Mike Davis writes for the Federalist about a current dispute over the outgoing president’s judicial nominees.

On Tuesday, President-Elect Donald Trump posted on Truth Social: “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!” Trump will pile up many accomplishments in his second term, but the most consequential will be his improvement upon his already historic transformation of the federal judiciary.

Trump achieved an extraordinary victory this election: he joined Grover Cleveland as the only person to win non-consecutive terms as president. He won more votes — both popular and electoral — than in either of his first two runs. As of the most recent count, he improved his performance in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. He defeated Vice President Kamala Harris, the Obamas, the Clintons, and, of course, President Joe Biden, the mastermind of the lawfare designed to take out Trump. The lawfare effort has also fizzled; indeed, Jack Smith is now winding down the phony federal cases against Trump.Unfortunately, we need to wait two months before Trump assumes office. In the meantime, Democrats control the Senate, and Biden has sent up a slew of hardcore leftist nominees who will produce harmful rulings for decades if they receive lifetime appointments. Even after the election, Biden announced his intent to nominate Tali Farhadian Weinstein to a district court seat in New York. This awful nominee believes, among other things, that noncitizens should be able to vote in elections.

The main problem: Only a majority of senators would be necessary to confirm Biden’s horrible nominees. Democrats have that, in part, thanks to lame ducks like vanquished Sens. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, Jon Tester, D-Montana, and election denier Bob Casey, D-Penn., who has not conceded to Dave McCormick despite the Associated Press calling the race well over a week ago. There is at least some question about whether independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona will go along with this, and independent Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia said he will support nominees as long as they have one GOP vote.
