Democrats have a tight window to squeeze out every last drop of their power while Joe Biden is still in the White House .

The most obvious thing they can do is confirm more of Biden ’s judges, as these are lifetime posts.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren is already agitating for her party to get moving on this when the Senate comes back into session next week .

Only a handful of GOP senators have consistently voted to confirm at least some of Biden 's court picks.

Biden is winding down his presidency with 213 confirmed lifetime federal judges.

In order to match Trump ’s final number of confirmed judges, Biden would need to confirm 21 more before the year is up.
