Biden gets 40 judges confirmed in first year, double Trump's number
|
[WashingtonExaminer] President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. A latter-day version of Romulus Augustulus, only more friendly to the barbarians at the gates...
is moving at twice the pace filing vacancies in federal court than his immediate predecessor during his first year in office, but the Democrat has a long way to go in catching up to Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
's total first-term number.
With the Senate confirming a raft of judicial nominees late Friday into early Saturday, Biden's 2021 total was brought to 40 federal court nominees confirmed, which is 21 more than the 19 Trump had in 2017.
The confirmations will be the last ones of the year, though the Senate voted to advance the nominations of two other judges, Gabriel Sanchez and Holly Thomas to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, who are set to have their final votes in January.
The last president to have at least 40 judicial nominees confirmed in his first year was Ronald Reagan, who had 41, according to a tweet from Thomas Jipping, a senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation.
Despite the head start, Biden is nowhere near Trump's total number. Trump had 234 judges appointed to lifetime tenures across four years, including 54 appellate judges and three Supreme Court
...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations...
judges. Biden has not had an opportunity to nominate any judges to the high court in his first 11 months in office, but he is making headway in diversifying the federal bench.
Whereas Trump had Republicans, led by then-Majority Leader Mitch McConnell
 ...Senate minority leader from Kentucky. A politician's politician, Mitch is smarter than he's given credit for, not as smart as he thinks he is. He is married to former education secretary Elaine Chao, whose father has extensive shipping interests, including a company in China, which makes sense since he's Chinese. He is sometimes maligned as Cocaine Mitch because a few million bucks' worth of the drug was once found on one of his father-in-law's ships in Colombia, which is kind of a tenuous assertion, to say the least...
, in control of the Senate during his one term, Biden is working with an upper chamber split 50-50 along party lines, with Vice President Kámala Harris
Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's former mistress, then a senatrix from California, and then a former 2020 Dem presidential hopeful. She dropped out because she was polling in negative numbers because of racism or misogyny or something like that. Her father is a Marxist professor emeritus at Stanford and her mother is an Indian of the Hindoo tribe. She is reputedly the proud descendant of a long line of women. Joe Biden picked her for her skin tone, feeling she could also bring in the Native American, women's, and bimbo votes. She's an outstanding exemplar of the Peter Principle, proudly displaying her level of competence in her handling of the Biden Border Surge
as the tie-breaker.
And if the Democrats lose control of the Senate next November, which looks possible, two years of confirmations will be all they get. Something to ponder when those on the Left get excited. The Senate also confirmed other sorts of nominees in this final batch of the year, including former reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...
Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who was an Obama adviser, to be ambassador to Japan. Roughly 30 senators missed the votes, with the tallies for each one hovering between the high 60s and low 70s.
