Sen. Mitch McConnell, (R) Majority Leader: "In a few hours, the Senate will confirm Judge Cory T. Wilson to join the US court of appeals for the 5th circuit. Yet again President Trump has sent up and outstanding nominee for this important vacancy. //Once we confirm judge Wilson, today the Senate will have confirmed 200, 200 of President Trump's nominees to lifetime appointments on the federal bench. And following number 200, when we depart this chamber today, there will not be a single circuit court vacancy anywhere in the nation for the first time in at least 40 years. There will not be a single circuit court vacancy anywhere in the nation for the first time in at least 40 years.
