Summary
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell criticized two Democratic-appointed judges for reversing their retirement plans after President-elect Trump’s victory, accusing them of partisan tactics to block Republican judicial appointments.
McConnell called the moves unprecedented and warned of potential ethics complaints.
He also argued this undermines a recent bipartisan deal on judicial confirmations.
Senate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin countered, citing McConnell’s 2016 decision to block Merrick Garland’s Supreme Court nomination as an example of GOP gamesmanship.
Would you want to oversee cases during the Trump administration? He might off you for ruling incorrectly and his people will definitely threaten your family the whole trial.
