Senator McConnell is planning to ignore the Senate's practice of letting Senators sign off on home-state judicial nominees in order to load up the circuits with his preferred judges. So far the chair of the Judiciary Committee hasn't signaled that he's on board yet, so hopefully he holds back this blatantly partisan power grab by the most destructive Senator in Washington. The sooner McConnell retires or gets voted out, the better this country will be.
