I don’t follow what you mean about judge appointments. Lower court judge appointments only require the approval of our currently Democratic controlled Senate.
As of October 31, 2024, the United States Senate has confirmed 213 Article III judges nominated by Biden: one associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, 44 judges for the United States courts of appeals, 166 judges for the United States district courts and two judges for the United States Court of International Trade. There are 28 nominations awaiting Senate action: five for the courts of appeals and 23 for the district courts. There are two vacancies on the U.S. courts of appeals and 44 vacancies on the U.S. district courts, as well as 18 announced vacancies that may occur before the end of Biden’s term (four for the courts of appeals and 14 for district courts).
Fair, but they have 2ish sessions left before the term is over and its in the middle of the holiday season… I appeciate the correction, but any feet dragging means these dont happen in time either.
LMAO at the upper-decker
