President Biden on Thursday marked the 235 judicial confirmations he secured during his single term in the White House, a figure that surpasses that of President-elect Donald Trump.
Joined by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin, Mr. Biden delivered remarks from the White House highlighting the judges that he had nominated and the Democrat-led Senate confirmed to the federal bench.
"They represent the best of America," the president said of his nominees.
Mr. Biden underscored how judges shape many aspects of American life, from voting rights to workers rights to environmental rules, and said he is proud of his administration's impact on the federal courts.
"Judges matter, shaping the everyday lives of Americans, protecting our basic freedoms ... defending constitutional liberties, respecting the idea that precedent matters," he said. "These judges will be independent, they'll be fair, and they'll be impartial and respect the rule of law. And most importantly — I never thought I'd be saying this — they'll uphold the Constitution."
The president's judicial record includes one appointment to the Supreme Court, 45 to the federal courts of appeals, 187 to the U.S. district courts and two to the U.S. Court of International Trade.
Mr. Biden's pick of Justice Jackson for the Supreme Court was historic, as she is the first Black woman to sit on the nation's highest court.
"The record is clear: the nominees of President Joseph Biden to the federal bench represent the best of the judiciary, the best of America," Durbin, an Illinois Democrat, said in brief remarks.
One out of every four judges now on the federal bench were nominated by Mr. Biden, he said.
Schumer called the 235 appointments "historic" and said the president's judicial picks "will be a barrier against attacks on our democratic institutions."

When the Satanic DemonRATs steal the Senate and WH again like they did in 2020, we need to make sure we file lawsuits every time one of those maggots looks at us cross-eyed.
I read that Trump has 65 open that need to be filled. As usual with all Republican nominated judges, 25% of them will sell the Constitution out as readily as Dem nominated hack.
And there we were told McConnell was such a whiz at keeping Democrat judicial nominations from going off the deep end.
The indoctrination at law schools is so strong that the pickings are rather lean.
Gorsuch is Trump's best Justice. But he's still no Alito or Thomas.
Exactly.
Amazing even a few who are not Marxist-Woke-Democrats ever get out of law school.
They are ridiculed by classmates, sabotaged and graded down by woke professors all the way.
Agree. The other two are losers. Two panderers. One with trophy adoptees, and the other only hires female clerks. How were they not flashing red signals? Gorsuch is a pothead, libertarian, who is mostly right.
Sounds like joe confused the branches of government in function and deeds.
Lindsey Graham voted for almost all of them.
Never forget that.

90%.
Every now and then, he makes some decisions that even Roberts and Kavanaugh disagree.
This illustrates what a disgrace Roberts is. Biden is bragging that his hack Judges are effectively a super branch of the Government. They are because that traitor Roberts lets them.
Knowing Dubya, I would say that Roberts is a good representative of his legacy. We lucked out with Alito. We were supposed to have Harriet Miers instead.

How many were auto penned (or at least ones he chose on his own)?
These Biden judges are often foreigners who have no respect for American traditions or constitutional rule.
Absolutely need to treat bad decisions with impeachment.
Need to streamline the process.
The “D” type terminal cancer in the White House tried to metastasize to the rest of the Republic. Hopefully the surgery performed by Pres. Trump cures it.
If memory serves Roberts replaced Miers. I don’t know if she would have been any worse.
