Only if the appointees are bad (which, since it's Trump and "stuff up the deep state" project 2025, there's probably a lot of bad appointees). If we obstruct appointees that are good, we'll just keep seeing the pendulum swinging when a new party comes into power.

I don't believe you're making that argument in good faith. Every one of his nominees have been ridiculous caricatures of stereotypical MAGA car salesman

IIRC he had like two or so with good credentials. The one replacing Lina Khan I think was surprisingly good.

There's more appointees than Trump's cabinet, which I agree is bad. There's for example district court judges.

None of Trump's appointees are good. If they were, they would refuse to serve under him.

Appointed federal judges do not have obligations to Trump and may strike down his orders.

Sure bud. It's not like they didn't block Biden's stuff and rubber stamped Trump's stuff.

I do not think that is enough reasoning for claiming they're incompetent for blocking their nominations. The Supreme Court has 2 or 3 problem justices, yes, but just look at the plethora of court cases against Trump with injunctions right now. Quite a bit of them were speedily decided under Trump appointees.

Please name a single person Trump has picked for a cabinet position that is objectively good.
