Column | Trump demands the lame-duck president not do what he did as a lame duck The president-elect wants to keep a number of seats in the judiciary unfilled, despite his push to stack the bench after he lost in 2020.

Will Biden/Schumer/Durbin show any sense of urgency in pushing to confirm judges?
