@realDonaldTrump @PromisesKept @Article3Project "In less than three years as president, President Trump has done nearly as much to shape the courts as President Obama did in eight years." - @imillhiser
"Trump hasn’t simply given lots of lifetime appointments to lots of lawyers. He’s filled the bench with some of the smartest, and some of the most ideologically reliable, men and women to be found in the conservative movement." - @imillhiser
"Long after Trump leaves office, these judges will shape American law — pushing it further and further to the right even if the voters soundly reject Trumpism in 2020." - @imillhiser
"On the courts of appeal, the final word in the overwhelming majority of federal cases, more than one-quarter of active judges are Trump appointees." - @imillhiser
"In less than three years, Trump has named a total of 48 judges to these courts — compared to the 55 Obama appointed during his entire presidency." - @imillhiser
NOTE: This number jumps from 48 to 50 this week.

"At this point in the Obama presidency, Obama had appointed only 24 court of appeals judges, meaning that Trump is appointing appellate judges twice as fast as Obama." - @imillhiser
"At a similar point in their presidencies, President George W. Bush had filled only 30 seats on the federal appellate bench; President Clinton, 27; President George H.W. Bush, 31; and President Reagan, 23." - @imillhiser
"It’s tempting to assume that Trump’s judicial appointees share the goonish incompetence of the man who placed them on the bench, but this assumption could not be more wrong." - @imillhiser
"His picks include leading academics, Supreme Court litigators, and already prominent judges who now enjoy even more power within the judiciary." - @imillhiser
"In other words, based solely on objective legal credentials, the average Trump appointee has a far more impressive résumé than any past president’s nominees." - @imillhiser
"And they’re young, too. 'The average age of circuit judges appointed by President Trump is less than 50 years old,' the Trump White House bragged in early November, 'a full 10 years younger than the average age of President Obama’s circuit nominees.'” - @imillhiser
"Trump’s nominees will serve for years or even decades after being appointed. Even if Democrats crush the 2020 elections and win majorities in both houses of Congress, these judges will have broad authority to sabotage the new president’s agenda." - @imillhiser
"There is simply no recent precedent for one president having such a transformative impact on the courts." - @imillhiser
"In other words, it’ll be a long, long time before Democrats can undo the work Trump and the Republicans have done to turn the judiciary rightward." - @imillhiser
"The truth is, by worshipping at the altar of Trump, Republicans haven’t simply ensured conservative dominance of one branch of government. They may have entrenched conservative governance for decades." - @imillhiser
Is @imillhiser colluding with @TeamTrump?
