He says getting all 152 confirmed would have a major impact on the federal judiciary.
“I think it would be transformative in putting constitutional, rule of law jurists on the bench who will decide cases, not based on partisanship or policy but on what the law says and what the United States Constitution says, which is what the role of the judiciary is and should be,” said Henneke.
He says allowing the backlog to persist would shift from frustrating to disastrous if Democrats win the majority in the midterm elections.
“They don’t get confirmed, and we lose this opportunity for now and for generations to come to have reform of the federal judiciary that’s going to uphold the Constitution and defend the rule of law and that would be catastrophic for the future of our country,” said Henneke.
