The Senate confirmed EIGHT new federal judges this week, bringing Donald Trump's total to 170.
—120 on district courts
—48 on circuit courts
—2 on Supreme Court
Nearly all are in their 40s or 50s with lifetime appointments and positioned to shape American law for generations.

Nearly all are in their 40s or 50s with lifetime appointments and positioned to shape American law for generations.
(That number is higher if you include courts of international trade, tax, bankruptcy and others.)
Donald Trump has now picked about one in every five American federal judges.
It gets a tiny fraction of attention compared to other stuff he does but this is the Trump legacy that'll echo for generations after he's gone.
