"In blocking the five new appointments, who have now been waiting 15 months for a vote, Cotton said that the court's workload just didn't justify having all sixteen seats filled. The chief judge of the court, Patricia E. Campbell-Smith, disagrees. He wrote to the Senate pleading for these appointments because "current judges face unrelenting deadlines for cases unique to that court—some of which involve national defense and national security—and the cases are complex and time-consuming." So no surprise that Cotton is full of it.
No surprise, either, that he learned so quickly how to maximize obstruction and do it on behalf of benefactors. The GOP must be holding special training sessions on that for incoming senators."
