Trump has gotten 66 judges confirmed this year. In his second year, Obama had gotten 49.
Many are conservative white men in their 40s — and they have lifetime appointments.

So you’re saying that half a loaf is better than no bread at all? Look, given that we are in a fight to the death with the RATs over the fate of our country, “doing a little better” than the last guy did, doesn’t cut it. McConnell is living in a world where the “comity” of the Senate is more important that getting sorely needed judicial appointments confirmed. To me, he’s just an old worthless a$$hole who has stayed far too long in the Senate and should go on the next high tide. Right now, its “for all the marbles” and he doesn’t see it that way.
