Do you understand that Mitch McConnell has politicized that process so that all they need is the GOP majority to approve the moron's choices? He is under no obligation to appoint capable or qualified candidates when McConnell will simply use the ( increasingly rabid ) dolts in his own party to rubber stamp whatever the WLB puts forward.
Actually it was Harry Reid (Democrat) who changed the rules so that only a simple majority was needed to confirm judges other than Supreme Court judges. McConnell expanded that to the Supreme Court, but the Democrats started it.
Also did you read the article I posted? I'm not sure how you can claim it's rubber stamping when there are several rejected judges on that list.
