Paraphrasing Kyle Reese, “Cocaine Mitch can’t be reasoned with. He doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear! And he absolutely will not stop, ever, until he is Senate Minority Leader”:

Under the regular order, at 10:30 am, on Wednesday, December 18th, the Senate will proceed to a roll call vote on the motion to invoke cloture on Executive Calendar #382, Matthew Walden McFarland, of Ohio, to be United States District Judge for the Southern District of Ohio.

Absent a unanimous consent agreement, two roll call votes (cloture/confirmation) will occur every two hours during tomorrow’s session of the Senate on the District Judge nominations (13 District Judges) that Leader McConnell filed cloture on during Monday’s session of the Senate.

President Trump will be impeached today. Then he’ll be cleared in the Senate. These judges? These judges will be on the bench for decades.
