By contrast, here were the confirmations 4 years ago:
- Sept 2019: 6 judges
- Oct 2019: 5 judges

It's hard to watch this result without feeling a sense of dread as 2024 approaches. This is the last chance to fill courts with responsible judges for 4-6 years, and Schumer seems lackadaisical about this.

I agree. Time is definitely the enemy here and Schumer doesn't seem to be appreciating that. We haven't had a circuit judgeship confirmed since mid-July and there have been four reported out of committee and ready for votes on the Senate floor. It's also been over a year since the MD seat on the 4th opened up and there's still no nominee. The Menendez stuff probably isn't helping with getting that seat filled on the 3rd. The vacancy on the 6th (TN) only opened in mid-August, so that's understandable. That's a GWB appointee taking senior status though, which would be a flip of a seat on an important circuit.

On the positive side though, we have gotten some red state district court nominees from places you wouldn't necessarily expect. South Carolina isn't really a surprise, but apparently Biden has nominated two for Oklahoma and four(!) for Florida. They apparently all have the backing of their respective home state Senators.

Keep in mind that as much as we'd like to hit the Trump numbers, those were very different circumstances. Obama took way too long to get it together on judges, not to mention being subject to the filibuster until late 2013 and Leahy keeping blue slips for circuit judgeships. Furthermore, when McConnell took over in 2015, he nearly shut down judicial nominations altogether until Trump took over. Obama only got two circuit judgeships (and one was the Federal Circuit) in his final two years. Trump managed to get as many circuit judgeships seated by the time he left office in four years as Obama managed to get in eight (53 seated when leaving in office). If no more seats open up and Biden can fill all remaining circuit judgeships, he'd be at 42 seated circuit judges (seated doesn't include retirements/resignations/elevations). For a single term, that is an impressive number, not to mention shoring up the powerful DC Circuit. If he can win reelection and hold the Senate, you might expect to see GWB appointees start to stand down in higher numbers. So far, the majority of Biden's circuit judge appointments have been replacing Clinton appointees.
