Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Friday that the current vacancies in the U.S. court system will allow President Donald Trump to have the longest impact on the future of the country and vowed to continue to push through his nominees, regardless of any opposition from Democrats.

For years when his party was in the minority, McConnell employed the procedural speed bumps at his disposal to slow the flow of Obama’s nominations to the federal court system. When Republicans claimed the majority after the 2014 elections, the flow slowed to a trickle, and the majority leader left dozens of nominees to linger, including Garland.

“The left is on war-footing for just about everything these days and that includes the lower courts,” he said. “They are doing everything they can to tie the Senate in knots. They are forcing procedural hurdles on just about everything.”


What a piece of trash. It's always the "evil Left this, the mean left that" with them. They aren't even hiding anymore what their true agenda is.

1. If he can really look at himself in the mirror and think that someone like Trump affecting the court

for the longest period of any president ever is a GOOD thing, it tells me that he has absolutely no moral compass.

2. Imho, he and Ryan are worse than the man-child

in the White House.
