This is an incredibly GREAT read about Moscow Mitch the Trumpy Turtle Boy from one of the best journalists in the business - Jane Mayer.
The Senate Majority Leader’s refusal to rein in the President is looking riskier than ever.

From the article you linked to:
[[The gathering had the feel of a reunion. Don McGahn, Donald Trump’s former White House counsel, whom McConnell has referred to as his “buddy and co-collaborator” in confirming conservative judges, flew down for the occasion. So did Supreme Court Justice
Brett Kavanaugh, whose Senate confirmation McConnell had fought fiercely to secure. Walker, the event’s honoree, had clerked for Kavanaugh, and became one of his lead defenders after Kavanaugh was accused of sexual assault.
McConnell is now championing Walker for an opening on the powerful D.C. Court of Appeals, even though Walker has received a “not qualified” rating from the American Bar Association, in part because, at the age of thirty-eight, he has never tried a case. ]]
Never tried a case, SMH. Disgraceful, isn't it?
One of the main reasons --- if not the main reason --- Moscow Mitch is trump's #1 enabler is because he knows in trump he has a useful idiot, which always him to pack the courts with ideological incompetents.
Too bad the old fuck didn't catch covid-19 and die.
