    Just in: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he’s optimistic about the midterms, but warned it would be a “scary prospect” if Republicans lost control of the Senate for any future judicial nominees.

        “Lose the Senate and the project of confirming judges is over for the last two years of President Trump,” Mitch McConnell said in an interview with NPR's @kelsey_snell.

        Bi-partisan support , that’s the scary concept he’s alluding to. The nominees would have to be qualified enough for bi-partisan support.

        Bingo. Amazing how we've completely moved past the point of requiring judges to receive bipartisan support and now it's just about having full power.

        It seems like it was a lifetime ago that you had to have 60 votes. Like it was designed to be difficult to confirm someone on partisan lines.

        Right, because a judge at the highest level *should* have to be unbiased and able to be approved by both sides.

        Might it be that McConnell is worried that if the Senate Flips, he will be investigated for his role in the Russian Election Interference and the Payment that he received from Donald Trump.

        It would be a scary prospect to automatically affirm judges with clear bias, as Kavanaugh showed, to any court. Let's just #voteblue and nominate judges who deserve the position; or is that too radical for you Mitch? #GOPCorruption #Senate

        Not scarier than the prospect was for Merrick Garland who wasn't even allowed a confirmation hearing.

        So, say, Merrick Garland were put before the senate, the GOP would skewer him, just for spite?
