Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) is frustrated that Democrats are using the lame duck to confirm lots of President Joe Biden's judges.

Republicans don’t have the votes to stop Biden ’s nominees from advancing, so they dragged out the process by hours , forcing time-consuming votes on otherwise routine procedural steps.

Even President-elect Donald Trump vented on social media about Democrats still confirming Biden 's nominees.

As of Tuesday night , the Senate had confirmed 217 of Biden ’s judges since he took office.

There are 26 more judicial nominees awaiting Senate action, of which 22 are district court nominees and four are appeals court nominees.

If Democrats are able to confirm all of them before Congress adjourns for the year , that would put Biden 's total number of lifetime federal judges at 243 .
