Senate Judiciary votes to create dozens of new federal judgeships
The Washington Briefs blog reports:
This morning the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 14-5 to approve a bill that would create dozens of new federal judgeships for the first time since 1990.
The bill would add 38 district court judgeships and 12 circuit court judgeships.
A full breakdown of where the judgeships would go is here.
Not surprisingly, California will get the most.
