President Trump outpaces Obama with 19 federal court judges confirmed

[Common]

In one year Trump confirms more Fed Judges than obama did in 8

The Senate confirmed President Trump (https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/donald-trump/)’s 19th federal judge Thursday, approving James Ho for a seat on the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and further bolstering the judicial army that conservatives wanted to build.
Mr. Ho, confirmed on a 53-43 vote, becomes the first Asian-American on that appeals court. Democratic Sens. Claire McCaskill of Missouri, Joe Donnelly of Indiana, and Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota joined Republicans in voting for Mr. Ho.
He’s the third federal appeals court judge the Senate confirmed this week, and the 19th judge overall. That’s well ahead of the 14 that President Obama had won by the end of his first year, but behind the pace of Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton.
“If the tax bill does not pass, President Trump (https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/donald-trump/) can claim the confirmation of judges as his most significant achievement in the first year,” said Carl Tobias, law professor at the University of Richmond.
Mr. Trump (https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/donald-trump/) entered office facing more than 100 judicial vacancies, including one on the Supreme Court. Justice Neil M. Gorsuch was his first court victory, and he’s followed it up with a series of confirmations, the majority coming on the federal appeals courts, which are particularly crucial.

There are 3294 federal judges. Nineteen is just a drop in the bucket.

Not at the APPEALS COURT LEVEL there aren't.

Um, yeah, there's a reason President Obama had few judicial appointees approved, fellas.


Since taking control of the Senate in early 2015, Republicans have confirmed only 17 federal judges, a historically low number. The Senate confirmed just 11 judges in 2015, the fewest since 1960. There have been only two appellate court judges approved since Republicans took control, with seven appeals court nominations left pending. If the Senate doesn’t confirm any appellate judges this year, it will have confirmed the fewest since the 1897-98 session, when there were just 25 circuit court judges nationwide, compared with 179 now.

It's called "Republican obstructionism". Republican members' failing to do their Constitutional duty in the case of Merrick Garland remains one of the most shameful and childish chapters in the Senate's history, but it didn't stop there.

Good for them. Same crap the Dems did to GW Bush after 2006. ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES....

Sorta obvious, the senate blocked the intelligent judge selections of Pres Obama for ideological, corporate, dark money idiots. No one should need an article to know that unless they too are.....

You can't appoint unless there is an opening.

You lefties use it all the time. Can't take it when you lose it. Obama and his legacy is going down the toilet and it is killing you.

You righties are nothing but hypocritical when it comes to what you want to argue about.
