Mitch McConnell is eyeing a final confirmation vote next week for Justin Walker, President Trump’s nominee to the second most powerful court in the country
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is eyeing a final confirmation vote next week for Justin Walker, President Donald Trump’s nominee to the second most powerful court in the country, according to a GOP aide.
“Can we be honest for a moment here among ourselves?” said Sen. Dick Durbin . “Justin Walker is in line for this lifetime appointment to the second highest court in the land for two reasons: he’s a family friend of Sen. McConnell and he’s an outspoken critic of the Affordable Care Act.” Walker penned an op-ed in 2018 that dubbed the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold Obamacare as “indefensible.” Walker insisted during his May confirmation hearing that he wrote the piece while he was an academic and not in his current role as a federal judge for the Western District of Kentucky.
McConnell has vowed to "leave no vacancy behind" and has prioritized confirming conservative judges to the federal judiciary.
