McConnell is not perfect. But give credit where credit is due. He has done an outstanding job pushing judicial appointments through.
All kinds of this. McConnell, when it comes to the Judicial Branch, is a freaking rock star who belongs in the Senate "Big Brass Pair" Hall of Fame.
Obama's nominee, Merrick Garland, and McConnell says, "Nope, because I say so." The whole world knew Hitlery was going to win the election, but McConnell said, "No soup for you until you get the Senate, too"
And the rest is history. Because of McConnell, Trump has
- nominated and had confirmed, two Supreme Court justices, 44 Circuit Court judges, and 112 District Court judges.
- appointed more circuit judges by this point in his presidency than any president in recent history.
- Approximately 1 out of every 4 active judges on United States Courts of Appeals has been appointed by President Trump.
