He is considered a close friend and protege of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, whose home state of Kentucky falls within the 6th Circuit. McConnell has called Thapar “a qualified judge with an impressive legal mind” and has praised Thapar for always applying the law fairly. On the other end of the spectrum, Elizabeth Warren, the left-leaning senator from Massachussetts, vehemently opposed Thapar when he was nominated to the sixth circuit.

WHO considers Thapar a "close friend" of McConnell? McTurtle praised him, that's all that is clear since it's a direct quote, and Warren aka Pocohantas hates him. Thapar sounds like an EXCELLENT pick.
