Judges backing out of retirement ahead of Trump term leave GOP senators fuming
Fox News
Republicans have expressed frustration after several judges are announcing unretirements that would prevent Trump from appointing their successors.
The move angered Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., whose state is under the circuit's jurisdiction. "Judge Wynn's brazenly partisan decision to rescind his retirement is an unprecedented move that demonstrates some judges are nothing more than politicians in robes. Judge Wynn clearly takes issue with the fact that Donald Trump was just elected President, and this decision is a slap in the face to the U.S. Senate, which came to a bipartisan agreement to hold off on confirming his replacement until the next Congress is sworn-in in January," he said in a statement.
