As the 2020 elections draw closer, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has reportedly been reaching out to Republican-appointed federal judges and encouraging them to step aside so other, younger nominees can take their places in a timely fashion.

According to a Monday report in the New York Times:

Senator Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky, who has used his position as majority leader to build a judicial confirmation juggernaut for President Trump over the past three years, has been personally reaching out to judges to sound them out on their plans and assure them that they would have a worthy successor if they gave up their seats soon, according to multiple people with knowledge of his actions.

It was not known how many judges were contacted or which of them Mr. McConnell had spoken to directly. One of his Republican colleagues said others had also initiated outreach in an effort to heighten awareness among judges nominated by Presidents Ronald Reagan, George Bush and George W. Bush that making the change now would be advantageous.

The overt effort by Republicans to create vacancies reflects a realization that Mr. Trump could lose the presidency, or that Republicans could lose the Senate majority and deprive Mr. Trump of his partner on judicial confirmations even if he did gain a second term.

I'm not sure how this can be seen as a good sign, but I'm certain someone will amaze me.  A re-elected President Trump with a rat House and Senate could quite possibly be the very definition of Hell on Earth for both me, and President Trump.

Also really nice to see Majority Leader McConnell taking a break from his tireless effort to pass coronavirus legislation President Trump promised last week.  Priorities.

There are some poor Judges that were appointed by Republican Presidents.  Take DeeCee District Judge Emmet Sullivan, appointed by Bush 41.  Once upon a time he was tough on Prosecutors who play hide-the-ball on Defendants, but recently he gave a pass to the FBI for "losing" records that would have likely exonerated Flynn, for example.

I'm not making the partisan argument that Judges have been unfair to Trump supporters, but instead making the point that being named to a court by a GOP President doesn't ensure a good Judge.
