BREAKING: the Senate Judiciary Committee advances 21 judicial and executive nominations to the full Senate, continuing our work to ensure a highly qualified federal bench reflective of America.
Tremendous work from Chairman Durbin and Senate Judiciary advancing all eligible judicial nominees out of committee today. Time to get confirming! The Senate needs to confirm 70 judges in 2024 to ensure POTUS surpasses the 234 appointed by his predecessor. #courtsmatter
To balance the courts, the Senate needs to ensure that President Biden matches or exceeds Trump's total of 234 judicial appointments in 4 years. This will require the Senate to confirm upwards of 70 judges this year. The Senate can do this if it picks up the pace! #courtsmatter
The Senate is back in session, and we’re taking up judicial confirmations right away. Senate Democrats are bringing balance to our federal judiciary.
It'll be inexcusable if we get to the end of 2024 and judicial noms r left on the table and vacancies unfilled b/c the Senate chose not to devote the necessary time to confirming judges early in 2024 or b/c home state Senators have been allowed to hijack vacancies. #courtsmatter
If Senators Schumer and Durbin are serious about balancing the courts, as they vowed to do early in the Biden administration, they need to do two things early this year: expand the Senate calendar and eliminate what the blue slip. My full article: dailykos.com/stories/2024/1…

The professional backgrounds of judges confirmed under @POTUS are historic. More public defenders have been confirmed to circuit court judgeships than under any prior President. We’re placing a stronger emphasis on confirming civil rights, legal aid, and voting rights lawyers.
It’s pretty clear that what happened in 2023 was the Senate simply did not prioritize judicial confirmations. As I told @NBCNews it's possible for POTUS to do much better than Trump did in his reelection yr but it’s going to take a serious prioritization. nbcnews.com/politics/joe-b…
It will be inexcusable if we get to the end of 2024 and judicial nominations are left on the table and vacancies unfilled b/c the Senate chose not to devote the necessary time to confirming judges early in 2024 or because home state Senators have been allowed to block vacancies.
President Biden concluded his third year 21 judicial appointments behind his predecessor's pace of 187 appointments in three years for one reason: the Senate did not sufficiently prioritize judicial confirmations in 2023.
President Biden concluded his third year 21 judicial appointments behind his predecessor's pace of 187 appointments in three years for one reason: the Senate did not sufficiently prioritize judicial confirmations in 2023.
NEW: @POTUS just announced six new judicial nominees, including five nominees for lifetime judgeships. It’s important that the president is continuing to nominate individuals to serve on our federal courts, including in states with long-standing vacancies.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
Justice O'Connor's approach was surely influenced by the political + legislative experience that she brought to #SCOTUS , exemplifying the value of having diverse perspectives on the bench. Her legacy endures as we work to achieve a judiciary that reflects the public it serves.
Justice O’Connor demonstrated what it means to be open to all arguments and to changing one’s own views on an issue. In a time of increasing extremism and intransigence, there is wisdom to be had in Justice O’Connor’s legacy and approach. Full statement acslaw.org/press_release/…
BREAKING: the Senate Judiciary Committee authorizes subpoenas for Harlan Crow and Leonard Leo relating to its Supreme Court ethics investigation.
BREAKING: First Native Hawaiian Woman Confirmed as Federal Judge! “Until every court serving Native American populations has that sort of representation, I don’t think our work is done.” said NARF Staff Attorney Morgan Saunders. 19thnews.org/2023/11/first-…
We applaud SJC for voting to authorize subpoenas for Harlan Crow and Leonard Leo and for continuing its investigation into the unethical behavior of certain Supreme Court justices. We have said time and again, the Senate has a responsibility to check and balance #SCOTUS
What is means to prioritize judges: “My feeling is, we should stay weekends,” @SenBlumenthal told @washingtonpost “We should postpone the Christmas recess. We should do whatever it takes.” #courtsmatter washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/…

Today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance, we grieve the transgender Americans whose lives were taken this year. There is no place for hate or discrimination in America. No one should lose their life simply for being themselves.
Supreme Court reaffirmed last term in the Alabama redistricting case that racial gerrymandering is prohibited under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. The court’s attempt today to block the ability of voters even to challenge race discrimination in redistricting must not stand.
