With no Supreme Court opening to slow them, President Joe Biden and Senate Democrats are putting judges on federal trial and appellate courts at a much faster clip than any of Biden’s recent predecessors, including former President Donald Trump
WASHINGTON — .
Justice Byron White announced his retirement two months after Clinton’s inauguration in 1993. Justice David Souter told Obama he would step down just over three months after Obama took office in 2009., but the 82-year-old leader of the court’s diminished liberal wing has given every indication he will be on the bench when the court starts its new term in October.
Biden also has nominated civil rights attorney Myrna Perez for the federal appeals court based in New York. She would be the first Latina on that court since Justice Sonia Sotomayor moved up to the Supreme Court. Biden's nominees all have drawn at least some Republican support in the Senate. Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Susan Collins, R-Maine, have voted for all eight judges who have been confirmed.Some of the opposition could be a form of payback for Democratic opposition to Trump nominees, said Carrie Severino, whose conservative Judicial Crisis Network has spent millions of dollars supporting Republican nominees and opposing Democrats.
