Senate Republicans and President Trump continue to smash records as far as judicial confirmations are concerned, with seven Senate confirmations in just the past week — five of them women.
The flurry of confirmations adds to an extraordinary run for Trump and the Senate. His 12 federal appeals court confirmations were the most ever in the first year of a presidency.
President Obama won three confirmations in his first year, despite the fact that Democrats controlled 60 seats in the Senate for part of that time. George W. Bush won six confirmations.
President Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy are tied for second behind Trump. Each had 11 appeals-court judges confirmed during year one.
The Senate’s confirmation pace has actually accelerated in 2018. According to the Senate Judiciary Committee, 24 circuit court judges have been confirmed so far — the most ever at this stage in a presidency.

So Trump now has 51 judges confirmed, 26 to district courts, 24 to circuit courts and one to the Supreme Court.
God bless DJT.
The redoubt of judicial tyranny is about to fall.
When do the confirmation hearings for Kavanaugh begin?
And still not enough
“When do the confirmation hearings for Kavanaugh begin?”
Likely first week of September.
If Grassley is smart (and he is) he will schedule it the week before because the democrats will delay it a week just because they can (they always do, just like with Alito).
When does Grassley back off his threat to not let a new AG come up for consideration? He’s got to see that Sessions is useless.
Thanks! I’m getting anxious. It would be good to get him confirmed before the primaries IMO. I would like to get my senator, Joe Donnelly on the record on his vote on Kavanaugh.
I think that if the republicans retain the House, then both Sessions and Rosenstein will be gone early next year. Then the new congress can confirm their replacements.
McCain will be dead or resigned from the Senate by then too.
Thank you Senator Grassley and President Trump.
Thanks for your diligence with these Federal judge posts.
What makes you think McLame is alive now?
