I’ve mentioned before about the article in the Louisville paper around 2016 election that said MM had sat on over 80 judicial appointments so that BO got discouraged and stopped nominating people. Trump has not had about 80 confirmed. Now he moves ahead Hopefully with an increased number of Senators so voting them in will be faster.
McConnell and the Senate are playing President Trump with just enough confirmations to keep him from screaming. There is no reason to not push through the entire slate of pending confirmations. Do a simple up/down voice vote and move on. It’s politics and they don’t want to lessen their importance as senators, nor give President Trump too big of a victory. Lost in this is the American people that need these people confirmed and in their jobs tomorrow.
