President Biden is nominating more judicial nominees as Democrats try to undo Trump s legacy in courtrooms around the country.
The Trump administration was able to appoint more than 200 federal judges in just four years. Josh Blackman at the South Texas College of Law Houston says Democrats will probably get nowhere close.
“The lower courts, the Democrats have a very slight majority in the Senate, so they ll be able to fill a lot of the vacancies in the courts of appeal and the district courts,” he says. “It s going to be a little trickier though with the Supreme Court, because they ll need a vacancy to arise and it s not clear there will be a vacancy right away.”

Election integrity remains a top priority in Austin where state lawmakers continue to push legislation to tighten up the process and increase the punishment for violators.
One is House Bill 6, which aims to prevent fraud, while increasing criminal penalties. Jonathan White, head of the election fraud division at the Texas AG s Office, recently told lawmakers his office is currently handling a record number of cases.
“Our cases are currently at an all-time high,” he told the House Elections Committee this month. “We have 510 offenses pending against 43 defendants in court right now.”
“We have a lot of mail ballot fraud cases and that universe is pretty small around that case. That investigation is pretty straight forward. But vote harvesting touches an entire community of senior citizens across multiple individuals working in an organization, sometimes in different layers.”

More “white supremacist” violence against Asians committed by non-whites.
Wild video out of Oakland shows a group robbing two seniors when they are chased away by their machete-wielding son. Speaking to ABC7 News anchor Dion Lim, the son, who does not want to be identified or share publicly the neighborhood where this incident happened said the group of men approached his parents on their front porch after they had come home from grocery shopping Monday, March 29 at around 4:30.
In addition to grabbing the gold chain from off his mother s neck, you can see the robbers reach into his father s pockets to take a cell phone and keys.
