Is Biden’s Partisan Judicial Appointments Undermining the Integrity of Our Courts?
You can thank Joe Biden and Senate Democrats for turning the federal judiciary into a partisan battleground. How did we get here? Well, let’s start with the numbers. Biden’s appointments have shattered records, with 214 judges confirmed, ranking him third for most judicial appointments in a single term. But it’s not just the sheer volume that’s causing concern—it’s the method behind the madness.
Biden’s judicial picks are some of the most controversial in U.S. history. On average, his nominees faced 39 Senate votes against confirmation. That’s 77% more opposition than President Trump’s first-term judicial appointments. And here’s the kicker—Democrats themselves made sure Biden’s confirmations could go through with as little opposition as possible by neutering the filibuster.
The left’s strategy? Stack the courts with judges who reflect their radical agenda. Biden’s 25% of the entire federal judiciary didn’t happen by accident. It’s a direct result of a process the left revamped to secure control and prevent Republican opposition. Even Biden himself helped set the stage by refusing hearings for dozens of Bush’s judicial nominees back in 1992, a move that paved the way for today’s confirmation gridlock.
Is this really the best way to uphold the integrity of our judicial system, or is it just another power grab by the left?
