Senate Confirms Trumps 100th Judicial Nominee

(The Hill) Senate Republicans this week confirmed President Trumps 100th judicial nominee. The milestone marks the latest victory for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) who views the courts as the partys best shot at having a long-term impact on the direction of the country and who has made confirming Trumps picks a top priority. After studying and considering these nominees the Senate will keep on filing judicial vacancies. Well keep confirming the presidents team McConnell said taking a victory lap ahead of the Senates action. The Senate on Thursday confirmed Rodolfo Armando Ruiz II to be a judge for the Southern District of Florida marking Trumps 100th judicial pick. Lawmakers quickly followed with back-to-back votes on Ral Arias-Marxuach to be judge for the district of Puerto Rico and Joshua Wolson to be a judge for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania giving Trump his 101st and 102nd judicial confirmations.
