Senate Republicans pledge to block fast-tracking of Biden nominees

A group of Sen­ate Repub­li­cans has pledged to block the fast-track­ing of Pres­i­dent Joe Biden’s judi­cial nom­i­nees in response to the Biden administration’s “per­se­cu­tion” of for­mer Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump. 
The group, led by Sen. J.D. Vance (R‑OH), also includes Sens. Mike Lee (R‑UT), Bill Hager­ty (R‑TN), Roger Mar­shall (R‑KS), Tom­my Tuberville (R‑AL), and Eric Schmitt (R‑MO).
The sen­a­tors wrote in a state­ment on Thurs­day that they “will not per­mit the fast-track­ing of nom­i­nees who have sug­gest­ed the Trump pros­e­cu­tions were rea­son­able, endorsed Pres­i­dent Trump’s guilt in these sham pro­ceed­ings, joined or sup­port­ed orga­ni­za­tions that cel­e­brat­ed the indict­ment of Pres­i­dent Trump, sup­port­ed the ‘get-Trump’ can­di­da­cy of Alvin Bragg, or sup­port­ed law­fare or cen­sor­ship in oth­er ways.”
“While it is not our intent to bring any sin­gle nom­i­nee into dis­re­pute, if our rights are chal­lenged on the floor of the U.S. Sen­ate, we will pros­e­cute a force­ful pub­lic case using all the tools at our dis­pos­al,” they added.
