I hope some of them are old (R) judges, but I don't suppose that would happen... But at least we can get some young (D) in place so they will be there for a while...

Pentagon halts Trump appointments to advisory boardsThe Pentagon has suspended the processing of a number of former President Donald Trump’s last-minute appointees to defense advisory boards as the new administration looks to weed out loyalists to the former president.
The move effectively prevents a number of Trump allies, including his 2016 campaign manager Corey Lewandoski and deputy campaign manager David Bossie, from actually serving on panels tasked with providing advice to the defense secretary, at least for the time being.
The news came in an email to advisory board members on Wednesday. The message was obtained by POLITICO and confirmed by two people familiar with the discussions.
The effort is aimed at scrubbing the members of the advisory boards “to determine if appointments were politically motivated vice professionally made,” said one of the people.

New polling shows overwhelming support for Biden's vision of unity, rejection of GOP obstructionPresident Biden's unity pitch has gained steam since November, with fully 71% of Americans saying they would rather see Republicans in Congress find ways to work together with Biden instead of focusing on keeping him in check (25%).
The new finding from a Monmouth University poll shows a notable nine-point increase in the public's thirst for Republican cooperation with Biden since just after the November election when 62% said the same. But perhaps more importantly, the widespread support for GOP lawmakers working with the president to tackle problems suggests that Biden's unity push is very much in sync with the public. Biden recently clarified that to him, unity meant coalescing around what a majority of Americans think will improve their lives, but not necessarily securing Republican votes for those policies. In short, it's about the public, not the lawmakers.
“If you pass a piece of legislation that breaks down on party lines, but it gets passed, it doesn't mean there wasn't unity, it just means it wasn't bipartisan," Biden explained this week.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was also asked to clarify what “unity” meant to Biden. “Unity is about the country feeling that they’re in it together, and I think we’ll know that when we see it," she said, adding that Biden would be working on that at "every opportunity he has to speak to the public."

Just as in the past, to Republicans, "unity" means coalescing around their wishes. What we will see is a rerun of the kind of "cooperation" Obama received as he tried to pull the country back from the edge of the abyss in 2009.
