While many on Wednesday were watching the CNN Debate, Rachel Maddow hosted Kristine Lucius, Executive Vice-President for policy at the Leadership Conference. Ms. Lucius sounded an alarm:

KRISTINE LUCIUS: What Mitch McConnell is trying to do this week is confirm more judges in a week than he allowed President Obama to have confirmed in his final two years in office.

What's the rush, Moscow Mitch? As if we didn't know.
