"One out of every 4 active judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals have been appointed by President Trump," says @AdamKennedy45 dailysign.al/2pMDvp6 via @RobertBluey @DailySignal
@AdamKennedy45 @RobertBluey @DailySignal This administration has worked with Congress to confirm 157 federal judges. Again, that’s 157 federal judges. It includes 43 judges to federal circuit courts and two new justices to the U.S. Supreme Court. Can you tell us why this is a priority for President Trump?
@AdamKennedy45 @RobertBluey @DailySignal 1 of every 4 active judges on the US Court of Appeals has been appointed by President Trump. The average age is actually a full 10 years younger for these justices than under President [Barack] Obama. So I think what the president is doing is putting a lasting stamp on the courts
@AdamKennedy45 @RobertBluey @DailySignal We’ve actually already flipped two different courts. The [2nd] Circuit and the 11th have already flipped over because of this. … And we’re going to continue to make progress.
@AdamKennedy45 @RobertBluey @DailySignal Only a few cases actually get picked up by the Supreme Court. The appellate level, the circuit level, those are where a lot of the cases are heard and where a lot of the lasting decisions are made, and where a lot of precedent is made.
@AdamKennedy45 @RobertBluey @DailySignal So by making progress there, the president’s really putting a lasting imprint on how the Constitution will be interpreted going forward, and it’s going to be interpreted as it was written.
@AdamKennedy45 @RobertBluey @DailySignal Trump so far has appointed 157 judges who have won Senate confirmation, and that is expected to be 161 by the end of the week. At this point in his presidency, Obama had 103 judges confirmed.
