I like this side of McConell; sane, thoughtful judges. I also remember when dems changed long standing rules and he warned dems they would regret it, sooner than they realize. He was right.

What he's done with judges goes beyond just eliminating the judicial filibuster. McConnell also ended the practice of giving home-state Senators the power to veto judicial nominees via the "blue slip" practice, and also shortened the debate time for judges.

It's really classic McConnell. If he has the power/votes to push something through, he pushes that advantage as hard as he can.
