President-elect Trump is demanding that Senate Republicans show up and try to stop Democrats from confirming more judges. Why it matters: President Biden is now 15 judicial confirmations away from the record set by Trump in his first term. Trump posted Wednesday on "X": "The Democrats are trying to stack the Courts with Radical Left Judges on their way out the door. Republican Senators need to Show Up and Hold the Line — No more Judges confirmed before Inauguration Day!"Democrats confirmed two more judges on Wednesday by 50-48 margins, with Republican Sens. Ted Cruz (Texas) and Mike Braun (Indiana) missing the votes.If they'd voted, Vice President Harris would have been unavailable to break the 50-50 tie as she's currently vacationing in Hawaii."I am very angry – 90% of success in life is showing up," Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) told reporters."I've got a 4th Circuit nominee that if my colleagues show up on my side I've secured Democratic votes to defeat. That is very personal to me," he said."I had a member ask me, 'Well, when is the vote?' I said, 'When you're not here,'" Tillis told reporters.Zoom in: Senate Republicans, including incoming Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) are in a showdown over judges with outgoing Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.).Thune unveiled a plan Monday to aggressively defend against Biden's final nominees, Axios has reported.Schumer is prepared to grind through that defense with late night and weekend votes.

“No more Judges confirmed before Inauguration Day!” Trump said on social media. But Democrats are making judges a priority in the lame duck ― just like the GOP did, too.
11/19/2024 --axios
A fight over judges is serving as incoming Senate GOP leader John Thune's (R-S.D.) first showdown against Democratic leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.).Why it matters: Schumer is racing to jam through dozens of President Biden's judicial confirmations before the end of the year to break Sen. Mitch McConnell's (R-Ky.) record during the first Trump administration. Thune personally presented a plan for an aggressive defense against Biden's last batches of judicial nominees during a regular leadership meeting Monday night, sources familiar told Axios.It's Thune's first big moment since being elected to serve as the next GOP leader.It's also sure to please some conservatives whose support he needed to get his leadership bid across the finish line — senators very familiar with procedural protest tactics.Zoom in: That led to the Senate floor staying open past midnight as Republicans forced procedural votes to drag out the confirmation process.Republicans are mad at Schumer for prioritizing judges over other must-pass legislation like the Farm Bill, defense authorization and appropriations.President-elect Trump is egging on the fight, demanding Republicans prevent new judicial confirmations ahead of his inauguration.🚪 Behind closed doors, Republican vs. Republican frustrations bubbled over Tuesday after missed votes that helped Schumer move forward on the nominations.Vice President-elect Vance (R-Ohio), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Mike Braun (R-Ind.) were specifically called out, sources in the room told Axios.Vance defended himself in a since-deleted post on X by saying even if he had shown up to vote Monday night, it would not have changed the outcome.Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), ranking member of the Judiciary Committee, took point in urging colleagues not to skip inconvenient votes in case no-shows and a slim majority during the lame-duck session end up working in Democrats' favor.🔥 Zoom out: Look for Schumer to consider repaying the favor next year when it's time to confirm Trump's nominees.Schumer and Democrats ground through GOP stall tactics Monday night into Tuesday and are expected to continue to do so.Schumer has dozens of federal judges he can tee up for floor votes over the next few weeks, and the Senate Judiciary Committee will put even more in the pipeline each Thursday.The bottom line: Schumer has confirmed 217 federal judges under the Biden administration. He is 18 short of matching the 234 confirmed by McConnell.

Indiana lawmakers didn't move on with marijuana reform in the interim session, but Democratic gubernatorial nominee Jennifer McCormick has a different stance on the cannabis legalization issue. If elected governor in the general election this November, she would work on setting up a medical cannabis industry as a step toward legalization of recreational marijuana, reported Indiana Capital Chronicle."Across the state, Terry (Goodin) and I are hearing Hoosiers who are ready for Indiana to take this step," McCormick said during a press conference on Thursday. "We're on an island. All the states around us are ... at some level, legalizing marijuana, and have benefited in several ways. And so it is time for Indiana to join in on this policy."McCormick's opponent, Republican Mike Braun, said earlier this year that some form ...Full story available on Benzinga.com
