(FreePressBeacon.com) – In a sneaky lame-duck act by Joe Biden seemingly made out of fear of Donald Trump, the outgoing president has vetoed the federal judges’ expansion bill, striking a significant blow to the Trump administration’s hopes of filling these key judicial roles.

Critics suggest this move is rooted in Biden’s desire to block former President Trump’s influence on the judiciary.
Biden vetoed legislation proposing 66 new federal district judgeships, a measure seen as necessary by bipartisan supporters to prevent political imbalance in the judiciary.
However, his decision has raised eyebrows about its real motivations.
The veto challenges Trump’s opportunity to make substantial judicial appointments, reflecting a strategic maneuver in the political power game.
This legislation, now shelved, was initially a bipartisan effort.
Yet, concerns about “life-tenured” positions and the allocation of new roles led Biden to reject the bill.
Organizations for judges and attorneys highlighted ongoing delays in courtroom proceedings, stressing the urgent need for more appointments to enhance case resolutions and access to justice.
Despite these urgencies, Biden emphasized that more study is needed on the roles of senior judges before creating permanent positions.
The proposed act planned to add judges in stages through 2035, a move that some interpreted as a political strategy by Republicans following Trump’s reelection.
Biden’s veto requires a two-thirds majority vote in both the House and Senate to overturn—an unlikely outcome.
The bill’s postponement limits Trump’s presidential influence on future judiciary appointments and signals Democrats’ intent to curb further rightward shifts in the federal judiciary.
Biden contends with accusations of strategic obstructionism, aiming to maintain a balance of power until trustworthy, bipartisan discussions occur.
For conservatives, this veto is a frustrating roadblock to necessary judicial reforms that could preserve American freedoms and traditional values.
Biden’s action, part of his extensive list of vetoes, indicates his administration’s stance on limiting Trump’s influence.
The political fight over the judiciary continues, prompting speculation about the potential long-term effects on the nation’s courts and justice system.
The debate on judicial expansion amid Biden’s decision underscores the ongoing power struggle impacting America’s judicial landscape.
As Democrats and Republicans wrestle for control, the direction of future legal proceedings remains uncertain.
