Murkowski: There needs to be legitimate vetting. When I say legitimate, I mean just thorough vetting that the committees do. This is our job.

Morning! ☕️ Senate Republicans are walking around complaining about Democrats confirming lots of Biden's judges in the lame duck, which is... the same thing they did with Trump's judges in the 2020 lame duck. huffpost.com/entry/republic…

The Senate’s consideration of a president’s judicial nominees is one of its core functions and has huge implications for our rights, our freedoms, and our democracy. It’s critical that senators continue voting on President Biden’s highly qualified nominees. #ConfirmJudgesNow

Most federal cases don’t make it to the Supreme Court. They get decided by district or circuit court judges. And while Democrats control the Senate, we must use every possible minute to fill vacancies on those courts with independent-minded judges who respect the rule of law.

Amazing news!!! Congratulations Justice Allison Riggs!!

Our communities need fair-minded judges. We need our senators to focus on judicial nominations in these last few weeks of 2024 and ensure our courts are staffed with qualified and diverse judges. Call your senators at (202) 224-3121. #ConfirmJudgesNow

It’s 2pm on a Thursday and the Senate is leaving town

.NBC News: "Biden is on track to appoint more federal judges of color than any other president" Steven Cheung: He is proud to have made the federal bench "more representative of the country as a whole, & that legacy will have an impact for decades to come” nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/bi…

lenazwarensteyn w/ The Leadership Conference: "Even before taking office, President Biden signaled to the Senate that he wanted to make sure that people who had been historically excluded from our judiciary”

President Donald J. Trump also nominated and confirmed "record numbers of former public defenders, civil rights lawyers or lawyers representing workers. More than half his appointees have been women"

This is a BFD! Thank you, President Donald J. Trump! We have more work to do including confirming all of the pending nominees including Circuit Court nominees!

Sen. SCHUMER on Democrats’ besting Donald Trump’s judicial confirmation total: One out of every four active judges on the bench was appointed by this Senate Democratic Majority.

Sen. WHITEHOUSE on Democrats’ besting Donald Trump’s judicial confirmation total: This is “very good news.” Now, in court after court after court, those seeking justice will get a fair and honest judge to hear their case.

Sen. KLOBUCHAR on Democrats’ besting Donald Trump’s judicial confirmation total: It’s not just the number… it’s the “quality of these judges.”

We made history with the 235 judges confirmed under President Biden. Here’s how. A THREAD.

Sen. PADILLA: Birthright citizenship is the law of the land. Will you defend the 14th Amendment? Bondi: I will study it. I would love to meet with you. Padilla: You still need to study it? That’s not helping me have confidence in your ability to do this job.

I oppose Emil Bove’s nomination to a lifetime position on the Court of Appeals.

Never have so many been so grievously hurt in the service of so few.

Emil Bove is beyond unfit to serve in a lifetime judgeship, as Sen. Cory Booker explains, and should not be in public office. Period. Senators must take their constitutional responsibility seriously and reject his nomination for the Third Circuit: p2a.co/teso5tl

Yesterday at #SCOTUS, President Donald J. Trump attorney D. John Sauer spoke over female justices so often Chief Justice Roberts had to intervene. npr.org/2026/01/21/nx-…
