This will be a weekly post.
Count is now 194 judges confirmed.
141 District Court judges
51 Circuit Court judges
2 Supreme Court justices
McConnell has scheduled cloture on several more for next week.
This week Cory Wilson (5th Circuit nominee) had a hearing in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Justin Walker (DC Circuit nominee) is currently awaiting a vote on the floor.
When Walker and Wilson are confirmed, Trump will have 53 Circuit judges in less than four years. Obama had 55 in EIGHT years!
I really hope the elderly republican judges seriously consider going to senior status in POTUS second term. They still get paid, they can hear cases & the seat is protected.
Thank you kindly. I look forward to that DC post.
Your post 21 is too late. Trump most likely wins. Senate is iffy. Cannot risk and the very oldies need to move out to pasture now.
The best young judges in the next two months. Time for old geezers be given an offer they can’t refuse.
Good point,
