One of the judges listed, Jennifer Reardon, was voted out of committee unanimously and confirmed on a voice vote. She obviously wasn't that controversial. Another (Karen Williams) was confirmed by a comfortable bipartisan margin. Yet two newly confirmed judges who required tiebreaking votes by the Vice President were removed. Others are stalled because they couldn't answer basic questions about the law and Constitution and they aren't listed.
There is one circuit court nominee who threatened to name an underage rape victim and even members of his own party are undecided. Isn't he a controversial nominee? Yet he was removed from the list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1702:CC4:20F0:6E8B:1252:DCA2:9116 ( talk) 02:07, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
I'm struggling with this because many of the so-called "controversies" with judicial nominations in this administration (and probably the last one too) are just based on bad-faith partisan attacks from the party out of power so I'm wondering if we should address what controversy means in this context.

Admin comment: I have full-protected the page for two days. That was a favor to the two of you, so that you don't get blocked for edit warring. Now work out your criteria for what is and is not a controversy, here on the talk page. If necessary, make individual discussion sections here for individual cases where you disagree. Do not edit war. If you keep it up, the next admin may not be as charitable as I am. -- MelanieN ( talk) 05:31, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
I skimmed this article, and I don't see what "controversies" there are. Republicans having objections to nominees doesn't make the nominations "controversies". Was this only created because there are other POTUS articles in Category:Federal judicial appointment controversies in the United States? Should this article, or any of the others, even exist? The article title implies Biden making controversial judicial appointments, which does not seem to be supported anywhere in the article. – Muboshgu ( talk) 18:13, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
Given Manchin has recently announced he will oppose all Judicial nominees without bipartisan support, and that has been the de facto policy for him for the past year, noting his opposition to a nominees subheading likely isn't relevant. With the exceptions of Abudu, Ho, and Mangi, - who I believe should still maintain mention of Manchins opposition - his opposition wasn't particularly notable in terms of criticism of their nominations. Abudu remains notable because it was the first tallied opposition to a judicial nominee by a Democratic Senator, Ho as there was a statement given out in terms of opposition, and Mangi as Manchins opposition alongside Cortez Masto's effectively sinks his nomination. The other nominees in which he has opposed does not appear to be notable enough to the nature of the nominees "controversy". LosPajaros ( talk) 04:35, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

1. The passage about Tovah Renee Calderon should be removed from this page. In the alternative and at a minimum, the subtitle "Failed nominees" should be changed to "Voluntarily withdrawn nominees."
2. If the passage is retained, the phrase "acting deputy assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division" should be changed to "Principal Deputy Chief of the Appellate Section in the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice."
1. The passage should be removed from this page because none of the cited references support the characterization of her nomination as "controversial." In addition, the subtitle "Failed nominees" is incorrect because the nomination did not fail. As noted, the nominee was reported out of committee. And as noted in the reference cited in footnote 276, the nominee requested that her nomination be withdrawn before the full Senate could vote on her nomination,
2. The job title is outdated and incorrect.
