True, but Mitch slammed through 11 of them on the last day of the session last year.
There are many pending nominations (but the list is getting smaller over time); but most need to be extensively vetted from scratch by the FBI, especially at the Circuit Court level, as this would be the first Federal position for most. Appeals Court nominations that are promotions from the Circuit Court only need updated vettings.
Loves me some Leader McConnell.
Hopefully, Mitch is gonna own Granny Botox in the next couple of weeks, then get back to slamming through judges.
