Is Amy Barrett filing her second stolen seat?

[zstat]

I see very little in the media on what I read in

"Senate obstructionism handed a raft of judicial vacancies to Trump—what has he done with them?" Russell Wheeler Monday, June 4, 2018.
There were 17 court of appeals vacancies HELD UP by Mitch McConnell in President Obama's term. "The reasons for the vacancies—old news to most—was the flimsy confirmation record in the 2015-16 Senate (the 114th), with its new Republican majority. Just as it refused to consider Merrick Garland’s Supreme Court nomination, it shut down the lower court confirmation process."

Trump nominated Barrett to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals on May 8, 2017, and the Senate confirmed her on October 31, 2017.
Was Amy Barrett selection and appointment to the US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit of appeals position because McConnell HELD UP President Obama appointments and kept it OPEN?

In addition was Barrett's lawyering work with the lawyering work of Roberts and Kavanagh in the Florida 2000 selection debacle a reward for her contribution?

1. Of course it is...but no cares any more.

The SCOTUS is a partisan rubber stamp as constructed and has no legitimacy whatsoever.

Rule of Law? Ha! THAT concept is also dead as Dillinger...see Trump, re: Impeachment "trial"...

Face it, the assigning of justices to the SCOTUS and judges to the Circuit Courts has been totally hijacked by the GOP and McConnell as a legacy project. They could give 2 shits less what it costs the country, just so long as they claim victory and stuff the courts with ideologues an hacks.

Unless Democrats win HUGE this year, the "united" States are finished and this illegitimate government is too.

2. She's playing along with McConnell in the stolen court seat grift.

Let's see how this plays out. These ongoing thefts shouldn't be rewarded.

3. Not a strategically wise point to make

It draws too much attention to the fact that M. Garland was far from the first appointee held up at the end of a term by the opposing party for political reasons. By keeping those claims focussed on the single SCOTUS nominee, it appears more hypocritical.
