Summary

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell criticized two Democratic-appointed judges for reversing their retirement plans after President-elect Trump’s victory, accusing them of partisan tactics to block Republican judicial appointments.

McConnell called the moves unprecedented and warned of potential ethics complaints.

He also argued this undermines a recent bipartisan deal on judicial confirmations.

Senate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin countered, citing McConnell’s 2016 decision to block Merrick Garland’s Supreme Court nomination as an example of GOP gamesmanship.
