Summary

Senate Democrats are working to confirm up to 30 of President Biden’s federal judicial nominees before the new Republican-led Congress is seated on January 3.

With Biden’s 214 judicial appointments so far, he could surpass the number Trump achieved in his first term if pending nominees are confirmed.

This rush is driven by Democrats’ desire to solidify Biden’s legacy of liberal appointees, especially as Trump prepares to assume office with a Republican Senate. The tight schedule will depend on high Democratic attendance and the support of moderate Republicans.

Trump, meanwhile, has called for Democrats to halt approvals, sparking accusations of hypocrisy.

    Fuck Biden for not packing the SC over the last 4 fucking years what the fuck. We lost RBG, and they get boof-master fratboy.

      In their defense, they did try to get RBG to resign at the end of Obama’s term, but she refused, thinking Hillary would win.

      She was wrong. Dead wrong. Unfortunately.
