The Senate confirmed on Sept. 11 that under President Donald Trump there have been 150 new judicial appointments. The Senate confirmed six more appeals court nominees on Wednesday, including two who were first nominated by Barack Obama.

“I’m very pleased that the Senate has confirmed 150 federal judges thus far in President Trump’s first term," Senator Lindsey Graham said in a statement after the final vote on the Senate floor. “This is a historic milestone. These conservative judicial appointments will impact our nation for years to come.”
