for them. A small thing, to be sure, but I will not even give them that small dignity. And, believe me, as an ediitor, that caused a bit of a headache at first, but they do not deserve even the ssmall credit of correct rules of grammar and writing.

However, spell check always gives me trouble. Spell check insists on capitalizing them.

christians is one of them that spell check insists on capitalization 🙄

judges is another one I use with lower case. Unless the judge is deserving of the Capital J.

But “Trump administration” is better for clear communications.

10. Can Senate confirmations be revoked?

That's what I want to know.

Revoking a confirmation ought to be easier than arguing over what constitutes impeachable offenses.

Yes, Senate confirmations can effectively be "revoked" or nullified through a few ways: a President can
withdraw a nomination before confirmation, the Senate can reject it outright, or a confirmed official can be removed (though this is rare and usually requires impeachment for high offices like judges/cabinet). Most commonly, confirmations end with a final vote, withdrawal by the President, or return to the President when the Senate adjourns, though the latter is often waived.

I have heard many Democratic political leaders use that term, as if it will hurt him some how, which does the complete opposite, he feels like superman when he hears that. The fact is, he is not the most...etc.

It repeatedly violates the Constitution.
It routinely violates federal laws.
It actively works to harm the people.
Such a government is illegitimate and deserves neither respect or compliance.
