McConnell's effort to confirm 19 new judges this week was opposed by The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. The 6 not confirmed this week are scheduled for confirmation as soon as the Senate returns in September.

This will be a weekly post.
Count is now 144 judges confirmed.
99 District Court judges
43 Circuit Court judges
2 Supreme Court justices
Senate is now on recess so no more confirmations till September.
Rats seem to descended to gutter tactics. Stalled 7 weeks on Graham’s asylum bill in Judiciary Committee. They blockaded everything out of committee?
What happened to the other 6? I thought 19 were to be approved this past week?
Don’t know.
OK. Got some district court judges through. Need to push through more of those - waive blue slips for district court nominees too.
Also, there are 5 outstanding Circuit Court seats to be filled. Ram those through ASAP.
43 circuit judges? Wow!
How many did Obama confirm?
MAGA! And PrResident Trump is doing just that.
Trump judges: 099
Other judges: 471
Open judges: 097
Total Judges: 667
329 in eight years.

But later headline “California district judge rules all the other judges this week did not have legal confirmation.” (kidding)
From the uscourts.GOV page there are 34 nominees waiting for a Senate vote. 20 of those are from blue states with 2 rat Senators. Due to honoring blue slip for district judges expect most of those 20 to be rat legislate from the bench types.
Um dude ! Did you read your post?
GO ON VACATION TIL SEPTEMBER !!!
“This will be a weekly post.”
That loathsome toad Carter sure got a lot of judges appointed for a one-termer. Must be nice to have a cooperative Senate.
How many WH nominees for ckt court have been stockpiled until this recess. Need to see ckt nominees ASAP so senate staff can start vetting in August.
First up is 5th (dump Ozerden), 9th (Oregon vacancy), and the two from the 2nd. Two 9th said they are leaving active and one more is close to 80 yr old. Three age 80 in 7th, one in 11th, and one in 8th.
So 12 nominees needed by September. Ckt vacancies should be prioritized for balance of 2019 IMO.
Carter benefited from the newly created 11th for easy vacancies to fill.
Wiki (ha ha ha) says the 11th Circuit was created in October 1981. Jimmy Carter ceased defiling the Oval Office in January 1981.
