Hi,
Time is running out on at least 57 Biden judicial nominees^1 — who must be
confirmed before the end of the year. A slew of other important Biden
nominees remain on hold as well, votes delayed by right-wing extremists
like Senator Josh Hawley.^2
The Senate must act quickly to overcome institutional obstacles and
stalling by the Senate GOP to confirm Biden’s judges ASAP.
[ [link removed] ]Take action now and urge your U.S. Senators to confirm Biden’s judges
and other nominations immediately. These confirmations take time and they
MUST happen before the end of the year.

Over decades, Republicans have focused on overhauling America’s courts to
make them more conservative. And in many ways, they’ve succeeded,
especially with the right-wing decisions of the Supreme Court. President
Biden has been able to put a dent in the conservative project by securing
the appointment of more than 80 judges.^3
But Mitch McConnell, Ted Cruz, and Hawley are doing what they can to stall
confirmations for Biden’s judges and other nominations to important
government agencies, like Gigi Sohn to the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) — Sohn could break the tie on the FCC and save net
neutrality.^4 Hawley is helping to delay nominees like Biden’s choice for
the top Pentagon watchdog — we need these roles filled now.^5
The GOP will do everything it can to block Biden’s nominees and that’s why
the Senate must move quickly to confirm Biden’s judges and other important
nominees. We need Biden’s 50+ judges confirmed and on the courts
immediately.
