Senate Confirms 200th Diverse Judicial Nominee to Lifetime Appointment Under Biden
May 22, 2024, 04:38 PM
The Senate has confirmed President Biden's 200th judicial nominee, marking a significant milestone for the Biden administration and Senate Democrats. This achievement surpasses the number of judicial appointments made by Biden's two most recent predecessors at this point in their presidencies. The nominees are noted for their high qualifications and diversity, with 64% being women and 62% people of color. The confirmations reflect the administration's commitment to a judiciary that mirrors the nation's demographics and upholds the rule of law. This milestone, which represents lifetime appointments, is seen as a crucial step in rebalancing the federal judiciary, which had become more conservative under former President Trump. The Senate Judiciary Committee played a key role in this process, and the 200 confirmed judges now make up over one-fifth of federal judgeships.
