Latest Biden veto proves he isn't going to make things easy for Trump
President Joe Biden on Monday vetoed a bill that would have allowed Donald Trump to stack federal district courts with dozens of new judges. It’s the latest move by the outgoing president to block Trump from imposing his ruinous will on the country.
The bill, titled the JUDGES Act of 2024, would have created 66 new judgeships over the next 10 years, with Trump getting as many as 25 of those new judicial seats to fill, according to Rep. Jerry Nadler, a New York Democrat and the ranking member on the House Judiciary Committee.
In a statement, Biden said he vetoed the legislation because it is unclear "how the new judgeships are allocated.” Biden added that the bill would have rewarded the Republican senators who purposefully blocked his judicial nominations.
“Those efforts to hold open vacancies suggest that concerns about judicial economy and caseload are not the true motivating force behind passage of this bill now,” Biden wrote.
