Judge Margaret Guzman was confirmed earlier this week to the U.S. District Court for Massachusetts by the U.S. Senate. The vote was split 48-48 along party lines, with Vice President Kamala Harris casting the tie-breaking vote.

Both Massachusetts senators, Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey, recommended Guzman for the position. In an interview with Spectrum News 1, Warren said the vote shows what the future of the Senate could look like.

"Judge Guzman's confirmation is one more reminder of why it's so important that Democrats held on to the Senate, and in fact expanding our lead in the Senate by a vote," Warren said. "If we had lost control of the Senate, you and I wouldn't be celebrating today about Judge Guzman's confirmation because it wouldn't have happened."

Earlier this week, the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in two cases about the legality of President Joe Biden's student debt forgiveness plan. Warren said she believes the court is overstepping its role.

"The extremists on the Supreme Court were basically talking about would they have done a different kind of program," Warren said. "That's not for the Supreme Court to do. They decide constitutionality, they decide the interpretation of the statute and that's it. We have elected representatives to make these core decisions and this is a court that is trying to pull all of the power into itself and substitute its judgment."

Six Republican-led states brought one lawsuit against the forgiveness plan, while the conservative advocacy organization Job Creators Network Foundation backed the second. Both said the president is overstepping his authority. Decisions on both cases are expected this summer.
