Political Factoid
"As majority leader in 2017, [Mitch]
McConnell led Republicans in
eliminating the filibuster
for Supreme Court nominees,
allowing them to be confirmed
in a simple majority vote
rather than a supermajority.
The move led to the confirmations
of former President Donald Trump's
three Supreme Court picks:*
Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett
Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett,
all of whom sided with Justice
Samuel Alito in overturning Roe."
