[See NewsBusters for more.] MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle on Thursday worried about “breaking traditions” and “seeing norms eroded” in order to get Donald Trump’s court nominees approved. This came in the wake of Mitch McConnell ignoring the objections from New York Democratic senators as the 2nd Circuit’s Joseph Bianco was confirmed.  Ruhle opened the segment by fretting that the Senate Majority Leader is “is breaking tradition this week by moving forward” on Bianco “despite the objection of both of his home state senators.” She acknowledged, “Yes, they're both Democrats, but this is only  the third time happened in the 230-year history of the Senate.”
