President Donald Trump dramatically reshaped the courts over his four-year term with a record pace of nominations, and now Biden - who took part in hundreds of confirmations as the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee - is eager to leave his mark with nominees of his own.

Washington - President Joe Biden s top advisers have spent months building an extensive pipeline of judicial nominees to fill court vacancies throughout the country, attempting to swiftly remake portions of the judiciary and undo one of his predecessor s most significant achievements.

Greene is a QAnon conspiracy theorist. The QAnon conspiracy theory is based on cryptic posts to online message boards from an anonymous user known as Q that have spread rampantly on social media and among fringe right-wing media. QAnon conspiracy theorists essentially believe that former President Donald Trump has been secretly working to take down the purported deep state, a supposed cabal of satanic high-ranking officials who they claim are operating pedophile rings. The FBI has labeled the conspiracy theory as a potential domestic terror threat. Greene has repeatedly expressed support for QAnon, including posting pro-QAnon messages on social media and calling Q a patriot who is worth listening to.
