Two Judges Could Clear Texas Court Backlog
Description
Two top judicial nominees, John Marck and Arthur Jones, are headed to the full Senate after a party-line Judiciary Committee vote, poised to slash the Southern District of Texas’s crushing case backlog—where judges handle over 700 cases each, nearly double the national average. Confirmation could happen as early as next week, potentially before July’s Senate break, bringing vacancies down to just two and setting the stage for Angela Colmenero’s possible confirmation soon after. This move would restore the district to its lowest vacancy level since the George W. Bush era, reversing years of stalled progress and critical court dysfunction.
