Article analysis:
The article is generally reliable and trustworthy in its reporting on President Joe Biden’s judicial appointments and the Senate’s confirmation process for them. The article provides a clear overview of the number of judges appointed by Biden compared to his predecessors, noting that he has surpassed their pace with 105 confirmations so far. It also provides detailed information about the demographic makeup of these appointees, noting that more than three-quarters are women and more than two-thirds are non-white. Furthermore, it highlights how Biden’s choices for the judiciary stretch beyond prosecutors to include public defenders, civil rights attorneys and more.
The article does not appear to be biased or one-sided in its reporting; it presents both sides of the issue fairly by noting both Democrats’ celebration of increased representation among judges and conservatives’ argument that personal backgrounds should not be emphasized when selecting judges because it risks tainting how their decisions are viewed. Additionally, it cites data from Pew Research Center to provide further context on Black female judges who have been confirmed to federal appellate courts before Biden took office.
The only potential issue with this article is that it does not explore counterarguments or present any evidence for some of its claims; for example, there is no evidence provided to support the claim that “Biden is currently pacing ahead of his three immediate predecessors” or that “Biden is not on track to outpace President Trump’s overall rate” when it comes to appointing federal judges. However, this lack of evidence does not significantly detract from the overall reliability and trustworthiness of the article since these claims are supported by other sources cited in the article (e.g., Heritage Foundation).
