Cory Booker, this you?
Booker isn’t the only New Jersey senator making odd choices in nominating judges. Senior Sen. Bob Menendez has managed only slightly better:of his four recommendations for judicial appointments was not a corporate lawyer or former prosecutor, but the other three picks were even more fiercely criticized than the appointments of his junior colleague.
Even more confounding is the fact that Booker is not bound by political calculus. New Jersey is as true-blue as a state can be, with two Democratic senators, a state Democratic trifecta , and a state Democratic triplex .
Getting Booker on board with Biden’s signature accomplishment will be even more important in the coming term. With Republicans taking hold of the House and already expressing a level of truculence that makes any sort of bipartisan legislation unlikely, confirming judges will be one of the few places where there’s meaningful action on Capitol Hill in the coming years.Another consequential New Jersey–area judicial vacancy is expected to be decided on soon.
