And Law.com has Progressive Groups Pressure Democrats to Move Faster on Judicial Vacancies, which begins: "The clock is ticking for the White House and Democrats to fill 119 current and future judicial vacancies (more than half of which don’t have nominees) before the midterm elections in November, when Republicans could take control of the Senate." The piece also notes:
