McConnell Criticizes Judges' Retirement Reversals Amidst Accusations of Hypocrisy

Two U.S. district judges, Algenon Marbley and Max Cogburn, have reversed their retirement plans, preventing President-elect Donald Trump from appointing their successors. This move has drawn criticism from Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who accused the judges of partisanship. The judges' decision highlights concerns about Trump's potential judicial nominees and follows a pattern of judges reconsidering retirement plans based on political outcomes. McConnell's criticism comes despite his own history of urging GOP-appointed judges to retire strategically.
