McConnell needs to get off his ass and get the current 67 nominees confirmed and seated. There are still 137 unfilled seats. If he and Trump were smart -- they aren't -- then they'd spend a great deal of their time doing just that. Filling ALL 137 vacancies.
Filling every vacancy is an imperative, especially since the dems are obstructing every nomination every chance they get. Every one takes as long as possible. So Mitch needs to push for every one ASAP.
He has a simple majority rule to get them seated. Right now, he has 53 Republicans in the Senate. That means if he were to assign the vetting of one nominee to each Senator and the rather large research staff they each have, they could do 159 in three months. Inside of 4, they could fill each position and even if he held them to a standard of a 75% conservative voting record, it is likely he could finish this business before the end of the year.
The SCOTUS nominees will take care of themselves when they come due. Right now, the entire makeup of the federal bench could be set for a generation if they got busy right now and took care of business.
