House Passes Bill to Add 66 Judges, Biden Threatens Veto
Dec 12, 2024, 03:41 PM
The U.S. House of Representatives has passed the JUDGES Act, a bill aimed at expanding the federal judiciary by authorizing 66 new district court judgeships across the nation. This legislation, which has already passed the Senate with bipartisan support, seeks to address the growing caseloads in federal courts. Despite its bipartisan backing, President Joe Biden has threatened to veto the bill, citing concerns over the timing and potential political implications. The bill's passage comes at a time when Biden's judicial nominations are nearing a significant milestone, with 233 lifetime federal judges confirmed, just one shy of former President Donald Trump's total. The expansion of the judiciary, if enacted, would be the first major increase in judgeships since 1990, aiming to improve access to justice and expedite case resolutions.
