                          Judicial Nominations

  Finally, very quickly, on judges. Mr. President, here is a number 
that everyone watching the work of the Senate should take note of: 28.
  That is the number of Federal judges that, after yesterday's 
confirmations of Beth Robinson and Toby Heytens, the Senate has 
confirmed in a time of 9 months since President Biden took the oath of 
office: 28 judges--19 to serve on district courts, 9 to serve as 
appellate judges.
  And the vast majority of these new judges are people of color, a 
majority of them being women, and many from backgrounds that have long 
been overlooked in selection of our Nation's judges.
  This is more judges put in this period of time, the first year--the 
first 9 months of the President's--10 months of the President's first 
term--than has happened in a very long time.
