Trump: None of the judges will be confirmed before the inauguration day

According to Isna, Donald Trump, the president-elect of the United States, wrote on the “Truth Social” social media: “Democrats are trying to fill the courts with a bunch of radical leftist judges. Republican senators need to step up and take matters into their own hands. No judge will be approved before the inauguration day!”

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Monday on the Senate floor that they should confirm judicial nominees as soon as possible before the new year.

The White House has criticized Republicans and Trump for trying to slow down the process of confirming judges at the end of this year.

In the meantime, the White House spokesman announced in a statement: “Regardless of party, the American people expect their leaders to take action to enforce the law and ensure a judicial system that can function effectively in every state.”

He added: “The delay in approving experienced and qualified judges has a huge cost on legal institutions and leads to the prolongation of judicial and criminal procedures. Just like in 2020, when Senator John Thawne said, senators have an urgent reason to continue working together in good faith to elect and confirm judges. “There is no excuse for choosing partisanship over law enforcement.”

A few days ago, the Associated Press reported in a report that another immediate priority that is now on the agenda of the outgoing Joe Biden administration is to obtain Senate confirmation for as many judges as possible nominated for federal court positions before the start of the Trump administration. It is on January 20.

Donald Trump has asked congressional Republicans to oppose the Biden administration’s efforts to get approval for judicial options in the courts.

In a post on the X social network on November 10th, before congressional Republicans chose their new leaders after winning the November 5th election, he wrote: “No judge should be approved for the remainder of the term of Congress because “Democrats want to forcefully approve their judges while the Republicans are busy with the leadership.”
