Nah. I see McConnell as neutral toward Trump. He’s arranged to get 100s of Trump’s judges confirmed.


You mistakenly assume these are rock ribbed “Trump judges.” What happened to Trump’s DNI pick? What happened to Trump’s Fed picks? Preemptively sunk by the GOP Senate.

Additionally, McConnell/Graham have allowed the blue slip tradition to continue at the district court level and Democrat obstruction continues unabated there.

No, I don't assume they're the most conservative judges, just better than what the Democrats would pick. The more we fill now, the fewer will be filled by any Democratic President.

True, but the big deal are the Federal judges and Supreme Court judges. I think McConnell is focusing his political capital on those.
