We’ve got to get more Circuit judges confirmed to counter balance Obama/Biden. Of course its not a surprise they’re far ahead given they had 12 years between them and Trump hasn’t even had 5 years in office yet.
Not flipping a few Senators in 2022 was very damaging because it meant Biden got to have a ton more judges confirmed than he otherwise would have. We’ve gotten rid of most of the Democrat Senators from red states. The big exceptions are Arizona and Georgia. There is no reason why two red stats should send 4 Democrat Senators to Washington.
There are no more Circuit vacancies at the moment. But there will probably be about 15 from the Reagan and HW Bush retirements and probably a couple of Clinton or W retirements.
Reagan appointed judge resigns. District judge not a circuit judge but his replacement will make the MA district court more conservative...if stupid ancient Grassley ignores the blue slip business.
