Category talk:United States district court judges by appointing president

Isn't "nominating" more correct than "appointing"
These judges must be confirmed by the U.S. Senate. The president's role, I thought, was more accurately described by the word "nominating". He nominates the person for the judgeship and the person gets the role if and after the Senate goes through the confirmation. The confirmation hearings are not a trivial administrative checkbox sort of exercise; the nominee is actually considered by a panel of high-ranking officials. So should we rename this category ". . . . by nominating president"? I would have preferred that. Help me understand. -- econterms (talk) 22:18, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
