Senate Deal Allows Trump to Fill Four Appellate Judge Seats

Senate Democrats have agreed to confirm 12 of President Biden's lower-court judicial nominees while withdrawing four appeals court nominees due to insufficient support. This decision is part of a broader strategy to confirm as many judges as possible before potentially losing power. Meanwhile, the Judges Act, which proposes adding 66 federal judgeships, remains stalled in the House, despite calls from judges for more resources to handle increasing caseloads.
