"Today, Senate Republicans, led by Leader McConnell, voted in committee to change Senate rules to limit debate on judicial nominees--even as Senate Rs brag about the "record number" of judicial confirmations under Trump."
"This rule change is a solution in search of a problem. Nearly four times as many judicial nominations (85) were confirmed in 2017-18 as in 2015-16 (22). And Sen. McConnell said last November that "I don' t think we'll have any trouble finding time to do nominations."'
