The Senate confirmed President Trump’s 19th federal judge Thursday, approving James Ho for a seat on the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and further bolstering the judicial army conservatives wanted to build.
Mr. Ho, confirmed on a 53-43 vote, becomes the first Asian American on that appeals court. Democratic Sens. Claire McCaskill of Missouri, Joe Donnelly of Indiana, and Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota joined Republicans in voting for Mr. Ho.
He’s the third federal appeals court judge the senate confirmed this week, and the 19th judge overall. That’s well ahead of the 14 President Obama had won by the end of his first year, but behind the pace of Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton.

The judges he appoints and the fact that Pence is the GP will be his legacy.

I don’t know why anyone is celebrating this pathetically slow pace of confirmations.

becomes the first Asian American on that appeals court. Why must we always count ethnicity?

That Alabama loss hurts on these judges. Collins and Corker or whoever can hold anyone hostage now, and it will slow the process down.
