Washington — While the coronavirus crisis has brought most congressional action to glacial creep, the Senate machine churning out President Trump's judicial nominations is still humming.
Since February 11, the Senate has confirmed nine federal judges, bringing the total number of judges on the federal bench appointed by President Trump to 196.
Last week, the Senate voted to confirm three nominees to district courts and teed up votes on two more for after Memorial Day. The Senate Judiciary, meanwhile, has proceeded with the nominations of Cory Wilson to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, and Justin Walker, tapped for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.
Once they're confirmed, all of the vacancies on the 12 U.S. circuit courts of appeals will be filled. Mike Davis, head of The Article III Project, a judicial advocacy group, said he cannot recall a past president filling all vacancies on the regional circuit courts.

Let’s get honest and place quotes around the word “news” when we’re writing about the collection of lot-T clowns currently infesting the enemedia.
Oops, low-T. The only lot-Ts the enemedia has are lattes.
It's about frickin' time.

“It’s about frickin’ time.”
I don’t understand the comment, as they are both recent appointees, and once they are confirmed, all - yes all - current vacancies on the Circuits Courts of Appeal will be filled.
It’s the first judges confirmed in quite awhile.
EXCELLENT! Ram ‘em all through Turtle.
and that will make 53 which is a lot to get done in a first term....but it still won’t quite undo the damage Obama did. He managed to put 55 constitution shredding Leftists on the Circuit Courts. We will STILL have a couple more to go just to get us back to where we were before Obama.
Excellent! More judges who will rule on the Constitution, not on their personal political preference.
