Hi Dan,
I'm writing to you because, as I understand it, a whole suite of candidates nominated for judgeships is currently sitting un-confirmed - apparently, for the simple fact that they were nominated by Joe Biden.
I think we both know that these candidates are highly qualified and hold the shared value of remaining impartial on the bench. I know that if these judges were confirmed, they would fill much-needed vacancies in a judicial system straining under its load - and keep a major component of our government running.
I have to suppose that the reason these judges aren't being confirmed is that the republican leadership plans to allow Donald Trump to nominate his own extremist, highly partisan judges. Not only is this alarming to me given how his nominees on the supreme court have issued opinions over the last few years - it also strikes me as playing games over cheap partisan tricks.
I would hate to think that you're playing a part in these games. You wouldn't put the functioning of our courts in jeop
