Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he considers the landmark tax legislation poised to pass Congress this week as only the second-greatest achievement of his career.
The Kentucky Republican said hes proudest of ensuring a Republican-nominated justice could replace Antonin Scalia -- which McConnell made possible by refusing to let former President Barack Obama fill the position during his last year in office.
"For me personally, it would be Neil Gorsuch and the changes were making in the circuit courts," McConnell said in an interview Tuesday. "But this would be a really close second," he said referring to the tax bill.

That act was so egregious, so unconstitutional and violent. Dont know what to say beyond that.
