They just keep forcing through conservative judges after having blocked Obama nominees.
The Senate confirmed 13 new judges this week.

Donald Trump has now picked 185 judges:
—133 district court judges
—50 circuit court judges
—2 Supreme Court justices
That’s more than 1/5th of the federal bench.
The new batch fits the trend: young conservatives, mostly 40s/50s.
While the House has been focused on impeachment, the Senate just advanced TEN of Trump's judges.

While the rest of Washington focused on impeachment proceedings, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell forced a deal with Democrats to expedite 11 federal district judge nominations https://t.co/zbyyf6dcOi

Why do they support Trump? It’s about the judges. McConnell held seats open for years during the Obama administration, hoping for this opportunity. Democrats need to wise up about the courts as an issue in Presidential/Senate races. https://t.co/t5PP6O82zF

Pres. Trump and Senate Majority Leader McConnell have seated a 174 federal judges in just 3 years and they're on track to seat more – shaping the courts for years to come. https://t.co/00YuGvOoiU

BREAKING: As the House prepares to vote on impeachment this week, @senatemajldr just moved forward on THIRTEEN more of Trump’s judicial nominees, including three who refused to say that #BrownvBoard was correctly decided.

Trump has made the federal courts whiter and more male. Nearly two-thirds of his judicial nominees have been white men, more than twice their share of the U.S. population. Trump has not nominated a single African American appellate judge. https://t.co/82bYnWmmbo

Trump tells his Fox town hall that partly thanks to McConnell Obama left him 142 judicial vacancies (104) and that usually you're left 0 and if you get even 1 you're lucky (not even close to true). https://t.co/VGz6lbgnGt pic.twitter.com/Hc8C42bxGr
