President Biden is doing an amazing job of selecting new federal judges
Link to tweet
President Joe Biden on Thursday announced four judicial nominees, including two barrier-breaking nominations of LGBTQ judges, marking his sixth round of judicial nominees since taking office as his administration seeks to maintain a rapid pace of nominations and confirmations.
The new slate includes three nominees to the federal bench and one nominee to the DC Court of Appeals and brings Biden's total to 35 judicial nominees, with the White House touting "unparalleled speed" on the matter.
The White House noted continued diversity in Biden's picks, including Justice Beth Robinson of Vermont, who would be the first LGBTQ woman to serve on a federal circuit court if confirmed by the Senate for the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
US District Court nominee for the District of Colorado Charlotte Sweeney would be the first LGBTQ federal judge in Colorado if confirmed, plus the first LGBTQ woman to serve as a federal district court judge in any state west of the Mississippi River, per the White House.
