GOP Fury: Democrats Speed Through Biden Judge Confirmations
Senate Republicans are criticizing Democrats’ use of the lame-duck session to confirm numerous President Biden’s judicial nominees, citing the late-night voting sessions as disruptive and prioritizing these confirmations over other pressing issues. Republicans are hampered by a lack of votes to block the confirmations and are attempting to delay the process. This contrasts sharply with the Republicans’ actions in 2020, when they confirmed a significant number of Trump’s judicial picks during their own lame-duck session. Despite Republican complaints and efforts to slow confirmations, Senate Majority Leader Schumer intends to proceed with confirming as many of Biden’s nominees as possible before the end of the year.
