I think there is a reasonable point though. Courts are backed up, the Senate is always slow at confirming (and some presidents slow at nominating) judges. And there's not enough Judges or courts to handle our population/amount of suits?

One negative consequence of this is the amount of plea deals and the pressures that puts on the accused.

Pandemic seemed to have made it worse.

Another thought would be building out more official specialization to speed things up. I can't find it but there was a HN article a few weeks ago talking about a I think a Texas judge who handled the vast majority of some type of specific litigation. It might have been patents I can't seem to remember. Said because that judicial district has a larger volume of case 'law' and well-defined regulations which is also an odd quirk to me as a non-lawyer - that regions can be different. article was about court shopping too, where corporations use their power to get moved into his court because they get better outcomes.

Confirmations could certainly be a lot faster without being any less thorough. Why does a nation of over 300 million people need to task the same 100 people with this? It could still be 100 people per confirmation but for example there could be several groups of 100 in the government whose job it is to vet people and each group of 100 gets a different handful of positions to confirm.
