Yes, and lucky Trump that he got to pick 3 “conservative” justices in his measly 4 years. Partly aided by the much-maligned McConnell, including the fact he got to pick that first one.

If Trump didn’t get the opportunity to pick more than 1, which would be much more typical if a 1-term, then this would be moot.

So, you’re one of the few here that likes McConnell?

You don't seem to get it. McConnell realized the only way to protect the Holy Grails of the swamp (illegal immigration and neocon foreign policy) was to agree to give the base what it wanted on judges during Trump's term.

But, if a Republican establishment type had won the Presidency instead of Trump, he or she would never have named enough judges to SCOTUS to overturn Roe.
