Ok, but I’ll admit I’m confused on the praise or whatever is going on. Appointing judges is the duty of the President, so he did his job? Well he doesn’t actually appoint, it’s the senate who confirms, so, yay Senate?

To Cohen, the law professor from Drexel, the news is more nuanced than either Democrats or Republicans would like it to be. “Multiple things can be true at the same time,” he told me Sunday. “It’s fantastic they confirmed so many judges to counterbalance the Trump cadre of judges. But also, there should be zero vacancies remaining.”

(context)

there are still 36 judicial vacancies he can fill in the federal courts, all but 2 in the district courts. (A couple of Biden’s nominees did not wind up being confirmed after he reportedly did not formally submit their nominations to the Senate in time.)

so if we’re averaging it out like he didn’t turn in 38 assignments, he got a 86% (B grade). Happy he did the thing, just not sure on the fanfare of it all.
