Why?  We could be confirming Judges for the whole month of October.

Campaigning, but a couple Sens. will have to come into town to consider the NDAA in 2 wks., & Judish nom hearings are likely still happening remotely, so there'll be plenty of confirmations to proceed straight to upon return in Nov.

In the end, [McConnell's judicial confirmation assembly line] only left a single seat on the table for Joe Biden to fill (a 1st Circuit judge died in late October 2020). If it was the DC Circuit or another court of high significance, they probably would've made an attempt. (That was also when control of the Senate was contingent on the Georgia runoffs.)

They actually did make an attempt at the open CA1 seat anyway with Arias-Marxuach as the original nominee to succeed Torruella, but Graham refused to help McConnell & report the nom. to the floor after giving him a Judiciary hearing a wk. before Christmas just as a courtesy, enabling Biden to pick Gelpí.
