Hey while you're paying attention to other stuff Republicans are about to confirm young ideologues to be lifetime U.S. circuit judges. huffpost.com/entry/trump-ju…
Senate Republicans voted tonight to advance Allison Jones Rushing's nomination. She's a Federalist Society pick, has argued there were "moral & practical reasons" for banning same-sex marriage and is about to become a US circuit judge.

She's only 37. huffpost.com/entry/trump-ju…
Also getting a Senate confirmation vote this week for a lifetime seat on a US circuit court: Eric Murphy, who has fought to make it easier to disenfranchise voters and argued against marriage equality.

Murphy is only 40. huffpost.com/entry/trump-ju…
Also also getting a Senate confirmation vote this week for a lifetime seat on a US circuit court: Chad Readler, who filed a brief in favor of striking down ACA + defended Trump’s ban on transgender people serving in the military.

He's only 46. huffpost.com/entry/trump-ju…
This week's votes on 3 of Trump's circuit court nominees only adds to the huge effect he's already had on fed courts.

He's gotten 31 circuit judges thru so far. That’s more than *any* president has confirmed by this point in his 1st term. Lifetime seats. huffpost.com/entry/trump-ju…
Put another way: Trump has gotten so many circuit judges confirmed that 1 in 6 seats on circuit courts is filled by a judge he nominated.

Obama confirmed 55 circuit judges in 8 years. Trump, in 2 years, is more than halfway there. Lifetime posts folks. huffpost.com/entry/trump-ju…
Anyway, just a reminder that what will arguably be Trump's greatest legacy that affects millions of people for generations to come is quietly and rapidly underway. ~fin~
