“Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) vented his displeasure Monday after two Democratic-appointed federal judges reversed their decisions to retire in what appear to be efforts to stop President-elect Trump from nominating their successors,” The Hill reports.
“McConnell called the unusual decisions to forgo retirement following Trump’s sweeping victory last month a ‘partisan’ gambit that would undermine the integrity of federal courts.”
