Nearly a year after April Perry was nominated to be Chicago’s first female U.S. attorney, President Joe Biden has changed tack in the face of blanket opposition from a single Republican senator and he is instead naming Perry a federal judge for the Northern District of Illinois.
Meanwhile, the search for Lausch’s replacement will likely have to begin anew and almost certainly won’t be decided until after the 2024 presidential election in November. Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, who chairs the Judiciary Committee, has repeatedly called on Vance to end his unprecedented blockade, which Durbin says goes against decades of Senate tradition to confirm such nominees on a bipartisan basis by unanimous consent.
Vance has held firm even though, as Durbin has often pointed out, he has campaigned on a strong law-and-order platform. In remarks on the Senate floor last September, Vance agreed his hold policy put the Senate in a “unique circumstance,” but said the political times were also unique.
