Didn't the Democrats just confirm a bunch of judges recently?
Yes, but they cut a deal with the Republicans, who were stalling them with procedural maneuvers that were forcing them to stay late at night, and of course, it's a bad deal. They got seven district court judges approved in exchange for abandoning the appointment of 4 appeals court judges. Appeals court judges are much more powerful, so this wasn't a great move, but now they don't have to stay up past their bedtimes, and they might even get to go on Christmas vacation early.
Yes, but they don't have the best record on the Supreme Court.
