Instead of a lengthy Senate confirmation process, judges will be automatically appointed by the President or the Judicial Nomination Commission, unless Congress objects. This aims to speed up the filling of judicial vacancies, potentially improving the efficiency of the local justice system.

The President will automatically appoint judges from a list recommended by the Judicial Nomination Commission, without Senate confirmation.
