Oh come on Big Yank. A good lap dog is hard to find and appoint and confirm.

A national disgrace is the perfect phrase for what McConnell et al have done with garland.

Nominations will resume after the swamp is drained. A prosperous 2017 to all invested here.

Correction: Judge Merrick Garland, not Garner. But, see, that is what happens. His nomination was on March 16, 2016 by President Obama and NOTHING has happened, since. No confirmation. No hearing. No rejection.

GSE reform is not the only issue that Congress has delayed into oblivion. Failure to confirm judicial appointments has turned the entire judicial process into a political activity that violates the separation of power provisions of the Constitution.

This is a national disgrace.

In Federal Courts there are 112 vacancies and 59 nominations that have not been approved by the Senate. That is out of around 670 total positions, systemwide. Link is shown in the judiciary website above.

JMHO.
