SaysWho? Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Biden set to surpass Trump in first-year judicial nominees, in major push WWW.CNN.COM President Joe Biden will soon announce his latest wave of nine judicial nominees, according to a White House official, capping a year where the selections -- and an effort to establish an imprint on the federal courts -- served as a focal point for his administration. Quote President Joe Biden will soon announce his latest wave of nine judicial nominees, according to a White House official, capping a year where the selections -- and an effort to establish an imprint on the federal courts -- served as a focal point for his administration. Biden plans to announce his intent Wednesday to nominate nine district court nominees, bringing the administration's total for the year to 73 -- one more than former President Donald Trump nominated in his first year in office. Among the nominees Biden will announce his intent to name are Jessica G.L. Clarke, the chief of the New York Attorney General's Civil Rights Bureau since 2019, for the Southern District of New York. He will also nominate Sherilyn Peace Garnett, a former prosecutor and current California Superior Court judge, for the Central District of California. Quote "These choices also continue to fulfill the President's promise to ensure that the nation's courts reflect the diversity that is one of our greatest assets as a country -- both in terms of personal and professional backgrounds," a White House official said in a statement. Biden's efforts have been closely coordinated with Senate Democrats and have resulted in 28 confirmations, with at least two other nominees expected to win confirmation before the end of the year. That number also exceeds Trump's first year in office, which has served as an unofficial benchmark of sorts for an administration keen on emphasizing its focus on the courts. The Senate in 2022 is very important to continue this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CayceG Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 That's good news. The rest of his policy proposals would go a long way to keeping the Senate. Or rather, so would firing Manchin and Sinema into space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, what's the point of your criticisms of the party when even if they do something you wanted, you'll still spin it negatively? Why do anything if you fear the next Hitler isn't going to respect it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see how much it's actually going to matter when they can't pass BBB or voting rights and won't lock up the people who attempted a literal coup.

It should matter to people that their team is getting more representation at those levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_m_b_m_b_m Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Like if we’re lucky we’re a decade off from court reform (maybe more if Thomas dies and Biden replaces him) so get used to small wins folks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If (I know, when) the Republicans take back the House and Senate they’ll most likely spend the next two years blocking that seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO IDEA how to play the long game... meanwhile The Right has been playing their same game for 60 years There are so many lawyers, particularly in left/democratic elite legal circles, that are in denial that a game is even being played! That there isn’ta liberal version of the federalist society isn’t a shock when you consider that the entire purpose of the federalist society is a reaction to the the fucking Warren court and about a solid ten years of liberal jurisprudence and the ideological “betrayal” of Nixon and Reagan appointed justices. Democratic legal operatives thought this was how it’s supposed to be while a relatively small group of the reactionary right built an apparatus to ensure that this never happens again and to take over the formal levers of legal power within the Republican Party! And they won! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
