Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has moved forward to confirm a number of federal judges this week and praised President Trump for their nominations.
“While our committees are working, the full Senate is keeping busy with one of our core constitutional responsibilities: continuing to confirm well-qualified men and women to lifetime appointments to the federal judiciary," McConnell said from the Senate floor Tuesday. "Yesterday, we voted to advance the nomination of Kristi Haskins Johnson, the current Solicitor General of Mississippi with multiple impressive clerkships under her belt, to serve as a District Judge for the Southern District of Mississippi. She’ll make history as the first woman to join the bench in that district."
“This is just the first of several nominations we’ll consider this week. We’ll also vote today on Benjamin Beaton, a Kentuckian who has been nominated to be a District Judge for the Western District of Kentucky," he continued. “Mr. Beaton received a first-rate education from Kentucky’s Centre College and then Columbia Law School, where he edited the law review. He clerked on the D.C. Circuit and on the Supreme Court for the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg."

Hard to stay mad at him when he keeps doing this.
Good
Go for it, Cocaine Mitch!!!! :0)
2021 is going to be _the_ year when we see an amazing Democratic melt-down—when the President is inaugurated for a second term!
Beaton clerked on the DC Circuit Ct. and for RBG! That doesn’t sound so good.
Dam straight
Yeah. It’s like his favorite bit in a certain movie is:
“How do you make a Venetian blind?”
“ha-poik” *hand gesture*

Lord! Hear our prayer!
“Beaton clerked on the DC Circuit Ct. and for RBG! That doesn’t sound so good.”
No it doesn’t. Unless he found her views so repugnant as to firmly root him in a strict constructionist, original intent mode.
I agree, even I stocked up on toilet paper, Pinto Beans, Rice and Flour.
Keep the petal to the metal, DJT and McC. The Democrats keep crying about norms considered acceptable during lame duck sessions but are quick to seize on any and all opportunities to enrich themselves or to smear Republicans during lee duck or any other sessions.

All Republicans voting voted for him (along with two Democrats - Manchin and Sinema). ALL other DemocRAT votes were against confirmation.
He’ll be fine.
Let them melt down. Make them cry and kick the ground. Let them run to old joe and that Harris woman
He’s securing his legacy but he could care less about Trumps.
