President JoeBiden's biggest obstacle to offsetting realDonaldTrump's judicial legacy is the South
So far, Biden won confirmations for 97 appointments to U.S. district courts, appeals courts, and the Supreme Court over the past two years. For the comparable two-year period, President Donald Trump advanced his goal to transform federal courts with the help of then-White House counsel Don McGahn and then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, naming 85 judges.
In accordance with the Constitution's terms, a president seeks the"advice and consent" of Senate judicial appointments. There's a traditional influence home-state senators exert in the president's selection of district and appellate court nominees known as the"blue slip," even to the extent of blocking a disfavored selection. But in 2017, then-Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley demoted the blue slip for appellate nominations.
The 5th Circuit is considered one of the most conservative appellate courts in the nation, with 12 Republican-appointed members and four Democratic-appointed members presently on the bench.
