Now that the midterm elections are over, Republicans have decided to use the next two months to be productive during a lame-duck session. According to Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), Republican senators will work through New Year's Eve to confirm all of President Donald Trump's pending judicial nominations, The Washington Times reported.

The decision comes after Democrats made a pact to take the maximum amount of time to debate Trump's picks, which could severely hinder the GOP's legislative priority of packing the federal courts with conservative judges.

“I know that Sen. McConnell has made a commitment that we’re not going to leave any judges behind over these next two months,” Cotton told conservative talk radio host Hugh Hewitt. “So it’s really up to them [the Democrats] 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."

Really, haven't we enough battles before us without adding this to the plate, too?

Is that the same thing as a sh*t show?
