This is not good…
If you thought President Trump installed Federal Judges at a fast clip (and he did), his pace is currently being eclipsed by Biden and that is not good!
Of course the MSM is fawning over how “diverse” the group is too:

NPR reports on the exact figures:
President Biden has gotten a group of 40 federal judges confirmed in the Senate this year, the most for a new president since the Reagan era — and he’s prioritizing diversity among his nominees for these life-tenured posts.
Biden’s nominees include the first openly LGBTQ woman to sit on a federal appeals court, Beth Robinson of Vermont, and the first Muslim American to be a judge, Zahid Quraishi of New Jersey. Biden has also named more Black women to circuit courts, many of them former public defenders, than any other president.
“Really, President Biden is going above and beyond and setting new, historic trends for what our judiciary can and should look like,” said Christopher Kang, chief counsel at the group Demand Justice, which advocates for court reform and progressive-leaning judges.
The effort to identify judge candidates started a year ago, even before Biden took the oath of office. Then-incoming White House counsel Dana Remus wrote to Democratic senators and urged them to cast a wide net and look beyond the prosecutors and corporate lawyers who populate most of the federal bench.

In a rare interview, Remus told NPR that the outreach is starting to get to a wider audience.
“I’m hopeful it’s inspiring law students and younger lawyers as well to think ahead,” Remus said.

Former President Donald Trump’s 226 judges were overwhelmingly white and male. A new analysis concluded that nearly 75% of Biden’s picks have been women, and nearly 65% have been people of color, according to Alliance for Justice, a liberal coalition that works on court and judicial issues.
And if you can stomach it, here they are discussing the “record-breaking” pace:
