McConnell: Senate will stay until 12 Trump judges approved
« on: August 23, 2018, 10:29:45 pm »
 By Stephen Dinan - The Washington Times - Thursday, August 23, 2018

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Thursday that the Senate will stay in session this month until it approves a dozen more Trump judicial picks and four other executive branch nominees.

The Kentucky Republican laid out the schedule after setting up votes to defeat Democratic filibusters on all 16 nominees.

“No more obstruction, no more delays. It’s time to confirm them all,” Mr. McConnell said. “The Senate will continue to work right through August until every single one of them is confirmed.”

That appeared to be a warning to senators who were hoping for another summer break.

Mr. McConnell already canceled much of the usual August vacation to keep senators in town to work on spending bills and on nominations. Some on Capitol Hill had hoped he would relent and allow a final week’s vacation, but that appears unlikely given the schedule of votes he laid out.

Very interesting ... I'm wondering what or who has finally pushed the 'Turtle' out of his shell.

Agree with all posts above.
Mr. McConnell is finally acting like he understands what being in the majority is about.
