President Joe Biden may nominate a conservative, anti-abortion lawyer for a lifetime judgeship in Kentucky as part of a deal with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), The Louisville Courier-Journal reported Wednesday.

While Kentucky doesn’t currently have a judicial vacancy, the deal would see Chad Meredith, a member of the conservative Federalist Society, nominated when a sitting judge announces they are stepping down or retiring, the paper reported. The Courier-Journal added the deal would see McConnell agree not to hold up any future federal nominations by the Biden White House.

No damn deals with Mitch McConnell.  Especially when it involves a lifetime appoint for a very young guy.

First of all, you cannot use the words “McConnell” and “deal” in the same sentence without the devil chuckling.

Second, damn. I mean, there’s not even an opening for a federal judge in Kentucky right now. This is only a promise from Joe to appoint this damn fool to the first open court that comes available, which tells me only one damn thing – this guy has the goods on McConnell and he’s afraid he won’t be able to collect before McConnell kicks the bucket.

No deal, Joe.  Two very old men all on their own have no right to decide who will rule long after they are gone. This just stinks.
