a couple days ago because I thinking about a federal judge in Montana that announced that he was taking senior status, opening up a vacancy on the US District Court in Montana.

The federal district court in Montana is virtually an all-Obama court. All of the active judges are Obama appointees, which I'm sure is owed to Max Baucus and Jon Tester being the senators from Montana at the time.

I was thinking of how much more difficult it might be for Biden to appoint someone to that seat considering that he has to deal with one Republican senator, as opposed to Obama who had two Democratic senators from Montana.
