The U.S. Senate is positioned to confirm at least 243 of President Joe Biden’s Democratic judicial nominees as he prepares to leave office, including 217 that had received official nods during this four-year term as of Tuesday night.

Another 26 judicial nominees are pending approval, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer told Republicans and Democrats alike as many of those as possible could be voted on this evening.

It’s all part of a last-minute push to leverage the current Democratic Senate and White House before they’re both flipped to GOP in January.

That’s when former President Donald Trump will become the next president.

While Trump benefitted from the same kind of final-hour drive to appoint his own GOP judges when he last left office, he argued on social media last night this is different.

“Democrats are trying to stack the Courts with Radical Left Judges on their way out the door,” Trump declared.

Moreover, U.S. Sen. John Kennedy, a member of the Judiciary Committee, told Beltway Beat that most of the Biden nominees are “unqualified.”

Kennedy said, “Just because you have seen ‘My Cousin Vinny’ doesn’t mean you’re qualified to be a federal judge with a lifetime appointment. Aside from not knowing the law, many of President Biden’s picks also have strong social, cultural and economic points of view that, based on these picks’ history, they will impose on litigants, in my opinion.”

The Louisiana senator likewise accused Democrats of abusing the Senate’s power for political purposes.

“Judges should be neutral arbiters of the law, not legislators or politicians in robes,” Kennedy said. “I have tried to weed these bad picks out, or at least expose them. That’s my job. I will keep doing my job.”
