CitizenVectron Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/16/us/politics/mcconnell-judges-republicans.html?action=click&module=Top Stories&pgtype=Homepage Quote WASHINGTON — Running out of federal court vacancies to fill, Senate Republicans have been quietly making overtures to sitting Republican-nominated judges who are eligible to retire to urge them to step aside so they can be replaced while the party still holds the Senate and the White House. Senator Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky, who has used his position as majority leader to build a judicial confirmation juggernaut for President Trump over the past three years, has been personally reaching out to judges to sound them out on their plans and assure them that they would have a worthy successor if they gave up their seats soon, according to multiple people with knowledge of his actions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneticBlueprint Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Should we really be deciding and confirming judges with an election so close though? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Gotta respect the man's game though. This is why "liberals" will lose over and over again. They're simply unwilling or unable to view American politics as the bloodsport that it actually is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Republicans can travel and foul all they want, but once a single Democratic steps out of line the media goes all out on castigating them. Someone has to play by the rules after all.
