Later that evening at 22:00 UTC, Schmitt announced Senate approval of judicial nominees: "CONFIRMED!
The Senate has confirmed all four of President Trump's excellent nominees to serve the Eastern District of Missouri.
This is great news for Missouri and the rule of law! https://t.co/fpCclAxtvZ" (September 9, 2025).
At 22:58 UTC on the same day, Schmitt commented on broader political dynamics in Washington: "The American people sat in the jury box and rendered their verdict in November—they voted for President Trump & his team.
But Democrat's rampant TDS and unprecedented obstruction has plunged the Senate into a deep freeze.
No longer. The great thaw is coming. https://t.co/onPpWDVya8" (September 9, 2025).
Pat Buchanan, referenced by Schmitt as deserving of national recognition, is a former White House adviser and three-time presidential candidate known for influencing conservative politics in America over several decades. The Presidential Medal of Freedom is considered one of the highest civilian honors in the United States.
The confirmation of four federal judges to Missouri's Eastern District marks a significant development for federal courts in that region. Federal judicial nominations are subject to Senate approval before appointees can take office.
Schmitt’s remarks about “the great thaw” refer to ongoing partisan tensions within the U.S. Senate during recent sessions marked by delays and disputes over confirmations and legislative priorities.
