'Stunning Diversity': How Joe Biden Reshaped The Courts In 2023

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Joe Biden did something this year that no other president has done. “Judges rule on issues related to health care, voting rights and so much more that impacts our daily lives, so it is especially meaningful to see brilliant civil rights lawyers ascend to the bench directly from our nation’s civil and human rights and public interest organizations.” Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson greets President Joe Biden before his State of the Union address at the U.S. Capitol on Feb. 7, 2023. “Barring some major upheaval in 2024, there’s no way Biden can match Trump’s four-year total of 54 court of appeals appointees.” To date, Biden has confirmed 39 appeals court judges. “I am slightly disappointed,” he said of Biden’s pace in 2023, “but given the quality of the nominees, it’s forgivable.” Tobias, too, said he is “cautiously optimistic” that Biden and Senate Democrats will expedite confirmations. “More packages like this would enable Biden to surpass Trump’s district appointees and perhaps approach his appellate confirmees.” Marge Baker, an executive vice president of People for the American Way, a progressive advocacy group, said that Biden “deserves congratulations for the stunning diversity of his judicial nominees,” but emphasized that he and Democrats must keep their eye on the ball in 2024.
