There are currently no vacancies on the U.S. Court of Appeals. This account is now undergoing a (temporary?) existential crisis. #appellatetwitter

With the confirmation of Cory T. Wilson the Republican-controlled Senate has confirmed 200 federal judges appointed by President Trump. Almost 1 out of every 5 federal judges throughout the country today are Trump nominees.

I was disappointed in @nytimes for running smear article on D.C. Circuit Judge Griffith yesterday. If they had done a bit more digging, it was pretty widely known in DC legal circles that the judge decided to retire last year due to spouse's health issues. npr.org/2020/05/05/850…

Judge Justin Walker, @POTUS’s choice to serve on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, is an outstanding legal scholar. President Trump has chosen a rising Kentucky star to refresh a crucial federal court. My statement: bit.ly/2R92AVR

10/50 were to the Ninth Circuit.

Obama confirmed 55 Circuits in 8 years. Trump got 50 in 3. Overall Trump + McConnell approving judges faster than any president but Carter. Dems are in HUGE hole even with 2020 win “I don't know if there are any positions that are going to be left to be filled” says Sen. Tester
