Trump and McConnell are celebrating, despite the impeachment inquiry

This week, as Democrats were focused on an impeachment inquiry in the House, Republicans were celebrating a victory that went mostly unnoticed but could have long-term consequences for all. The president has reached a milestone when it comes to appointing federal judges. The Senate on Nov. 7 confirmed William Nardini to a seat on the Second Circuit Court of Appeals with an 86-2 vote, making him the 45th appointee to a federal circuit court of 179 seats total to be named by Donald Trump in less than three years in office.
