Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said on the Senate floor Wednesday that President Joe Biden and Democrats are engaging in ‘demographic box-checking” regarding their judicial nominees.
“Yesterday, President Biden and the Senate Democratic Leader took time to boast about their judicial confirmations. There was something interesting, strange, and telling about their statements,” the Senate Republican leader said. “Both the President and the Democratic Leader focused their comments overwhelmingly on identity politics and demographic box-checking.”

Spot on! Had McConnell gone to bat for the two Georgia candidates in 2020 instead of sitting on his hands while those elections were stolen, this country would be in a different place.

why isn't he slow walking these nominees the way Schumer did to him ? (unless schumer changed the rules which I don't think he can do by himself...)
Once nominees clear the committee, they must be scheduled for a full Senate confirmation vote.
When the minority party does not cooperate, it requires a cloture vote by the Senate to end debate on each nominee, which, if successful, still triggers 30 additional hours for deliberations before the full vote can be held.

Well, maybe, just maybe, you shouldn’t have helped them steal an election and win at all in the last one.
