President Biden marks 235 judicial confirmations
President Joe Biden has marked 235 judicial confirmations — the largest number in a single term since the Carter administration.
Biden said the judges matter, shaping the everyday lives of Americans and protecting basic freedoms.
The 235 confirmations include one to the Supreme Court, 45 to the nation’s courts of appeals, 187 to district courts, and two to the U.S. Court of International Trade.
Biden was joined by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin.
Schumer said Senate Democrats have confirmed 235 judges — more than any majority has confirmed in decades.
