Does Biden Seriously Believe Mitch McConnell Has Become an Honest Broker?
Here’s one thing on which republicans and Democrats can agree: they both feel betrayed over President Joe Biden’s recent compromise with Sen. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell over a potential federal judicial appointee.
According to the right-wing website , Biden’s negotiation with McConnell over anti-abortion choice lawyer Chad Meredith’s consideration for a federal judgeship in Kentucky is just one more “source of my heartburn lately.”
Liberals and progressives, though, are apoplectic Biden is even considering offering a forced-birther a seat on the federal bench.
The problem for Democrats is Biden is compromising on this.
The problem for republicans is that McConnell is compromising- period.
Biden and McConnell supposedly hammered out a deal to advance Meredith’s approval to the Senate on the condition McConnell refuses to obstruct future judicial nominations, a promise some view as something McConnell made with his fingers crossed behind his back.
