They don’t call him “turtle” for nothing.

McConnell needs to put up whole groups of judges for confirmation. Screw the Democrats. Confirm 20 or 30 judges for the district courts in a single vote. Unless there’s a specific requirement to confirm each one individually, let the Democrats squeal when they see what the answer to their obstruction is.

McConnell is the problem. He doesn’t want these vacancies filled with judges that respect the Constitution.

Don’t doubt me on that. McConnell has as much antipathy for conservatives as do the Rats.

Surely they could approve replacements for all 178 in the next 30 days. Even for RINOs, this is in everyone’s interest. Go with the basic majority and get it done!!! If McConnell is not up to the job, ask the senate to replace him.

Do judges have to be confirmed 'one at a time" or could you say put up 50 and have the Senate confirm all of them with one vote?

In case anyone forgot, this is an election year. If the RNC wants money, they can be forced to perform. Tell every begging caller that wallets open with performance. You would be surprised how fast the turdly turtle can move.

McConnell is letting Schumer largely control the speed of confirmation votes. There’s not a reason in the world why he needs to do that. It’s not as if the Senate was busy doing anything else constructive.

Get off your dead ass McConnell!

McConnell is a symptom, the problem is GOVT. Specifically, BIG GOVT.

Far too many ‘laws’ and judicial activism. One big turn-style of washing-each-others-backs and We the People not even given the courtesy of a reach-around.
