                          Judicial Nominations

  Mr. President, finally, on nominations, today, the Senate will 
continue processing more of President Biden's outstanding nominees. 
This morning the Senate will vote on cloture on the nomination of Judge 
Sanket Bulsara to serve as a district judge in the Eastern District of 
New York. I was proud to push President Biden to nominate this amazing 
New Yorker and exceptionally qualified legal mind.
  Judge Bulsara made history in 2017 as the first South Asian-American 
judge to serve in any court within the Second Circuit when he was 
appointed magistrate judge for the Eastern District. New York's South 
Asian population is one of the fastest growing in our State and in our 
country. So I am proud to support Judge Bulsara because he will make 
our courts a better reflection of the communities they serve.
  And, once confirmed, Judge Bulsara will represent a milestone for the 
Senate. He will be the 195th--the 195th--judge confirmed by this body 
since President Biden took office, and we are going to keep going. 
Americans deserve jurists they can trust to be fair, to be qualified, 
and who will appreciate the human impact of their decisions. Judge 
Bulsara perfectly fits that noble idea.
  I yield the floor.
