President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday called on Senate Republicans to halt President Joe Biden’s final judicial nominees before Inauguration Day next year.
Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) called on Schumer in an opinion article, published by Time magazine, to use the remaining time to “confirm federal judges and key regulators,” who cannot “be removed by” Trump when he takes office.
Schumer thought Senate Republicans would just roll over and allow him to quickly confirm multiple Biden-appointed judges to lifetime jobs in the final weeks of the Democrat majority, he thought wrong,” the senator said.
“The Democrats are trying to stack the Courts with Radical Left Judges on their way out the door,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
Around the same time, the president-elect called on the Senate Republican leader to allow for recess appointments of his Cabinet picks.
We’re going to spend the rest of this week and the rest of this year focused on confirming them,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said on the Senate floor Tuesday.
3, Democrats will lose their slim Senate majority, while Trump is slated to take office on Jan.
Kidd was one of five nominees to the 13 intermediate appeals courts who were awaiting Senate consideration at the time of the Nov.
The U.S. Constitution says the president can make recess appointments to fill vacant positions when the Senate is not in session.
