Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Obama sat 329, Trump Sat 234, so this appear to be on pace but nothing special
Compared to other presidents from the last few decades, it’s low. Source: https://ballotpedia.org/Federal_judicial_appointments_by_president
Biden: ~218 judges per term
Trump: 245 judges per term
Obama: 167 judges per term
W Bush: 170 judges per term
Clinton: 193.5 judges per term
H.W. Bush: 197 judges per term
Reagan: 201 judges per term
Carter: 262 judges per term
Ford: ~74 judges per term
Nixon: ~205 judges per term
Of this entire list he's only behind Trump and Carter.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
President Biden on Tuesday took a victory lap after the Senate confirmed his 150th judicial nominee since he took office, a significant milestone as the White House seeks to put its stamp on the judiciary.
They ensure trials are fair and efficient, helping our criminal justice system function.
“Today, we reached an important milestone — the confirmation of 150 life-tenured federal judges since I took office,” he added.
The White House has stressed the diversity of his nominees for the federal bench, both in terms of gender and race as well as professional background.
And he nominated Ketanji Brown Jackson, who last year became the first Black woman to be confirmed to the Supreme Court.
“We have more work to do, and I am committed to filling every judicial vacancy with appointees whose credentials, ability, and impartiality are beyond question,” Biden said in a statement.
