Mich McConnell and Don McGahn spend an hour talking about judicial nominees and getting them through the Senate.

A relatively rare look at the inside of the judicial confirmation process. Worth a listen/watch for anyone interested in judicial confirmations, DC, and/or the Senate.

Honestly, the biggest takeaway that I got from this podcast is that McConnell's emphasis on filling up lifetime court appointments over actually getting bills passed is a pretty 4D chess move.

Also, man, I dunno if he just wasn't great at putting out a convincing argument, but it's pretty bad that until the Kavanaugh shitstorm, no Republican women cared about being on the Judiciary committee.
