“in a few moments, the Senate will confirm Julia Kobick as district judge for the District of Massachusetts. I have great news: The Senate is about to confirm the 100th woman and the 150th judge overall to the Federal bench since we took the majority. One judge at a time, this Democratic majority is making the Federal bench look more like America, and that is why the confirmation of the 100th woman to the court is so important. It is not only double the amount confirmed by President Trump in all his 4 years, it is also considerably more women than any full first term of any President. In fact, two-thirds--two-thirds--of all the judges we have confirmed under President Biden are women, and we have confirmed more women of color to the bench than any other President's entire time in office. These hundred women are historic taken together, but they also include many who are historic in their own right. They include, of course, the first Black woman confirmed to the Supreme Court, Ketanji Brown Jackson. They include the first Muslim-American woman on the Federal bench. They include the first Navajo Federal judge, and much more. We are getting the bench to look like America. It has been long overdue, but it is happening and happening in large steps under this Senate Democratic majority. Now, I want to let America know we are proud to have reached this historic milestone, but we are not slowing down. Confirming more women on the bench is long, long overdue.…”
