Republicans confirming Trump's court nominees at record pace
The Hill, May 1, 2018, Jordain Carney

Senate Republicans are poised to confirm more of President Trump’s nominees to appeals courts next week, putting Trump on pace to have more of those nominees approved in the first two years of his tenure than any other recent president.

It’s the latest milestone for GOP senators who have worked frantically to confirm nominees to the key bench, where judges have played crucial roles in cases involving controversial issues like the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program and Trump’s travel ban.

Republicans were already setting a record pace for circuit court picks, breaking a record in December for the most confirmed during a president’s first year and confirming Trump’s 15th appeals court nominee late last month.

Now they’re poised to confirm, as soon as next week, more circuit nominees for Trump than President Obama, President George W. Bush or President Clinton got confirmed by the end of their second year in office.

The "pace" ain't good enough.
Go faster.

It is good enough and it is, in fact, great.  If Trump could manage to reform the courts, much of which is still Obama appointees, it would be a good and lasting accomplishment.

The Senate needs to step up to and stay at the plate!
