According to reporting by Reuters, both Max O. Cogburn Jr. and Algenon L. Marbley have withdrawn their plans to take senior status, illustrating how the political landscape affects judicial continuity.
Though the number of judicial appointees Biden shepherded through the process may ultimately wind up higher than Trump I, Biden abandoned valuable appellate court seats in the process.

We’re left with 74- and 70-year-olds unable to semi-retire lest they see their seats in the hands of judges who would undo their years of work.
