A nominee for one of the open positions on the Court of International Trade, Stephen A. Vaden, was reported out of the Judicial Committee on January 16th. The ball is in Leader McConnell’s court.
“The ball is in Leader McConnell’s court.”

Yes, I agree... and it’s been in his “court” for a long time. I worry about the 4 Obama appointed judges making up the majority of the 7 active judges sitting on this important court. McConnell needs to schedule Vaden for his confirmation vote and President Trump needs to submit a nominee for the 9th position on the court. And that needs to be done on a priority basis, IMHO.
It’s better to prevent problems than it is to try to remedy problems.
