TPM’s Sahil Kapur writes:

A total of 155 nominations for the executive and judicial branches are pending on the Senate floor, and there’s nowhere near enough time to confirm them all before the next Congress is sworn in. That includes 50 vacancies on district courts and 7 vacancies in appeals courts, and more will open up.

But the 155 nominations “pending on the Senate floor” do not in fact “include[] 50 vacancies on district courts and 7 vacancies in appeals courts.” As the Senate executive calendar that Kapur links to shows, there are (by my quick count) only seven nominations of district-court judges pending on the Senate floor and zero nominations of federal appellate judges. As Kapur’s second link shows, Obama has not yet nominated anyone to any of the seven pending appellate vacancies, and he has made only 25 nominations to the 50 district-court vacancies. Further, as this more detailed list shows, 15 of those 25 nominations have been made since mid-June.

Update, 4:36 p.m.: Kapur has modified the passage to avoid the error.
