President Joe Biden has announced a series of judicial nominations, including a notable LGBTQ labor lawyer confirmed for an appeals court seat and a top federal prosecutor from Memphis, Tennessee, for the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, facing swift opposition from one of the state's Republican senators. These nominations are part of Biden's ongoing efforts to reshape the federal circuit courts. Additionally, a current U.S. attorney has been tapped for a Sixth Circuit seat, and another federal prosecutor is up for a judgeship in the Southern District of New York. A new nominee to the Chicago-based 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, facing scrutiny from Senate Republicans over one of the largest case backlogs, has also been announced.
