The milestone comes with the confirmation of two judges to the federal district court in Arizona.
Washington — The Senate on Wednesday is set to confirm President Biden's 200th judicial nominee, surpassing the number of appointments to the federal judiciary made by his two most recent predecessors at this point in their presidencies.The Senate will mark the milestone after its approval of Krissa Lanham on Tuesday and with the vote on Angela Martinez's confirmation Wednesday to seats on the federal district court in Arizona.
'I think it's pretty substantial when you consider what we've been up against,' Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin told CBS News of the milestone, noting the makeup of the narrowly divided Senate and the one-vote Democratic advantage in the Senate Judiciary Committee, which considers the president's nominations.
