BRIEFING ROOM

President Biden Names Thirteenth Round of Judicial Nominees

JANUARY 19, 2022 • STATEMENTS AND RELEASES

The President is announcing eight new federal judicial nominees, all of whom are extraordinarily qualified, experienced, and devoted to the rule of law and our Constitution.

These choices also continue to fulfill the President’s promise to ensure that the nation’s courts reflect the diversity that is one of our greatest assets as a country — both in terms of personal and professional backgrounds.

For example, this slate includes:

• A nominee who would be the first Bangladeshi-American, the first Muslim-American woman, and only the second Muslim-American person to serve as a federal judge.
• A nominee who would be the first African-American woman—and the first woman of color—ever to serve on the Third Circuit.
• A nominee who would be the first Latina ever to serve on the Eastern District of California and the second Hispanic judge actively serving on that court.
• A nominee who immigrated from Taiwan as a child and would be the second Asian-American person to serve on the United States District Court for the District of Colorado—the first being President Biden’s nominee, Judge Regina Rodriguez, who was confirmed in June 2021.

This is President Biden’s thirteenth round of nominees for federal judicial positions and his first slate of nominations in 2022, bringing the number of announced federal judicial nominees to 83.

President Biden has spent decades committed to strengthening the federal bench, which is why he continues to move rapidly to fill judicial vacancies. And he has won confirmation of the most lower court judges for the first year of a presidency since the Kennedy Administration.

"President Biden has spent decades committed to strengthening the federal bench, which is why he continues to move rapidly to fill judicial vacancies.
And he has won confirmation of the most lower court judges for the first year of a presidency since the Kennedy Administration."


Thanks President Biden 💙

2. so, how many are in red states?

If the court is in a blue state, there should no issue with approving them.

If the court is in a red state, is Dick Durbin going to ignore blue slips again like he did last week (on only one nominee, I believe)
