Thanks to the hard work of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, 38 of these well-qualified nominees have been confirmed.
Under Schumer's direction, Democrats have embarked on an obstruction campaign to create gridlock in the Senate, impeding or even halting the confirmation of Trump's nominees.
In many cases, dozens of hours of the Senate's time have been wasted "Debating" nominees who have unanimous support, simply letting the clock run down without mentioning the nominee once.
Their plan is to slow the confirmation of qualified Republican nominees so that they can preserve liberal dominance of the courts.
The proposal would still grant 30 hours of debate post-cloture for Cabinet-level positions, Supreme Court justices, and Court of Appeals judges, but would cap post-cloture debate for all other nominees at eight hours, and district court nominees, who would be capped at just two hours.
Confirming the president's extraordinary judicial nominees is a top priority for me and my organization, the Judicial Crisis Network, and we are committed to doing whatever necessary to end this Democratic obstruction.
It's time to tell the Senate Democrats who are obstructing Trump's picks that they must stop playing games and start voting for qualified judicial nominees.
