Senate Republicans are trying to change Senate rules to confirm district court nominees with far less time for debate on their records and fitness for the bench
Republicans claim they must change the rules because Democrats are obstructing nominees. This is false. The Senate has confirmed far more nominees in President Trump’s first two years than it did in President Obama’s first two years. 
Not only have a large number President Trump’s nominees been confirmed, but they’ve been confirmed twice as fast as President Obama’s were. This rules change is merely the latest attempt to stack the federal bench with young, conservative ideologues.
