Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) hinted Monday that he's willing to keep the Senate in town through Friday, or even into the weekend, as Republicans work to confirm a slate of President Trump's nominees.
"We have a number of nominees to consider in the next several days. ...The Senate's workweek will not end until all of these amply qualified nominees are confirmed," McConnell said from the Senate floor.
Before leaving for the two-week recess that just ended, the GOP leader teed up six nominations. The Senate took up an initial vote on the first in the series, Claria Boom to be a U.S. district judge, on Monday evening.

McConnell did this before.....forget sending a warning to the Demos. Just force the Senate to work weekends. Then the Demos will do the Right thing. McConnell should have been doing this all along knowing the Demos were doing everything they could to hold up nominees.
