And progressive groups count 77 current judicial vacancies and 40 future judicial vacancies they want to see filled before the end of the year. They’re pressing for the Judiciary Committee to schedule additional confirmation hearings.

The committee currently has 29 announced judicial nominees, five nominees waiting for committee votes and 22 who are waiting for a floor vote. A panel aide highlighted that 98 judicial nominees have already moved through committee, including Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson and 28 circuit court nominees.

 

The aide added that the committee is on track to process 30 circuit court nominees by the end of September, the same number Trump had at the end of his two years in office.
