The Senate Judiciary Committee recently advanced several judicial nominees, marking significant progress under President Biden's administration. Notably, Judge Melissa DuBose's nomination to serve on the U.S. District Court for Rhode Island was advanced on a 12-9 bipartisan vote, highlighting her qualifications and bipartisan support. Additionally, Judge Sunil Harjani's nomination for the federal bench in Illinois was also moved forward. These advancements contribute to over 200 lifetime judges nominated by President Biden being advanced to the full Senate, aiming for a fairer and more balanced judicial system. Amidst these confirmations, controversy surrounds nominee Adeel Mangi, facing opposition due to his affiliations and the subject of Islamophobic attacks, despite his qualifications. The committee's actions reflect an effort to diversify U.S. trial courts significantly, with nominees for the District of Columbia, Rhode Island, and Virginia being advanced.

The lasting impact of President Biden’s judicial nominees is astounding. These 182 judges will be lifelong arbiters of justice and ensure a fair justice system for all.
We cannot continue to have long judicial vacancies define the D.C. court system. Justice delayed is justice denied – and after one such delay of almost 3 years, this week I was proud to cast my vote to confirm Judge Adrienne Noti to the D.C. Superior Court.

The Senate unanimously confirmed Judge Kelly Rankin as U.S. District Court Judge for Wyoming. Judge Rankin’s roots in our great state run deep. His impressive record and knowledge of the law will make him a great member of the federal bench. https://t.co/BCQWxvLWvQ

. @LeaderMcConnell: Biden Trying To Appoint Judge Tied To ‘Extremist Group That Unabashedly Celebrates Terrorism’ What does it say about President Biden and Senate Democrats that Adeel Mangi is the type of nominee they’re desperate to make a federal judge?https://t.co/470K9dhfMo
This is why it was so important for Trump to get three justices on the court. https://t.co/HxkebvpMN3
Mr. Mangi—nominated to be a U.S. Circuit Judge for the 3rd Circuit—is a highly qualified nom w/ a wealth of litigation experience. Nevertheless, Senate Rs have subjected Mr. Mangi to blatantly Islamophobic attacks. I urge my colleagues to support his nom. https://t.co/pR4NZiQGye
NEW: Internal Rutgers emails obtained by @dcexaminer provide a glimpse into Biden judicial nominee Adeel Mangi's key role at a 2022 Muslim lawyers event sponsored by Hamas allies and the terror-tied Council on American-Islamic Relations — a recent foe of the Biden White House🧵 https://t.co/HNKIMXsaCR
🚨WH in panic mode over radical judicial nominee Adeel Mangi: “The White House is in overdrive to save a Biden judicial nominee who has served on the boards of an anti-Israel think tank and a group that wants to free convicted cop-killers from prison.” https://t.co/bJMEWqFhw2
And one of these confirmations was for Rhode Island’s own Judge DuBose! She was confirmed with bipartisan support — a testament to her professionalism, intelligence, and integrity. I look forward to a swift confirmation by the full Senate. https://t.co/qqLwBJGGI0
