The Senate confirmed President Biden’s 100th judicial nominee, marking a significant milestone in Democrats’ efforts to remake the courts, after President Donald Trump successfully filled a record number of judicial openings during his term in office.
By contrast, of the 229 judges confirmed during President Trump’s four years in office, only 11 were minority women and 26 were minority men. Forty-four of Trump’s confirmed judges were White women and 148 were White men.
“Senate Democrats have focused intensely on expanding the diversity of our courts, and not just in terms of demographics but in terms of experience, professional experience too,” Schumer said in a statement Tuesday. “We are working hard not only to add more women, more people of color, more lawyers from unique backgrounds to the bench, but people of different walks of life.”
“This is the opposite of the moment to slow down. If you rest on your laurels, you’re going to end up way behind,” Feingold said. “It’s a situation where it’s terrible to blow a lead. You don’t want to be the Philadelphia Eagles here. It’s literally halftime.”
