Conservatives launch ad campaign to boost Trump's judges

Conservatives are ratcheting up the Senate’s judicial wars, with a deep-pocketed group launching a new seven-figure ad campaign hitting Democrats for delaying confirmation of President Donald Trump’s judges.
The Judicial Crisis Network will launch a $1 million ad buy on Saturday, according to officials familiar with the effort. The ad will run on CNN, Fox News and airport channels that might be seen by traveling senators returning from recess next week.
The air support comes as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) told radio host Hugh Hewitt in an interview that confirming conservative judges is his “top priority in the Senate.” The majority leader is set to confirm six more Circuit Court judges this month, which would add up to 21 of Trump’s Circuit Court nominees — part of McConnell’s longtime bid to reshape the courts.
Senate Democrats cannot block those judges, but they can delay each of them more than a day under Senate rules. And JCN’s ad buy is specifically calling them out for using Senate rules to drag out judicial confirmations, a tactic also used by Republicans when they were in the minority under President Barack Obama.
