Democrats urged to fill federal vacancies before GOP takes control
The piece argues Biden and Democrats should fill lower court vacancies now to counter Republicans’ moves to stack the judiciary. It cites blue slips, Senate norms, and past Senate actions by Mitch McConnell, urging unilateral action to avoid a Republican-dominated bench shaping abortion, gun, and environmental rulings. The author notes constitutional nominating and confirmation roles and warns of a dysfunctional system if vacancies persist.
