I am happily stunned.  This is great news!!

There's a big push on to fill as many vacancies as possible before the end of the year.

I hope they keep it up!

They better, if they want their contracts renewed in 2020.  In 2018 the Senate will be competing with the House impeachment of the President for show time.  The impeachment could focus the nations attention, overpowering less interesting story lines.  It could be a defining story arc.  I wouldn't look for a lot of legislation getting passed next season, but the ratings will be yuge!

Senate confirms 15 more judges, wrapping up a GOP priority
Associated Press, Oct 11, 2018

The Senate confirmed 15 more judges late Thursday, all but wrapping up its pre-election work on a top Republican priority days after Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court.

Clearing the judicial nominees provided a signature walk-off for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who has focused on reshaping the judiciary with more conservative judges. Once final action was finished later Thursday evening, senators were not expected back to session full-time until after the November election.

While many of the judges were approved with bipartisan support, almost half were confirmed on mostly party-line votes. Democratic opponents and their allies swiftly objected to some of the nominees, in large part over views aligned with stricter abortion access.

“Make no mistake, today was yet another step in the GOP’s takeover of our courts, stacking the deck against women and families at every level,” Ilyse Hogue, the president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, said after the votes. She said the back-to-back votes coming so soon after Kavanaugh’s confirmation were especially painful.

Singled out for opposition were David Porter, who was confirmed as a circuit court judge in Pennsylvania over the objection of that state’s Democratic Sen. Bob Casey, and Mark Norris, confirmed as a district court judge for the Western district of Tennessee.

Underscoring liberal anger over Trump’s conservative judicial nominees, People for the American Way criticized them as “ideological extremists and narrow minded elitists.”

The group also chided Democrats for not delaying the votes, saying, “Allowing these confirmations to be rushed through as senators head out of town does a disservice to our democracy and the rule of law.”
