Yay Biden Judges!

Last year, Joe Biden vowed to nominate federal judges "who look like America, are committed to the rule of law, understand the importance of individual civil rights and civil liberties in a democratic society, and respect foundational precedents like Brown vs. Board of Education and Roe v. Wade."
Well, promises made and promises kept!
Tuesday, Joe Biden announced his first crop of judicial nominees. And they are very good judicial nominees!
Amazingly, every single nominee is a woman or person of color. Almost a third of them have served as public defenders! And some of them didn't even go to Harvard or Yale.
This is the fastest a president has nominated this many judges, which speaks well for how seriously the Biden administration is taking its role in appointing judges. (Even the Trump regime, which was surprisingly and unfortunately efficient at getting judges confirmed, had only nominated two judges by this point in 2017.)
As a former longtime Senate Judiciary Chair, Biden has a deep background in judicial nominations. And I couldn't be happier to see him using it for good!
