Leader Schumer filed cloture on Executive Calendar #55 Glenna Laureen Wright-Gallo to be Assistant Secretary for Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, Department of Education.
Confirmed by voice vote: Executive Calendar #74 Damien M. Diggs to be United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Texas for the term of four years.
Confirmed by voice vote: Executive Calendar #153 Amanda K. Brailsford to be United States District Judge for the District of Idaho.

I would say it was a good week on judges (one circuit judge and six district judges confirmed). Biden's certainly done well with the 9th Circuit (seven judges now, with an eighth recently nominated). Obama managed seven, though Trump got 10. I don't really understand Schumer's prioritizations though. I know some nominees will be more difficult without Feinstein in town, but Brad Garcia's nomination to the DC Circuit was reported out of committee over three months ago (with Graham's support too). He should have no problem getting confirmed with bipartisan support. It's bordering on incompetence leaving a seat on that court vacant for so long.

I certainly hope so. If Leader Schumer is listening, please get the circuit court vacancies filled ASAP and consider eliminating blue slips.

I'm certainly glad to see movement there, though we clearly didn't have to wait for Feinstein. Apart from the GHWB appointee, the DC Circuit is rather young, relatively speaking (only one judge out of 11 was born before 1961). Unfortunately, no cloture motions were filed before the weekend. I'd like to see some movement on Abudu, Rikelman, and especially Bloomekatz. (If Manchin ever defects on judicial nominations, it might be on any number of those.) Garcia and Bloomekatz are probably prime SCOTUS candidates for at least the next decade, if not more.

As for Feinstein's return, we did get three judges sent to the floor on a party-line vote. There is no shortage of nominees ready for Schumer to take to the full Senate. I count three other circuit court nominees and 21 district court nominees reported out of committee. I'd like to see those and more done by summer recess.

Garcia confirmed 53-40 and Schumer filed a cloture motion on Abudu (along with two district court nominees). He's still pulling the easy ones in terms of the district court nominees, but I would consider it a productive day for the Senate.

The DC Circuit will now, once again, have a 7D-4R majority.

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Leader Schumer filed cloture on Executive Calendar #175 Jeremy C. Daniel to be United States District Judge for the Northern District of Illinois.
Leader Schumer filed cloture on Executive Calendar #177 Darrel James Papillion to be United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Louisiana.
Leader Schumer filed cloture on Executive Calendar #20 Nancy G. Abudu to be United States Circuit Judge for the Eleventh Circuit.
