Republicans Aim To Jump-Start Judicial Confirmation Push After Recent Lag | The Daily Caller:

The renomination effort is supplemented by a $1.5 million national and digital ad buy from the Judicial Crisis Network (JCN), a conservative advocacy group that organized and messages on judicial nominations.
“Because of Democrats’ unprecedented obstruction of judicial nominees we now have significantly more vacancies than when President Trump took office,” said Carrie Severino, JCN’s chief counsel. “Senator McConnell has restated his commitment to filling the vacancies and has maintained that this is a Senate priority. It’s time for Democrats to end the bullying and smear campaigns and confirm the judges.”
The Senate has confirmed 53 district judges, 30 appeals judges and two Supreme Court justices since Trump took office.
