The race to confirm Joe Bidens judicial nominees has turned into a fast-paced countdown with Senate Democrats facing a tight-schedule before years end. More than twenty-five court positions remain unfilled‚ while Donald Trump tells GOP members to stop these appointments at all costs
The situation gets more complex — Senate leaders must deal with various scheduling conflicts and procedural hold-ups (which slow down the whole process). A lot depends on getting these confirmations done: if Democrats dont succeed Trump could fill these spots with right-leaning judges after taking office
The importance of these appointments becomes clear when looking at Trumps previous time in office; his administration put more than 200 judges on federal courts including 3 supreme-court justices. These picks moved Americas judicial system way to the right: a shift that still affects legal decisions today
No confirmations should happen now - let the next president choose
The current stand-off shows how court appointments became a key-point in US politics. The Democrats push-forward despite having limited time; while Republicans follow Trumps directions to block these last-minute picks
