Editorial: The New York Times

• Presidential immunity from criminal prosecution does not mean that their actions are always lawful or constitutional.
• It's crucial that President Biden and Senate Democrats confirm as many judges as possible in the coming weeks.
• In contrast to Trump's approach, the judges appointed by prior presidents have focused on protecting democratic rights.
• Trump's judicial nominations were predominantly pushed by conservative groups.
• Trump's pressure on Congress to create more judgeships may result in bypassing the confirmation process.
• Republican senators who yield to Trump's demands should remember they will not always hold power.
• Republican opposition has slowed down the process of filling vacant Senate posts.

Conclusion: It's crucial that Democrats push forward in filling the remaining vacancies, it's their most important task in the last days of the 118th Congress.
