Democrats scramble to confirm Biden judicial nominees before November
CNNCNN — Voting to advance Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson will be the main event when the Senate Judiciary Committee meets Monday. Since Justice Stephen Breyer announced his retirement in late January, the Senate has confirmed 16 lower court judges – all while Democrats were managing the high-stakes, resource-intensive Supreme Court nomination process. The general time crunch is being further complicated by the procedural tactics Republicans can employ to slow a nominee’s path to confirmation, in addition to a Senate norm that Democrats for now are currently honoring that gives senators veto power over district court nominees from their state. And for district court nominees to even advance through committee, their home state senators must return what’s known as “blue slips” in order for their nominations to go forward.
