Fundamentally do not understand why they wouldn't be appointing judges.

The people who should be working on the appointments have other responsibilities that they consider more urgent? Obsolete or otherwise problematic requirements make it difficult to find suitable candidates? Candidates who are suitable refuse the positions when offered?

(More than likely it's just the usual combination of outright screwups with childish bureacratic infighting, though.)

There will be 77 vacancies in federally appointed judicial positions across the country as of Sept. 1, 2023

For months, Supreme Court Chief Justice Richard Wagner has been urging the government to speed up the appointment process.
