Good news and I hope many more non-lefty judges to be confirmed.
I think it will be over 60 Federalist Society members with this latest batch.
All four confirmed already.
I'll have to check the Graham Judiciary Twitter media person's feed.
Confirmed, 53-46: Executive Calendar #118 Greg Guidry to be U.S. District Judge for the Eastern District of Louisiana
Confirmed, 77-21: Executive Calendar #50, James Cain, Jr. to be U.S. District Judge for the Western District of Louisiana

Confirmed, 52-46: Executive Calendar #22 Matthew Kacsmaryk to be U.S. District Judge for the Northern District of Texas
Gotta love those butt-hurt numbers on the votes. Dey Democrats - dey mad.
Promising. Trump needs to continue stacking the courts and administrative bodies.
“All four confirmed already.”
Good news!
That’s a good start!
I think it is funny that the left uses the words “Federalist Society judicial appointment” like the phrase denotes some sort of warped Nazi-like skinhead attorneys. The Federalist Society is essentially made up of normal attorneys, faculty and (especially) law students who are sort of policy wonks, but are committed to the US Constitution and the rule of law.
These are exactly the types of judges everyone with a brain should want, if they love our Nation.
Which is why we love them.
And all under 50 years old. About time.
“It’ll take a dozen more to offset the idiocy and ignorance of Carlton Reaves of Brandon, Mississippi, that was appointed by Obama and is an affirmative action professional black victim. “
Now that’s what I call reparations.
The nomination and confirmation process is grinding slow this summer. 2 hour filibusters for district judges is not helping the turnaround time much. One per week for circuit judges could give us 16 per week for these trial judges.
Would like to see this summer confirming all currently nominated district judges this summer as well as getting nominees for circuit judges that are vacant. Start the march of GOP 80 plus year old active judges to Senior status and getting nominees for those vacancies pronto.
Wait for fossil DEM circuit judges to die in their robes as well. 2nd circuit has two of these joining RBG and Breyer on their dance floor.
Interesting. Mostly along party-line votes (as expected), but what’s up with Cain, Jr? Why did he get so many Dem crossovers?
