OK. One judge confirmed this week.
Also pending in the Senate are:
3 — 11th Court of Appeals nominees.
2 — 9th Court of Appeals nominees
1 — 5th Court of Appeals nominees (this one is “questionable”)
.... plus a whole slew of Dustrict Court nominees. McConnell needs to confirm MUCH more than one nominee a week to make a dent in his backlogged nominees waiting for confirmation votes.
In March, the president flipped the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals with the confirmation of Paul Matey.
Is the one questionable - 5th Court - is his confirmation in question or is his reliability in question?
