Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : The House voted for that measure only after Trump won the Nov. 5 election, when it was clear the Republican president could appoint the first 25 new judges.
59% : The Republican-led House Judiciary Committee on a nearly party-line 16-11 vote signed off on a re-introduced version, opens new tab of the JUDGES Act that, if passed, would usher in the first major expansion of the federal judiciary since 1990.
38% : Trump made 234 judicial appointments during his first term in office, including three members of the U.S. Supreme Court's 6-3 conservative majority, and is expected even without the JUDGES Act to appoint over 100 more in his second term.
35% : He said even if Trump had the power to name the first 25 judges, his ability to do so would be restricted since the majority were in states with Democratic senators, who could wield "blue slips" to block him from appointing conservative judges in their home states they did not support.
27% : A U.S. House of Representatives panel advanced a bill on Wednesday to add 66 new judges to understaffed federal courts nationwide, reviving a measure former President Joe Biden in one of his final acts vetoed as Democrats began balking at giving Donald Trump the ability to appoint additional judges.
25% : Representative Jamie Raskin, the panel's top Democrat, said that while he agreed the courts needed more judges, he could not support giving Trump more influence over the courts and that Democrats would only support the bill if his ability to do so was eliminated.
