      .@RepJerryNadler is up next, focusing on the 52 new judgeships that are also in the bill: "Trump is packing the court with extremist judges & outsourcing the process to @fedsoc & @Heritage." [My stars!] FTC has asked that the judgeships be phased in over 3 to 7 years

      .@RepJerryNadler: "Nearly every single one of Trump's nominees has been male & white. [...] Given the current administration that is seeking to pack the federal courts, a more reasonable approach would be to delay implementation" of the new judgeships

          If there weren't enough things going on today (Kavanaugh QFR out, Kavanaugh vote postponed, HJC courts bill markup), the Judicial Conference had its semiannual meeting today. If there's an any intel to be gotten, we'll post it here.

          We're back! @repraskin offers a slightly altered amendment, whereby bill would take effect 1/22/21 (earlier amendment was 1/21/21). This amendment is agreed to - must've been some behind-the-scenes convos during cmte recess to get Rs on board, or there's still more to come on it

          Replying to @FixTheCourt @RepRaskin

          Remember when Dems changed the rules that in a presidential election, a President should name a nominee to the Court ... what goes around comes around.
