.@SenSchumer just teed up *12* more Biden judicial nominees for Senate votes — eleven for federal district courts, one for Second Circuit Court of Appeals.

So far, Senate has confirmed 46 Biden-picked judges to lifetime appointments, one of his most consequential acts as POTUS.
Breakdown of Biden's circuit and district court judicial confirmations:

78% of the confirmed judges are women, 53% are persons of color.
20% of the confirmed judges were civil rights lawyers, and 40% served as public defenders during their legal career.
Joe Biden is absolutely crushing judicial nominations, getting a historically diverse slate of brilliant judges confirmed at an unprecedented rate. His focus on women of color and public defenders is reshaping the federal judiciary in profound ways. https://t.co/DFQojZJ7D7

Biden has outpaced Trump in installing federal judges in his first year, sending 64 nominations and confirming 28 so far versus 57 sent by his predecessor at this point and 13 confirmed. But resistance is rising. @hillhulse https://t.co/fJjm78Fin9

Biden and the Dem Senate have rapidly turned around the composition of our lower courts.
— Matthew (@MattKleinOnline) December 28, 2021
Democratic-appointed justices now have majorities on more courts of appeals (1st, 2nd, 4th, 9th, 10th, DC, and federal) than GOP-appointed justices (3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 11th)
President Biden saw more of his judicial nominees confirmed in his first year than any president in the last 40 years. The Senate confirmed 18 federal judges in Donald Trump’s first year. https://t.co/wMAQ5ybm5U

If confirmed, Nusrat Jahan Choudhury would be the first Muslim woman and the first Bangladeshi-American to serve as a federal judge. https://t.co/rleDlxJ7HU

Biden brings the number of his federal judicial nominees to 83 with eight more names announced this morning. One of Biden’s new nominees, Nusrat Jahan Choudhury, would be the first Muslim-American woman to serve as a federal judge.

In one year, President Biden has nominated as many Black women to serve on the federal appeals courts as there were in all of U.S. history when he first took office.
— Senate Judiciary Committee (@JudiciaryDems) January 24, 2022
After a year in office @POTUS & @VP have worked to overtime to diversify the federal judiciary. With the nomination of Arianna Freeman to the 3rd Circuit this administration has nominated more Black women to the bench than ever administration history — combined. This is a BFD.
