanks for standing tall in the face of opposition because you have chosen to trust the Lord of all creation!! I am praying daily for you both, your families, and the whole Trump administration! In Jesus Name I decree and declare that “NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST YOU WILL PROSPER and that EVERY TONGUE THAT RISES UP TO CONDEMN, YOU WILL DESTROY WITH THE TRUTH of GOD’S WORD!!” Blessed be the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ!!
I would love a list of the things you pray for so that I might join you i this righteous endeavor! God bless you!
Holy Spirit, reveal Your will to our government. Let them hear Your voice above all others & conform their will to yours. Be Lord of our nation. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Daily prayers go out for the Trump Administration, especially for Pres. Trump and family and VP Pence and family. Also for Trey Gowdy who has “stuck his neck out” investigating the evils that have been perpetrated bringing them to light and to eventual justice. God bless all of you who honor Him and acknowledge Jesus as Savior. God bless America.
I’m praying specifically at this time for renewed strength & encouragement for all who are interceding on behalf of our great nation for President Trump, his advisors & cabinet, the Whitehouse Bible Study & Prayer Group, that all of you (& us) will remain committed to God’s vision & purposes, remaining steadfast, diligent & persistent in the place of prayer & intercession. God is Almighty, Omniscient & Omnipresent & Omnipotent, & He is Faithful to keep that which we have committed to Him & to bring it forth. “No weapon formed against us shall prosper.” Therefore, help us, Holy Spirit, to “not be weary in well doing (praying, trusting God, & doing what He leads us to do), knowing that in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Help us, Lord, to remain steadfast, focused, fixed and secure in You, in faith & in prayer. In Jesus’ Name! Amen!
Amen. Well done Anita. May we give praise, glory, and honer to our Father in heaven.
the bible says “no weapon formed against you shall prosper”. I pray that President Trump relies completely on God, Who has NEVER lost a battle. He will bring him through to victory. The deception and sin of those in government will be exposed. God will give President Trump the victory…as he is doing. We can expect Satan’s followers to fight against all that is godly and right.
SEE ABOVE FOR MY REPLY.
