“#Amy Coney Barrett confirmation has energized conservatives<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is standing by his handling of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett\u2019s nomination and confirmation to the nation\u2019s highest bench, saying he isn\u2019t worried that a negative political consequence will come from it.<\/p>\n

In separate interviews with Politico<\/a> and the New York Times<\/a> on Tuesday, McConnell (R-Ky.) expressed pride in the success of his years-long effort to fill the federal judiciary with conservative judges.<\/p>\n

The effort, which has resulted in three Supreme Court app<\/a>ointments as Senate majority leader, has earned him a legacy in Republican politics for securing a conservative swing in the judicial branch of government for decades to come.<\/p>\n

As McConnell told Politico, the impact of his work will be the protection of conservative legal interpretation through the courts even if Democrats reclaimed the executive and legislative branches.<\/p>\n

\u201cPermanency depends on the next election. So that\u2019s the way legislation goes. But in judicial appointments you can have a longer-lasting positive impact,\u201d he told the outlet.<\/p>\n

When asked if he had any concerns about GOP lawmakers being hurt in the November election by his move to push Barrett\u2019s nomination forward, the Kentucky Republican said he believes the court fight energized conservative voters.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn terms of the politics of it, I think it was helpful for us in 2016 and 2018, and it is clearly, I think, a plus in 2020 as well. So, good for the country and good for us politically as well,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

McConnell expressed little worry to The Times about how Democratic lawmakers described his handling of Barrett\u2019s nomination and confirmation process, explaining, \u201cThis is a tough business we are all in, and we expect to be criticized. The more impact we have, the louder the voices of opposition. It goes with the turf.\u201d<\/p>\n

The top Senate Republican discussed his own professional legacy with both outlets, telling The Times that he \u201ccertainly didn\u2019t expect to have three Supreme Court justices.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the risk of tooting my own horn, look at the majority leaders since L.B.J. and find another one who was able to do something as consequential as this,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He went on to describe his mark on the judiciary as \u201cthe single most important accomplishment of my career. I\u2019m proud of it, and I feel good about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked by Politico about his legacy, McConnell reiterated his understanding of the magnitude of his judicial achievement.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think my record speaks for itself. The judicial part in particular is of great consequence, and I think you all are capable of comparing that to previous majority leaders,\u201d he told the outlet.<\/p>\n

In the wake of the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who passed away in late September, President Trump and McConnell said they would move forward on a vote on her replacement.<\/p>\n

The idea sparked fury in the Democratic Party, leading numerous prominent figures to voice their support for court \u201cpacking,\u201d or expanding the nation\u2019s highest bench to more than the original nine members.<\/p>\n

Trump and Republicans have defended replacing Ginsburg before the November election, arguing that unlike when McConnell blocked President Barack Obama\u2019s choice for the high court in 2016, the GOP now holds both the White House and Senate.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
