Will it be the last? The “judges” ignite a battle between Biden and the House of Representatives

On Thursday, the US House of Representatives approved the addition of 66 new judges to expand the number of federal district judges across the country.
Uncertainty surrounds the future of the decision; Given that Republicans did not choose to put the measure to a vote until after President-elect Donald Trump won a second term.
The legislation expands the creation of new lower court judges over more than a decade to give 3 presidential administrations and 6 parliaments the opportunity to appoint new judges.

Formation of the federal judiciary

The draft law was carefully prepared so as not to intentionally give representatives an advantage to either political party when it comes to forming the federal judiciary.
The Senate approved the measure unanimously last August, but the Republican-led House of Representatives did not put it to a vote until after the election results were known.

The bill was passed by 236 votes to 173 votes on Thursday, with the vast majority of Democrats opposed.

Biden uses his veto

The White House said last Tuesday that if the bill is presented to President Joe Biden, he will veto it.
This would likely kill the bill in the current Congress, because repealing it would require approval by a two-thirds majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
The House of Representatives vote on Thursday was much less than that. Rep. Darrell Issa, a Republican from California, the sponsor of the House version of the bill, apologized to his colleagues “for the hour we took for something we should have done before the midterm elections.”

“But the situation has become the same now,” Isa said, warning that failure to pass the bill would lead to a greater backlog of cases.
He explained that these cases will already cost American companies billions of dollars, and force prosecutors to obtain more plea agreements from criminal defendants.
But Democrats said GOP leaders broke the central agreement on the bill because they chose not to put it to a vote before the election.
