Mitch McConnell was the Majority Leader in the Senate from 2015 to 2020. In what way did he use his position to affect the ideological balance in the Supreme Court? a. He was able to appoint justices to the Supreme Court that closely align with his views. Because he's a conservative, he was able to tilt the court strongly to the left. b.
