Sen. Mitch McConnell made comments yesterday on the Senate floor regarding the confirmation of judicial nominees. The Senate majority has failed to confirm any judicial nominees this year.
There have been no judicial confirmations so far this year, and there has been only one hearing on a circuit court nominee since September of last year. . . . I hope my Democratic colleagues resist the desire by some to drag us back into judicial confirmation brinksmanship and establish a precedent they will regret. I hope they will treat these nominees fairly before it is too late.
