While most of us are focused on the presidential election, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is focused on filling judicial vacancies.
McConnell appeared on Hugh Hewitt's radio show on Tuesday, and the first thing they discussed was judicial vacancies. "I’ve got the classic question: What have you done for me lately?" Hewitt asked, before answering himself. "You’ve actually saved the Constitution with 50 Appeals Court judges, two Supreme Court justices, 133 district court judges."
Both acknowledged that despite the impressive record of getting judges confirmed, there's still a lot of work to be done.
"I know that there are a lot of vacancies. They need to be filled," McConnell said. "But the good news is we’ve changed the 9th Circuit in a dramatic way, as you know, and it’s no longer, you know, the far-left court that it used to be."
McConnell added, "My motto for the year is 'leave no vacancy behind.' That includes district courts as well. And so we’re a long way from being finished with doing court confirmations this year."
There are about 25 pending district court nominees.

Mitch is doing a great job. Save your jab for a Dem.
Love it.
Ginsburg will be the cherry on top.
Go Cocaine Mitch! Godspeed!
Mitch is smart. Hay hay while the dem’s attention is elsewhere.

Whomever wrote that headline ought to have it shoved up their ass.
This!
Yes. But when? She has nine lives, if not 19....
Cocaine Mitch isn’t a jab, its a meme at this point, started by Blackenship.
Its just funny at this point since Mitch is the exact opposite of cocaine.
I know Mitch is up this year but it does seem like he MAY have left the Never Trumpet club.
RE: Whomever wrote that headline ought to have it shoved up their ass.
Then we ought to take a lot of FReepers to task for using the same term this writer used for Mitch. This includes the term, “Turtle”.
Well it does appear that senator McConnell is doing a good job with judges. Let’s give credit where it’s due. Praying he will get opportunity to fill at least one more Supreme Court vacancy very very SOON!
> Go Cocaine Mitch! Godspeed!
It’s like the anecdote about Geneal Grant being a drunkard. When Lincoln heard this he is said to have quipped “Get a case of whatever whiskey he drinks for every General in the Army”
RBG is sustained by Borg nanites and will live forever!
Why does PJ Media use a childish, negative nickname in their headlines?
Turtle is just an affectionate nickname.
“Yes. But when? She has nine lives, if not 19”
Whenever it is, it will not be soon enough.
Fear the Turtle
I expect her to step down immediately after the election in November.
