Genuinely asking, is having her as a federal judge better than having her continue to litigate cases? The article even says she’s unlikely to see many of more important cases due to her representing a rather liberal district.
Federal rulings set a legal precedent and can then be used in future rulings. So all of her court decisions can/will be used in the future to convince judges to make similar rulings.
It depends. For example, depending on the situation, one could shop for them as a specific judge. That’s a really unfair and immoral thing to do though, so nobody does that…
Wouldn’t this at least advance her career for a possible SCOTUS nomination?
Judges have way more power than lawyers. The more sane, liberal judges we have is very good for our democracy.
I forgot this was a thing! hope it doesn’t happen.
Good
Fucking finally confirming judges again
