WASHINGTONAh, you may be wondering, is the Republican Senate still installing judges in the federal judiciary with all this other stuff going on, and does this mean that the dark energy powering this administration* will be with us long after the president* goes off to his eternal reward in a sand trap somewhere?

Why, yes. Why do you ask?

Three more were blessed with lifetime employment security on Thursday, and by fairly safe, bipartisan margins, too. (Democrats. Boy, I dunno.) On Wednesday, however, we got a real doozy in one Sarah Pitlyk, yet another Federalist Society drone, and a former clerk to Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh back when the latter was an annoyance on a lower court. This, despite her being yet another nominee rated unqualified. From the Washington Post:

Most excellent qualifications, and thats not even to mention that Pitlyk holds views on human reproduction that make the College of Cardinals look like Masters and Johnson. Mark Joseph Stern of Slate clued us in on those. Apparently, where many of these people are fetus obsessives, Pitlyk is an embryo obsessive. And, wowser.

Senator Chris Coons, Democrat of Delaware, rose on the Senate floor to point out that the Federalist Society fast-track may well not be the best way to staff the federal judiciary.

All of which is true and, of course, completely irrelevant.
