While the Democrats are flailing and wailing over Tweets the waves of appointments continue and the brakes have been applied to new regulations ...
2 down, 300 to go, before midterms. Ain’t gonna happen because McConnell and Company are doing the slow dance.
Hmm... not liking this story on it’s face. How good can these palookas be if they can get 40+ rat votes
How many had Obama appointed by this point in his first term? Are we ahead or behind or what I wonder
I am sure that Judge St Eve will be fine in the sense that she has to be vastly superior (not even on the same planet) to any Obama pick, so this is something to celebrate, but it bears noting that she was, I believe, the judge on the Conrad Black trial which was a sad case of Fedzilla overreaching IMHO.
What’s the hurry Mitch?

As of today: 36 Article III judges have been confirmed by the Senate.
74 are awaiting Senate confirmation - not sure how many of the 74 have made it through the judiciary committee though, but definitely not all them. FBI background checks have to occur prior to committee action, so that slows things down.
Total federal court vacancies number 140.
Most of the US District Court confirmation votes are unanimous or close to it. The Appeals Court confirmation vote is often along party lines. The 2 votes of 90-0 are abnormal.

Hate to see 91-0 or 90-0 vote tabulations,,,
Racists and homophobes, both of them! (/sarc)
