Lex's 2019 Man-O-The-Year runner up is announced. And the winner is...

According to Wikipedia, here’s what PDJT and Mitch McConnell have accomplished with regard to the nomination and confirmation of federal judges since Inauguration Day:

“As of January 1, 2020, the United States Senate has confirmed 187 Article III judges nominated by President Trump, including 2 Associate Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, 50 judges for the United States Courts of Appeals, 133 judges for the United States District Courts, and 2 judges for the United States Court of International Trade.[2] There are currently 33 nominations to Article III courts awaiting Senate action, including 2 for the Courts of Appeals, 30 for the District Courts and 1 for the Court of International Trade.[3] There is currently 1 vacancy on the U.S. Courts of Appeals, 69 vacancies on the U.S. District Courts, 2 vacancies on the U.S. Court of International Trade,[3] and 11 announced federal judicial vacancies that will occur before the end of Trump's first term (1 for the Courts of Appeals and 10 for District Courts).[4] Trump has not made any recess appointments to the federal courts.”

With all that in mind as a backdrop, Lex has decided that, upon further review, Scrawny Harry the roach Reid is the runner up for the 2019 Lex Man-O-The-Year Award.  

It was, after all, the roach who invoked the “nuclear option” changing senate rules, as if there’d never be another Republican majority, to allow for a simple majority vote to close debate on judicial nominations. 

If you can believe a website where literally anyone can post literally anything about literally everything, PDJT and McConnell have followed through magnificently on the Roach’s blunder.  Way to go roach.  The man who got his worthless azz whipped by a rubber band continues to do a heck of a job and as a result is this year’s LMOTY runner up.
