Well, there ARE 6 vacancies on the 9th and Trump DOES have an opportunity to moderate its extreme leftist slant IF HE NOMINATES good constitutional conservatives and DOES NOT give Californias Senators veto power.
It will be possible to confirm a HUGE number IF our Republican Senators can be shamed into working like the future of our Republic depends upon it because it really does, IMHO.
There are MANY, MANY other judicial vacancies that need to gotten to on an URGENT basis. Lindsey Graham needs to spend less time politicking and traveling overseas to interfere with Trumps foreign policy and MORE TIME FOCUSING ON JUDICIAL VACANCIES. Your spending time hobnobbing with Turkeys Islamist leader Erdogan doesnt advance Judicial confirmations, Lindsey!
The President and the Senate need to FILL QUICKLY ALL FEDERAL JUDICIAL VACANCIES. Renominate those who were still pending at the end of the last Congress and vet, recruite, and nominate new candidates for ALL the remaining vacancies. Act like the future of the Nation and the Republic depend upon it...since they may!
We have a large number of ACTUAL federal judicial vacancies. IMHO our HIGHEST PRIORITY needs to be FILLING ALL JUDICIAL VACANCIES EXISTING vacancies.
FOR THIS YEAR Id like to see the Republican Senate and the President work so, by the end of the calendar year, well be able to count the number of remaining judicial vacancies on one hand.
BOTH the Senate and President Trump need to get cracking to QUICKLY fill the MANY VACANCIES on US federal judgeships. There are over 140 vacancies of which around 70 had nominees pending in the last Congress. But there were around 70 for which Trump had not yet submitted nominees.

And there are other judgeships where near-future vacancies are known. These also need nominations in the pipeline.

I hope President Trump (and Lindsey Graham, the new Judiciary Committee Chairman) give this effort the URGENCY it needs.
TIME TO GET MOVING SENATOR GRAHAM!
Graham needs to be replaced.
South Carolina has to have one politician that is not a Cheap Labor Express stooge.
