The Judicial Conference of the United States has recommended the creation of 71 new federal judgeships, including two on the Ninth Circuit, to address a worsening shortage of judges amid rising caseloads. This recommendation comes after former President Joe Biden vetoed a bill to add 63 new permanent judgeships over partisan concerns. During a press conference, the Judicial Conference also expressed concerns about judicial security and funding. Judge Richard Sullivan, who chairs the Judicial Conference's committee on judicial security, voiced apprehension about recent articles of impeachment filed against judges who have ruled against the Trump administration's early actions. Judge Jeffrey Sutton, chair of the Judicial Conference's executive committee, added that diluting impeachment standards poses a risk to all three branches of government. Sullivan emphasized that impeachment should not be used to circumvent the appeals process. The Judicial Conference's call for new judgeships aims to alleviate the significant delays and backlog in federal courts, which some judges have described as a 'crisis.' The recommendation for new judgeships is seen as a critical step to ensure the judiciary can handle its increasing workload effectively.

For years covering both Jan 6 cases and the criminal indictments against President Trump, I pleaded for the impeachment of Beryl Howell. She arguably is the most reckless, partisan, vindictive, and lawless judge on the federal bench. Here is Howell in Dec 2023 receiving an… https://t.co/7CsMzQxWka
