Republicans Are Mad That Democrats Are Confirming Lots Of Biden's Judges
www.huffpost.com
“No more Judges confirmed before Inauguration Day!” Trump said on social media. But Democrats are making judges a priority in the lame duck ― just like the GOP did, too.

Summary

Senate Democrats are rushing to confirm President Biden’s judicial nominees before Republicans take control in January.

Republicans are frustrated, accusing Democrats of pushing through liberal judges. However, critics point out GOP hypocrisy, as they did the same in 2020 to confirm Trump’s judges.

Democrats have confirmed 217 judges so far and aim to confirm 26 more, potentially surpassing Trump’s first-term total and cementing Biden’s judicial impact.

Schumer has vowed to keep the Senate in session as long as needed to finish the confirmations.

      Apparently this is one of the things the Biden admin was doing consistently over all its four years.

      This last flurry is only so that he confirms more than Trump did.

        I really doubt this a dick measuring contest.

        It’s to stop Trump from putting more sycophants and fascists in these positions.
