Sen. Mike Lee is telling the Senate to move fast on every Donald Trump judicial and federal nominee, even if it means burning weekends or cutting into holidays. The argument rests on a hard deadline: after noon on January 3rd when Democrats take control, nothing moves. You can't just hand those wins over. The American people fought hard for a Trump victory in 2024 and we still hold dual majorities including the Senate for the next eight weeks. There is no choice but to give President Trump the runway to staff his administration and federal courts properly. That includes 25 nominated federal judges and 161 total nominations under Trump that need clearing before waiting becomes impossible if Democrats gain control.
