‘Their goal is to waste the Senate’s time and prevent the president from promptly filling judicial vacancies. 2017 was an historic year of partisan obstruction by our Democratic colleagues. Even for uncontroversial judges who went on to unanimous or near-unanimous confirmation votes, my colleagues across the aisle used every possible procedural roadblock to delay and drag their heels. Now 2018 is starting off the same way.’

‘In 2017, the Senate evaluated and confirmed a record number of nominations to the circuit courts. One of the most significant accomplishments in President Donald Trump’s first year will serve Americans for decades to come, yet it has received very little fanfare. In the months since taking the oath of office, Trump has sent a steady stream of impressive federal-court nominees to the Senate for our consideration. And the result has been historic.’

‘I am particularly proud of the ways tax reform will benefit America’s farmers and ranchers. Later today, President Trump is delivering the good news at the annual conference of the American Farm Bureau Federation. Like so many states, Kentucky is home to a vibrant farming community. Throughout the legislative process, I heard family farmers loud and clear: We need tax relief. And that’s what Congress delivered.’
