Republicans "Take Democrats' Lunch Money" on Post-Kavanaugh Judicial Selection

Liberal advocacy group Demand Justice charges Democrats “didn’t just get stuffed in a locker here; they had their lunch money taken,” in failing to delay confirmation hearings for lower federal courts. Good response that Dems secured an agreement to prevent confirmation of judges before the election but lack the power to prevent confirmation hearings now, and thus actual confirmations during the lame-duck session after election.

One of the judicial nominees, Allison Rushing, is 36 years old, and 11 years out of law school.
