Democratic leadership is urging members to vote against a bipartisan bill to create federal judgeships, fearing it could allow Trump to appoint conservative judges.
The JUDGES Act proposes 63 judgeships over ten years, but Democrats worry about the implications under a future Trump administration, particularly regarding conservative appointments.
House Minority Whip Katherine Clark's office communicated that Democrats should recognize the significance of empty judgeships under a potential Trump presidency, encouraging a 'no' vote.
With the bill passed unanimously in the Senate prior to the election, its timing and the upcoming vote in the House reflect partisan tensions regarding judicial appointments.
