President Biden vetoed the bipartisan JUDGES Act, which aimed to expand the federal judiciary by 66 judgeships over ten years. The bill's passage was delayed by House Republicans until after the 2016 election, raising accusations of political maneuvering. Biden cited concerns about the rushed process and the need for further study, despite widespread support for the bill in the Senate and criticism of the veto from various sources. While Biden signed a separate bill creating permanent judgeships, it's considered insufficient to address the growing caseloads. Overriding the veto is deemed improbable due to a lack of sufficient support in Congress.
