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.

    LOL, the qons don’t have a fucking leg to stand on. Moscow Mitch unilaterally changed the number of judges on SCOTUS for nearly a year as a gigantic fuck you to Obama and the Democrats and the majority of the country, so they can just FUCK RIGHT OFF with their bullshit.
