Republican senators will work through New Year’s Eve to confirm all of President Trump’s pending judicial nominees before the end of the year if Democrats try to obstruct the confirmation votes, Republican Sen. Tom Cotton said Wednesday.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Kentucky Republican, has made remaking the federal bench with a conservative bent a priority, and has more than 40 judicial nominees awaiting floor votes.

Before leaving Capitol Hill prior to the midterms, Republicans vowed to get them all confirmed during the lame-duck session before the incoming Congress begins in January.

“I know that Sen. McConnell has made a commitment that we’re not going to leave any judges behind over these next two months,” the Arkansas Republican told conservative host Hugh Hewitt.

He said Democrats have shown unprecedented obstruction, demanding the maximum amount of floor time to debate the president’s judicial picks.

“So it’s really up to them whether they want to confirm those on Christmas Eve or New Year’s Eve, or whether they want to confirm them earlier in December by yielding back the time,” Mr. Cotton said.

The one thing the Pubs in the Senate have been doing well.

How about removing/impeaching any Obama-appointed activist judge while you're at it?

It takes years on stupid appeals.

Yaaaay!  Good for them.  Heck, maybe I'll send them Christmas cookies.

Wonderful point.

All their good work on judges won't save the unique American experiment. The Pubs in the legislature had to step up when they had the opportunity and they failed us.

"IF"???????  Since the survival of the entire Dim political machine is at stake because if you take away their corruption they have nothing,that's like saying "IF the sun comes up tomorrow morning". It is as close to an absolute certainty as anything you will ever see.

Remove Dim corruption and Dim politicians lose millions of dollars as well as power because without the votes of fictional people,illegal aliens,criminals,and dead people,they can only win in places like NYC,Boston,and Ca.
