President Biden has vetoed the JUDGES Act, which aimed to create 66 new federal judgeships, citing rushed legislative processes and unresolved allocation issues. Despite bipartisan support, critics argue the veto contributes to rising judicial delays, exacerbating access to justice. Federal judiciary leaders and lawmakers have expressed disappointment, highlighting that the bill would have facilitated much-needed judicial expansion over the next decade. The veto also raises concerns about a potential advantage for President-elect Trump's judicial nominations. Biden's decision suggests that legislative haste led to questions regarding the oversight of judicial vacancies.
