Priorities

While we’re discussing Mitch McConnell — apparently the vote to confirm Patty Shwartz as a judge on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals was delayed yesterday so he could go to a basketball game.

The Senate was supposed to vote this afternoon on the nomination of Patty Shwartz as a judge on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. That vote has been postponed until tomorrow because Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has other plans: Kentucky’s senior senator will be in the sea of red at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta as his University of Louisville Cardinals take on the University of Michigan Wolverines for the men’s NCAA basketball championship.

I can only imagine the reaction on Hate Radio and Fox had the president delayed signing a bill into law so he could attend a basketball game.
