Republicans, led by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, have also spent years blocking the confirmations of lower-level judges, leaving more unfilled judgeships in the last Congress than any time since 1952—and a huge opportunity for President Trump . . .
Trump has appointed more federal appeals court judges than former Presidents Obama and Bush had at the same point in their administrations combined . . . .
Trump’s total number of confirmed district court judges to 33 . . . . after the 11 confirmed judges on are finalized at 3:45 this afteroon.
McConnell made it clear that the Senate would stay in session until 12 judges had been confirmed . . . . and it appears that this is exactly what is about to happen.
