POTUS will need the Senate to significantly increase its commitment and prioritization of the courts to fill all vacancies. The Senate can immediately demonstrate its commitment in this regard by eliminating the blue slip tradition that is ripe for abuse.🧵 @acslaw #courtsmatter

.@RonaldKlain@twitter.com proved that Democratic administrations can get things done legislatively AND prioritize appointing incredible federal judges.

I hope his tenure as -- and this model of -- @WHCOS@twitter.com is an example for all future Democratic admins, including Biden's. #CourtsMatter

We should be very concerned about what the Supreme Court will do in the 303 Creative case, but not just because of how it could set back LGBTQ+ equality. It could set back all civil rights for all protected groups. #CourtsMatter

Confirming fed judges is among the most influential actions the Senate can take during the lame-duck session. Senators should vote on at least 30 judicial nominees before the new Congress begins on Jan. 3.

I am 71 years old which means I couldn’t vote until 1971 when the 26th amendment lowered the voting age. It would be shameless hyperbole to say that this is the most important # election ever. But democracy is on the line for sure and it’s already on life-support in many respects. We cannot afford to stop progress in the Senate on confirming diverse judges. We cannot further imperil abortion rights. So go vote and get others to understand what’s at stake. #courtsmatter please share
