President Biden on Tuesday took a victory lap after the Senate confirmed his 150th judicial nominee since he took office, a significant milestone as the White House seeks to put its stamp on the judiciary.

Biden in a statement called it “one of the great responsibilities” for a president to appoint federal judges.

“They oversee cases in which workers fight for safe conditions. They ensure trials are fair and efficient, helping our criminal justice system function. And they issue rulings on fundamental rights — from the right to vote to women’s reproductive rights,” Biden said.

Biden: ~218 judges per term
Trump: 245 judges per term
Obama: 167 judges per term
W Bush: 170 judges per term
Clinton: 193.5 judges per term
H.W. Bush: 197 judges per term
Reagan: 201 judges per term
Carter: 262 judges per term
Ford: ~74 judges per term
Nixon: ~205 judges per term

Of this entire list he's only behind Trump and Carter.
