I have read that has been McConnell's mission, to be totally dedicated to "stacking the courts" while the rest have been distracted by other late-breaking news.
Thanks for this link. Very interesting. Another problematic process that clearly needs to be changed. I think all Senators should be docked pay if they donтАЩt confirm a jurist for an opening in a certain amount of time.
They don't have to confirm every nomination - this last Senate has sinned greatly against the American people by confirming so many unqualified people - but they should be required to hold hearings and vote.
This case does not apply now, because of what McConnell and his lemmings did all throughout ObamaтАЩs presidency. In fact, I personally think all of Trumps judge appointees should be removed as illegal when McConnell obstructed justice by not holding confirmation hearings on any of ObamaтАЩs nominees. They should all get a redo.
You bring up an interesting point. I wonder how many federal judgeships McConnell blocked...????

105 in the lower courts, plus Merrick Garland to the SC

And what about the current situation with the Supreme Court vacancy? Now or after Jan 20th?
