Biden takes heat for vetoing bill that would add new judgeships

^{Published on 2024-12-24 18:00:54 - MSN}

Federal judiciary leadership and some lawmakers are criticizing President Biden for vetoing a bill that would've added 66 new federal judgeships amid growing caseloads. Biden on Monday made good on his promise to veto the JUDGES Act,

President Joe Biden vetoed a bill on March 1, 2023, that aimed to create 12 new federal judgeships, drawing criticism from both sides of the political spectrum. The legislation, which had passed with bipartisan support in Congress, was intended to address the increasing caseload in certain federal district courts. Critics argue that Biden's veto undermines efforts to improve judicial efficiency and access to justice. The White House justified the veto by stating that the bill did not adequately address the need for diversity on the bench or consider the broader implications for the judiciary's structure. This decision has sparked a debate about judicial appointments, the balance of power, and the administration's priorities regarding the federal judiciary.
