He has been quite artful at setting up the judicial votes for lower court at time of day when few Ds are there and asked for a voice vote on a procedural movement
Rather smooth operator actually.
Just wait until RBG is retired.
The left will really lose it.
FR hysteria corner incoming in . . 3 . . 2 . . . 1 . . . .
Yeah.
I give McConnell much credit for keeping Garland off the Supreme Court.
It’s the best thing he’s ever done.
Remember how the media kept insisting that the Republicans were going to pay dearly for it in November 2016?
Those fools. They are always good for a laugh.
I’m getting impressed with Mitch McConnell... the man knows how to get the job done...
I’m getting impressed with Mitch McConnell... the man knows how to get the job done... AND he totally saved the court for conservatives for decades... Amazing.
Touche’ Turtle is woke & about to POUNCE!
I’m getting the vibe that the Democrats are having a resigned, “going through the motions” response to Kavanaugh. Whether it is the obviously pre-printed signs for all the potential candidates, the sloppy failure to bother to proofread their press releases or the drearily predictable, boilerplate denunciations I think they already know that Trump will win this one.
someone posted here cleverly and aptly - i forget who, I’d sure like to credit - but it was this great thought:
McConnell sucks 90% of the time. But he picked a good 10% not to suck....lol
I hesitate to give him credit, because he can quickly turn around and shiv America in the back. However, his judiciary jujitsu has been very tight. I am happy that there are sane law abiding judges being confirmed.
Credit where credit is due, he did well with Gorsuch and blocking Garland.
Thank you for referencing that article Brilliant. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.
The title of the referenced article is actually disturbing since Sen. McConnell is arguably a card-carrying member of the Constitution-ignoring swamp that Pres. Trump is successfully draining.
Could be his lasting legacy, a positive one. Unlike McLame.
Mich might consider dumping the “30-hour rule”....that slows down the judicial appointment flow.
McConnell has been very good with the judges thing. I can’t believe he has been as good as he has in this area.
I have every faith that Might change will get Kavanagh confirmed.
