President Biden has confirmed a record number of judges during his first term, emphasizing diversity in the federal judiciary.
This marks the largest number of confirmations in a single term since the Carter administration,” the White House said in a memo. “These highly qualified men and women — all committed to the rule of law and the Constitution — will serve the federal Judiciary for decades to come.”Judges are arguably a president’s most lasting legacy, shaping the law long after they’ve left office.
Biden has put more women, people of color, out LGBTQ+ people and professionally diverse people into lifetime federal judgeships― following through on one of his early campaign promises to reshape the judiciary to reflect the nation as a whole.“President Biden has set records when it comes to the demographic diversity of his appointees,” the White House said in its memo. “In doing so, he has helped to ensure that the Judiciary looks like the communities it serves — vital to instilling confidence in both judicial decision-making and outcomes — while refusing to sacrifice on ability or qualifications.”Biden’s judicial confirmations include one to the Supreme Court, 45 to the courts of appeals and 187 to district courts. Women and people of color account for the vast majority of them. Of course, Trump is set to be sworn in for his second presidential term Jan. 20, 2025. He will have four more years in office to add to his judicial streak ― and with a GOP-controlled Senate, that will entail at least two more years of judicial confirmations.Chuck Schumer Cuts Deal With GOP To Confirm Some Of Biden’s Final Judges, Drop Other
