Actually it looks like 5 district court judges were confirmed today, and 7 total this week.
*************************************************
5 today, 1 yesterday and 3 on Monday for total of 9. But the three on Monday were completions of work done last week. There were no judicial confirmation votes last week. So, for these past two weeks, the Senate is averaging 4 1/2 judicial confirmations per week. That is an acceleration from their earlier pace and would be the minimally acceptable pace if they would keep it up — but they won’t because other upcoming work will distract from this effort. The Republican Senate leadership needs to accelerate this effort WHILE THEY CAN. They can work on additional days of the week besides the Monday - Wednesday work schedule they’re currently on. And, for some weeks, they could also work additional hours on Monday through Wednesday when that will help.
For district judges only 2 hours of filibuster, er ripening is allowed when nominee reaches the Senate floor. So it seems we can turn out 4 of these trial judges per day on average.
For a typical 4 day work week that is 16 judges per week. Am I wrong. Time to turbocharged this process.
Similarly with 30 hours of ripening the circuit judges can be turned out one per week.
